It's a parade! Everyone is enjoying the warm sun today. #shetlandsheep #llamas #manitobagrown #manitobafibrefarm #pembinafibreshed

A book to cherish and savour, a "spell book" to read aloud for the pure joy of conjuring the natural world with language. The illustrations are equally beautiful and evocative of our precious and fragile connection to nature. "By the magic of word and paint, they sought to summon these words again into the voices, stories and dreams of children and adults alike ..." #rewild #lostwords #getoutside #robertmacfarlane #wildplaces #oldways #naturalmagic #nature #acorn #bluebell #fern #heron #kingfisher #otter #willow #jackiemorris

Every one has clothes in need of mending. Here's your chance to learn from Anna-Marie in Winnipeg! Reposted from @reclaimmending - MENDING WORKSHOP!! I'm doing another mending workshop, this time in collaboration with @pembinafibreshed on SUNDAY JANUARY 20th at the Henderson Library, from 1:30-4:30. We will be covering hand stitching, minor hand sewing repairs, visible mending and some darning methods as well. Go to http://www.pembinafibreshed.com to sign up! #mending #lessons #sewinglessons #workshop #mendingworkshop #pembinafibreshed #winnipeg #localbusiness #localbusinesscollaboration #sewing #learntosew #makedoandmend #lovedclotheslast #makeyourclotheslastlonger

Hazel catches the afternoon rays. #decembersun #prairiewinter #bordercollie

Waiting for the light, with a wonky wreath and a full heart. Happy solstice! #wheeloftheyear #yule #darkestnight

I so seldom accomplish a finished knitting project that I have little practice in the fine art of knit wear photography. I'm sharing this cowl anyway as it is so pleasing to have it done, even with all its imperfections. The yarn is my handspun from a long forgotten roving source and the pattern from an old Spinoff magazine. Soft and cozy. #spinnersofinstagram #donenotperfect #handmade #wearwool

Let the merry dance begin! Harris is now in with four sizable and self assured ewes. The little guy isn't completely sure which way to turn. Being polite, and basically lazy, when his first advances were refused he decided to just eat for a while. I'm sure the girls will get him sorted out soon. #shetlandsheep #manitobafibrefarm #dreamingofmaylambs

Harris is trying to be patient, but he knows it's time he got to work with the ladies. Those nose wrinkles are a sign that breeding season is here. He spends a lot of time with nose in the air, smelling the delicious smells of nearby ewes. #leafhavenshetlands #shetlandsheep #gulmoget #canadianshetlands #manitobafibrefarm #pembinafibreshed

Day four of Wovember, the worldwide celebration of this wonderful fibre, wool. Today's prompt is Sheep so I am featuring Jasper, our flock patriarch and a dear old soul. He is long retired (and neutered) so enjoys his days peacefully hanging out with the ewes away from the testosterone melee in the boys' pen. The word "sheep" is often used to indicate lack of original thought or individual characteristics. Spend time with a flock and you will soon discover each Sheep has their own clear personality and opinions. I am very grateful that Jasper finds me worthy of his affection. #wovember2018 #leafhavenshetlands #shetlandsheep #pembinafibreshed #manitobagrown #manitobafibrefarm #knowyourfibre

I see you, moon. #birchriver #octobermoon

It's a mixed up world. Leaves on top of the snow make wonderful designs but oh how I am missing that magical October light.

It's a gray day. Good for gathering the last leaves of the season and simmering a dye pot on the wood stove. #slowfashionoctober #schoolofnomadarts #forestfloor #sumac #coloursofhome
