It is time to make hard decisions, I am sure I am not the only one faced with these at the moment. Over the last couple of months I have been working really hard to get us ready to go to print with our next tinyStudio Creative Life magazine issue. I have had each issue printed as a one off just for myself and Evanita, and it is an absolute thrill to get it in my hands. The drive to
Fun With Spikes! Here we go! We are all, in one way or another, finding our way through the global pandemic known as Covid-19. It has been an emotional roller coaster for many of us, and I feel this is a great time to bring you something to distract you from the stresses of lockdown and social distancing. This is something I began mid 2019 after being asked to teach at Majacraft Camp 2020. The theme was ‘Naturals’. Over the
At tinyStudio we have been looking for ways to help support our community and especially those who have lost sales (and stash enhancement opportunities) as Fiber Events around the world are cancelled due to Covid-19 As one way we think we can help, we are creating a definitive directory of vendors: fiber producers and suppliers, yarn dyers, tool makers, and teachers.

As the world is slowing down and we are more and more confined to keep our families and communities safe, many of us are worrying about how we can remain connected with our friends, our fiber groups, and keep our creative lives positive. One of the very earliest goals we had for Fiberygoodness when we got started in 2013 was to be a connection point for people all around the world, understanding that not everyone has a social spinning group
Today I posted on our Facebook group about the anxiety I have been feeling as I get everything set up ready to move into adding print magazine issues to our subscription options for tinyStudio Creative Life magazine! I am at the stage where the numbers seem overwhelming, the financial commitment is daunting, and the usual self doubt nibbles away to undermine my confidence about being able to inspire enough people to subscribe to cover the print and distribution costs! eeeek!
Here I am back again, to announce the publication of Issue SIX of tinyStudio Creative Life magazine! The time has sped by since our previous issue, but we have been super busy behind the scenes getting this issue ready to go. I know I say this every time, but every issue I am working on quickly becomes my favourite 🙂 This one is no exception! The gentle focus or theme in this issue is ‘Conscious Crafting’, something that I think
We are starting something new and a little different with tinyStudio Creative Life magazine! You may have heard that 2020 IS the year we are going to paper print with our beloved magazine. I am hoping that this can happen as soon as Issue 7, and I will be opening up subscriptions in early March, I am very excited to be able to do this and the deeper I get into shaping this big move, the more I am certain
If you like to purchase raw fleece and do your own fiber prep for spinning, you probably also find that its handy to keep a record of fleeces you have and fleeces you have also processed and finished with! What I am sharing with you now is a super easy peasy graphic way of recording just the key information about each fleece you have purchased. This is a handy way to keep the information you need for project planning and
We are super excited to be bringing you a gifting possibility for tinyStudio Magazine! We have had people asking about how to share tinyStudio by gifting to a friend, and we love this idea too, so for a very limited time (now until 31 December 2019) we are making it possible to gift someone you care about a whole 12 months of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine! Included in their gift, your fibery bestie will be getting the current issue (5)
It is getting closer to THAT time of the year, the time when we look to fairy lights, magical sparkle and gorgeous rich colour to festive up our environments.

Corinne is a fantastic, inspirational fiber artist who’s creativity is clear as soon as you visit her Woolly Wizzard facebook page . I am honoured to be sharing Corinnes
