Dead Man’s Hats & Bog Trauma

I was nine years old when I saw my first dead body.

Fibre crafts and activism have long been linked together, coining the portmanteau “craftivism.”

This was supposed to be my brain-break sweater, but it broke my brain instead.

Having finished two of the most complex sweaters I’ve ever made back-to-back, I feel like I could fight a god and win.

Christmas is two weeks away, it’s practically here.

The 1960s were an iconic era for fashion, social change, and counterculture.

Last weekend was steeped in friendship, laughter, creativity, and immaculate vibes in Bittern Lake, Alberta at the Rebel Hearts crafting retreat.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Stephen West, it’s that the man loves an “-along.”

It was only a matter of time before I got brave enough to make something entirely from scratch.

I turned 31 this past Sunday, and I am still reeling from the most love-filled, fantastical weekend of all time.
