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
(Click the contents page to view larger) Release date 29 August 2019 This issue is now available to all current subscribers! The underlying focus of this issue is that of ‘Harmony’, something that I have found we are all looking for and enjoy in our lives. Of course in our fibery lives even more so, as spinning, knitting, weaving, stitching.. these hand crafts are frequently the actual source of the harmonies we create in our lives. Throughout this issue
It is here! We have a shiny new Issue of tinyStudio Creative Life magazine available now to all Subscribers! This time we get behind the scenes with some amazing spinning wheel creators, we have some awesome hands on tutorials, and we have the thoughts and ideas of some extremely inspirational fiber artists.

This event was named after Tour de France an annual multiple stage bicycle event help in France over the course of three weeks in July. This
It’s hard to believe we are wrapping up another year already! As we get close to the end of the year I like to gather all the projects I’ve done over the year and pile them up into a group photo.

Many moons ago, I became a Sock Knitter. While I dye, spin, weave, knit and crochet, deep down inside lives an eternal Sock Knitter.  By a rough estimate, I’ve knit 500,000 stitches in the pursuit of making footwear.  Maybe it’s because I’ve always loved shoes that I naturally gravitated towards making socks.  It still amazes me that with two needles and some yarn, the curves and angles of the foot can be accommodated so beautifully.
Editor’s Notes: It’s been a nice vacation…After compiling over a hundred featured artist posts at spinartiste.com, I took five months off! And, just like any break, you end up assessing how to resume and move forward. What finally came to the surface was I missed doing this posts. So, we’ve decided to weave one in about once a month and, most exciting of all, we will be featuring an artist from within our Fibery Goodness community. If you participate in
We would like to share a blogpost with you from Natalie Redding this week. The reason being, Natalie is teaching her ‘Redding Method’ dye classes with us as the Master Dyers Certification program here at Fiberygoodness.
