Beanbag bomba
Paper storage facilities also work for textiles! Something I have started to run with recently is freeform crochet. I haven’t done much research into freeform crocheting artists yet, but what I have seen I have really liked. I wouldn’t say you were making it up as you go along but… I think that

Leading up to the woolbombing
On Wednesday last week I began the afternoon sessions leading up to International Yarn Bombing Day. Things have started off slowly, for everyone else. Currently making a lot of everything, as fast as I can! Lots of little flags, cuffs, wraps and 1/3rd of a beanbag chair. Picnic on the gallery floor Crochet party of

What’s this?
NeedlesHooksPins the blog had a birthday over the weekend. Unfortunately, it appears I celebrate these milestones like I celebrate my own: remember a few days before, run out of time, do nothing until well after the fact.

At the end of February; update on theGRID

Felting/felt supplies All the felt, crochet

Fortunately, construction of theGRID space continues

Exhibition at Atelier gallery
So, I have works at the Atelier Unique Fine Art gallery. There’s an open day on this Sunday from 12pm-2pm and I would love to see people there, to talk about textiles and what not. There’s so much on this weekend! I will be swinging by there in between the Have a Go festival at the

Begin anew.
I never got around to the why of all those mushrooms. Those were used in a frantic fortnight of late, late nights and the hysteria you develop after days of reduced sleep. Looking back, I am glad I have photos as it’s all a blur of stitch, stitch, stitch, with brief intermissions when Micheal, the owner, wandered

Crows Nest
I went up to Crows Nest Art Gallery yesterday and installed 4 of my works for their latest exhibition, Something Only We Know. Some of these works are a bit older, and I was astounded by where my head was then, and how connected these works are to periods in my life. I don’t think I have
