After our 5 day haul (including a hard trek across the island in 10.5 hours on Tuesday) Rayna, Tito, Kayleigh and I arrived in St. John’s Newfoundland yesterday evening. Rayna’s father is my kindred spirit. He’s a photographer, adventurer and he loves Paul Simon (with…
We are almost to St. John’s on what has been one marathon of a drive! Day 1 – Toronto, ON to Quebec City, QC Day 2 – Quebec City, QC to Moncton, NB Day 3 – Moncton, NB to North Sydney, NS Day 4 –…
So now I get to reveal something that is both very sad and kinda exciting. Rayna, my fibre buddy, confidant, bridesmaid, craft companion in spinning, dyeing, weaving, designing… in other words one of the most important people in my world, is moving home to Newfoundland.…
Before I dive back into book and resin related goodies I’ve got to show off the little bit of fiber touring I did while I was there. The Brooklyn General Store doesn’t sound like a yarn shop, does it? I suppose because, strictly speaking, it…

It wasn’t easy for us to make time to visit this little spot, but I couldn’t resist. Yarnia is, to quote their website, “the only yarn shop where you can design your very own custom yarn blend, and buy it by the pound. You choose…
Water and rocks may be where my heart is, but Tito loves giant trees, so a trip along the 101 Coastal highway would not be complete without a visit to see the giant redwood forests. We stopped at the roadside attraction ‘Trees of Mystery’ with…
Bandon Beach was one of those places that was high on the list for Oregon; I’d seen photos of the amazing rock formations and was really looking forward to shooting there, especially during the dusk, and at nighttime, where I was hoping for great sunsets…
Just a few shots of the sunset in a small coastal town called Yachats. Yachats is off the 100, just north of Cape Perpetua, and it’s where we stayed while we were shooting Thor’s Well. The colours in these shots are straight out of the…
