A special thank you to those Patrons who invest financially.

Hello! On this edition I visit with the Nicole of the @the gentle knitter I start a new quilting project, endeavor into some English Paper Piecing and KNITTING! As always thank you for tuning in!
It was fun to gather a little maple sugaring footage for you all. This process starts with tapping so you’ll have to wait for the boiling stage! This is a process that Rob thoroughly enjoys every year. In this edition, I highlight some more geli printing techniques I learned from Robyn McClendon on her YouTube channel. I also talk about one of my favorite yarns, Foula. As always, many thanks for taking some time be here and for those that contribute financially, I am deeply grateful. I have added a bonus episode over on Patreon highlighting six of my favorite yarns…which I end up labeling my top 5 but, ahem, it’s six 😉
A warm welcome to the latest episode. As always I hope this finds you well and in good spirits. I am plodding along, head down and looking forward to our April school break. In this edition, I feature a quilt project and my latest knitting endeavors. I also include a brief, demonstration of how I decoupage with napkins in my journal work. As I highlight, the napkins open up a whole new realm of medium, images and possibilities. Thank you so much for investing some time here. I am deeply grateful for those that contribute financially on Patreon. Thank you. Many fond wishes till next time.

Hello! I hope you’ve enjoyed the beginning of 2022. As you will see, I’ve been busy taking full advantage of winter craft time. I’ve recently discovered how much fun a gel plate can be! I take you on a short, amateur, adventure in this episode. There’s also knitting, ahem a momentous moment with the Bressay, spinning and a wee bit of stitching. A deep heartfelt thank you to the Patrons of this podcast. I am so enjoying working with my new camera and my subscription to Epidemic Sound for music!
Phew, just made it! I started uploading this video on the 30th ! I will upload all the videos to Vimeo when I return South for work and have access to the that thing they call high speed internet;) Happy New Year and many fond wishes to you and yours. I am so looking forward to the creative adventures of 2022. And I am so glad you’ll be traveling with me. A heartfelt thank you for the insight, comments, and monies that are invested here. Blessings, Sarah

Ai! As it took 15 hours to upload this video from my house in northern Maine sans high speed internet, I will upload a version to Vimeo when I return to my parents’ home for Christmas. For now you can access it with ads on YouTube below. In this edition, Rob and I make cookies and I share my process for making felt ornaments. I also continue to play around with our new Go Pro camera and time lapses. As always a deep, heartfelt thank you for your support.
