Hi Weavers! As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, I wanted to pause and wish you a very Merry Christmas and a most blessed season. In the quiet of the nativity - a humble child, a mother’s love, a faithful guardian, we’re reminded of the true gift of Christmas: love freely given. May your home be filled with peace, your heart with gratitude, and your days with gentle joy as you celebrate the birth of Christ. I hope you get lots of weaving time over this holiday period! Thank you for being...

Hi Weavers!

In this post, I’ll walk you through the pros, cons, and key questions to help you decide whether a larger rigid heddle loom is right for you: Before You Buy A Bigger Rigid Heddle Loom... ********************************************************* NEW MINI CLASS!

Hi Weavers! This week's newsletter is somewhat brief after another busy week away from home, helping to care for my elderly mother in law. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my lonely looms soon! I did set aside some time to write a new article though, so I hope you enjoy that. When you purchase a brand new weaving loom, you may anticipate that it will arrive “finished” or treated with some sort of lacquer. This is not always the case and it’s worth checking before purchase, just so you...

Hi Weavers! To all of my US friends, Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a truly blessed day with family and friends ❤️ As you know, it's been a huge, busy week of sales for me, so this week's Weekend Edition is a little shorter than usual 😉 By the way, if I missed an email or message this week, please accept my apologies, the volume of emails received has been massive. Yesterday's membership Black Friday deal spots filled very quickly, I'm sorry if you missed out. Keep your eye on your inbox...

Hi Weavers! Weaving is typically known for slow and steady rather than a "quick win". But there are times for all of us where life is super busy and we think "I just want to weave something in a weekend and have it done". Personally, I love a more challenging project but does that mean that I want every single project to take hours in the planning, setting up and then weaving? Not at all! Those “quick wins” have their own special place in the creative life. They can give you a much needed...

Hi Weavers! November is my busiest month of the year, and this week was no exception. Phew! I think I've earned myself some loom time at this point and it just happens to be a cold, wet day today - perfect for cosying up in the studio with a loom or two! During the week I released Episode 8 for the Kindred Weavers members group where I shared my plan to get on top of the overwhelm I've been feeling for some time. Firstly, I cleaned and reorganised my studio, which had become cluttered and...
