Beyond the Skein: Where Life Happens
It Really is All About Community
Come, explore the wonders of the Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre! From fairy gardens to fun floor stickers, this place is a treasure trove of family-focused activities. I even delve into its history as a former Canadian Forces Base. Join me in uncovering the small yet significant things that make our community special. Let’s explore!
My First London Pride Parade!
Join me in my latest blog post where I share a heartwarming story of how my daughter and I unexpectedly found ourselves at the Pride parade. From dodging the rain in a cozy coffee shop to being swept up in the vibrant celebration, it was a day of love, laughter, and inclusivity. Experience the joy of the parade, the unity of diverse groups, and the hope it brought for a more accepting future. It’s a reminder of the beauty in being open and embracing every moment.
Hanging Out with Apollo – Shot of the Day
Dive into my latest blog post for a heartwarming look back at my grandson Apollo’s growth, from his favourite coat to his talent in beatboxing. Reflect with me on the joys of family, the importance of safety in sharing photos, and how quickly kids learn. Plus, get a glimpse of our special upcoming church visit!
As an artist and fiberartist, I delight in blending life’s narratives into my creations. It’s more than just crafting; it’s about infusing my feelings, recollections, and adventures into something tangible and beautiful.
Each piece I create is a personal voyage, reflecting moments of happiness, love, and transformation. In my hands, fibers become a conduit for connection, allowing me to weave my inner experiences into visual tales. This journey transcends mere artistry—it’s a profound exploration and expression of my identity through the colourful threads of life.
Join us every Wednesday from 1–3 PM EST for a cozy virtual knitgroup in the Fiberarts Community on GoBrunch!
