Falkland Pillar

Last sunday after the guild sale we went on a small geo caching trip with Katie through the Chase/ Falkland Road . We stopped and hiked up to the pillar at Joyce lake. We've seen the pillar from the distance before, but had never hiked up to look at it up close.

Thompson Valley Potters & Weavers

Last Saturday was the Thompson Valley Potters and Weavers Guild sale downtown.


The show was very well attended and people were coming in and shopping all day. I did well and was excited because I sold lots of big items ( as well as other items), including my long "Tranquille Spring" fabric landscape.  I also sold the expensive puff chenille poncho like the one I gave to Corrie. I only made 3 and now they are all gone.


The people that bought the big landscape, also bought a smaller Kamloops Lake landscape and were sneaking around buying  the Tranquille one as a Christmas gift for a woman from Vernon who fell in love with it. It's the biggest peice of art I've ever sold. I just tried making the bigger peices last winter to see if I could do it and managed to get 3 out of 4 peices finished . Two have now sold. It's nice when people appreciate your work especially art.

I always sell lots of weaving but the landscapes are more fun!


Now I just have to weave more scarves for a few galleries that want my work before Christmas and then I'll have time to play again!

Sunrise Mountain hike

A few weeks ago we took an afternoon and hiked part way up Sunrise Mountain near our home.

Colours of Oct.

I'm really late getting my photos for Oct. up, but we have had such a beautiful Oct. that I didn't want to miss posting. It's been really fun sharing photos from around the world with Life Looms Large blog http://lifeloomslarge.blogspot.com/ .    This is the last month for this project and I will miss it.

Here are some pictures from our yard in Kamloops in Oct.
