Being able to show my small ones that they can follow their passion and make a difference for others is a privilege I'll never take for granted.

I'm [🤞] setting up a new studio in Ware for my art practice, where I'll also run accessible craft workshops with a focus on wellbeing, and the art of making for making's sake.
With my new company I've even been brought in to design, make and facilitate the most inspiring community campaign project - more on that soon!
I'm continuing my degree in Textiles, developing my personal practice and raising two powerful and ridiculous little girls in the process. So stay tuned, but also send me your most soothing and uplifting thoughts 🤪😂🥰 by @cdhtexart

Mummy's ickle baby crafter came to meet Sigourney at the studio. She can name all the parts way better than I could when I started building the thing. My selvedges are carnage and warp threads are dropping like flies, but I'm learning (rinse and repeat, always repeat) @angieparkertextiles you're completely responsible for this btw

Winding up a storm in the studio today 😬
(Sorry!)
Still working on my assessment submission but gave myself a treat - winding up 100g of my handspun superwash Blueface Leicester

Mystery fibre!
This rainbow stripe was in Mum's stash - I thiiiiink it's 100% merino but lost its label in one of the moves & it doesn't feature in her catalogue. Any other ideas about what it could be?
It's got a lovely long staple and is soooooo smooth.
It will be 2 ply, there's another bobbin's worth of fibre to be spun.

I'm collating and reviewing months of work for spring assessment. It's stressful but so uplifting to see the growth and development condensed into a few selected samples.
