That means the items in Santa's Secret Stocking are just $8 each! Because we could all use some good news. Link to website and shop in bio or DM for info. #shopstratford #stratfordontario #huronperth #supportlocal #goodnews 
Happy to finally return to work on this one. Mesmerizing even as I am making it. ☁️ #cloudscape #handdyedyarn #handmadeholidays #onionskindye #beeswax #wool #steelewoolfarm #supportlocal 
Sydenham 36" x 36" x 2" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel Last large panel from the Harrison Park Series, this one a tribute to the #sydenhamriver that flows through the park, dashing over huge escarpment boulders. I am not a fan of the more administrative parts of an artist's work but it is always interesting to view my work as a larger body. This photo made me realize I have been interested in the motion of water longer than I realized. #ontarioart #femaleartist #squareart 
Have art. Will travel.🌽 This is the larger version of 'Flows like Water Study' from a previous post. I named this one 'Flows like Water at Dawn' because of the pink and yellow in the bark. In hindsight, I might have named it something else. 😬 Whatever it is called, this is another one from the #harrisonpark series that always draws a lot of attention. #owensound #escarpment #squareart #woolart 
So happy to have this one heading off to a great home in Waterloo. Thank you! #artforsale #canadianart #stlawrenceriver 
20% off sale! Use the promo code INSTA20 in my shop (link from website in bio) and get 20% off on all purchases from today until the end of November. Or contact me by DM. Thanks for all of your likes and comments. You people rock! ❤️ #starttheholidays #startstratford #shoplocal #handmade #sale #stratfordon 
Half the fun of taking these shots outdoors is giving people the opportunity to shout things at us from passing vehicles. It has happened both times 😂 This gives you a better idea of the scale and the frame. #artoutside #stratfordontario #ontarioartist #knitpickspalette #woolart #stratfordon 
Pictorial history of Gratitude for Abundance, 24" x 48", Wool and Beeswax on Masonite This is probably the longest time I have spent on a single piece. Truly a labour of love and expression of joy. Also an experiment with analogous colour that was pretty successful, I think.🐤 It has since been professionally framed and I am heading out today for some more outdoor photography to do it justice and add to the shop. #goldfinch #howimadeit #analagouscolors #canadianartist #fibreartist 
Santa's Secret Stocking items for just$10 while supplies last! I rounded up a bunch of small pieces all regularly priced at $25 or more and put them into Santa's Stocking. This is a chance to own a tiny piece of original art for a tiny price or pick up some one of a kind stocking stuffers. Some of these are even made with hand dyed wool...just sayin'. DM or purchase from link on website. Free local delivery. #hohoho🎅 #startstratford #locallove #tinyart 
Hmmmm. Experimenting with duplicate stitch for the snowflake and a blanket stitch edge. I think I'll lose the ties at the points. What do you think? ❄️❄️❄️ #handmadeholidays #knittedstar #scrappylittlestars #makingitupasigo 
St. Lawrence Estuary at 18:50:30 on August 1, 2018 7" x 5" x 1" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel Another little jewel from the estuary group. Turbulent clouds with hopeful rays and a rising river. #canadianartist #sunsetart #fiberartist #wool #beeswax #knitpickspalette 
Four more of 'Collapsing Dramas.' 6" x 6" in the first photo and 9" x 12" in the second. All with wool hand dyed with onion skins. I like these. They are quiet somehow. Also I think the second pair look good together. What do you think? #ontariowool #botanicaldye #cloudscape #naturalart #fibreart 
Must stop knitting and go outside. But what if I tried one with a red base and a white accent fleck? I'll just cast it on so I don't forget... Scrappy Little Stars are addictive. ⭐ #knittersofinstagram #putdowntheknitting 
So grateful to the organizers of Start the Holidays for finding a way to continue the show. Check out www.startstratford.com for a collection of arts and gifts all made by talented Stratford artists. Always an honour to be included with this group! @start.stratford #stratfordon #shoplocal 
St. Lawrence Estuary at 18:07:55 on August 1, 2018 5"x7"X2" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel $200 Earlier in the sunset, the river is lower and there are great muddy grass banks leading out to smooth shining silver. Sultry. Sorry for the sibilance. Hmmm...must be cocktail hour.🍸 #lowtide #canadianartist #fiberartist 
Finally figured out the best way to photograph my big work. 😂 What a gorgeous day with perfect light. Adding this one to the shop tomorrow. Hands down crowd favourite and I love it too. The Buzzard Tree 36"x36"X2" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel Harrison Park Series #buhzerd #harrisonpark #owensound #treeart #woolpainting #ontario 
St. Lawrence Estuary at 19:43:34 on August 1, 2018 9"x12"x1" Wool & Beeswax on Wood Panel One of the stand outs of this series. When I look at this piece I hear a deep rolling thunderous noise. Elemental. What a sky! The sun was almost down and reflected in the rising river. #stlawrenceriver #ontarioartist #wool #beeswax #fibreart #sunsetart 
Tomorrow I will add these to the shop one by one so that you get to pick. Hand stitched wool and each one is unique. $20 #stars #handembroidery #wool #tassels #scandi #handmadeholidays #shopstratford 
Wave 4D: Jubilant 12" x 12" x 2" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel Making Waves Series $500 Here's another one I kinda want to hold onto. Cherry blossoms in the sky! Making Waves was an exploration into process. I started with a 6" x 6" (Wave 1), asked myself a series of questions about what I could do differently and then made another. When I felt like I'd earned it (not sure what that means, I just live here 🙄) I would move on to larger panels. Hence Wave 4D is the fourth wave in the fourth size group. More work being added to my new shop each day. Check it out on my website or drop me a message. 🌸🌸🌸 #cherryblossoms #waves #canadianartist #woolylove 
Clockwise from top left in first photo: Numbers 11, 10, 3 & 7 of the Flutter by Blyth series. Wool, the plants that dyed it and the know how to do it all from Blyth, ON. Using naturally dyed wools is one of the ways I am making my practice greener and more local. 4" x 4" x 1" $85 #factsblyth #blythontario #botanicaldye #beeswax #butterflywings #steelewoolfarm #miniart #fiberartist 
Acumulus 9" x 12" x 1.5" Local wool, hand dyed by me using onion skins I saved for months (!), Local beeswax, and acrylic paint on Wood Panel Collapsing Dramas series $335 Inspired by the teachings of #pemachodron this group is an exploration into peace and serenity- into the way clouds accumulate and then fall apart. People sometimes ask me if it is hard to let work go and generally I am already on to the next thing but my heart is in this series. #onionskindye #bluesky #clouds #canadianfibreartist #stratfordartist 
New kit design! I created this retro snowflake design for holiday cards last year and got a lot of requests for a kit. So here it is! $35 gets you everything you need to create your own wool yarn painting, plus free delivery in Stratford, K-W and area. Want different colours? Send me a colour palette and I will do my best to recreate it, using the gorgeous colours of Canada's oldest woolen mill, Briggs & Little. Don't forget regular kits are still available from @factsblyth too. Be sure to check out their fibre-loving Forest of Trees display coming soon. Please note supplies are limited this year due to world events (😆) and these are always popular. #kits #yarnpainting #retro #snowflakes #woolyloveliveshere #diy #shoplocal 
4" x 4 " x 1" mini's. Wool and Beeswax on Wood PaneI $45 I like to use these little squares to study elements of some of my favourite art works. Each of these is an investigation into a work by art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha. Priced right for gifting.🎁 #artnouveau #alphonsemucha #artstudy #artmini 
19:09:02 on August 1, 2018, St. Lawrence Estuary Series 6"x 8" x 1" Wool and Beeswax on Wood Panel $235 The dragonfly was really there! Personally love the clouds and blue green of this one.

Flows like Water Study, 12" x 12" x 1.5", Wool & Beeswax on Wood Panel, $400 Another favourite from the #harrisonpark series. This tree had poured it's roots over the #escarpment in search of nutrients and seemed to be surviving on rock and water. DM for info or check out my brand new shop on my website! I will be adding work as I sort through my troves of photos and get organized for the holidays. #owensound #niagaraescarpment #roots #rocks #fiberartist #stratfordartists 
Fun holiday mini's! I decided to call these Loopy Pines. Made with Canadian wool from Canada's oldest woolen mill #briggsandlittle and local beeswax. 4" x 6" x 1", $45 #shopstratford #supportlocalartists #woolyloveliveshere 
Sneak peek at one of my 'art in the time of Covid' works. This piece is a record of personal journey for me, marking a return to lost or abandoned pathways - sacred geometry, healing chakras, making art as meditation, manifesting with the moon...so much witchy fun! Thanks to local Steele Wool Farm for the wool, @rusticburlco for the wood panel, Baumann apiaries for the beeswax and @wonky_frog_studio for all of the crystals, emotional support, and raising the vibes. 💖 #treeoflife #canadianfibreartist #handdyedyarn #woolart #theraven #shoplocal 
Day 7 Some days are just like that. 😬#arteverydaymonth2020 
Flutter by Blyth #4, 6" x 6" x 1", Locally raised wool, hand dyed by me using local plants and botanical dyes with local beeswax on wood panel. $200 Another from the Blyth series. Funny how I need time away before I can really see my work, you know? Happy with the colour contrast on this one. These 6 x 6s make great fuzzy gifts. DM to learn more. #canadianartist #fibreartist #fiberart #shoplocal #handmade 
Flutter by Blyth #6, 6" x 6" x 1", Locally raised wool, hand dyed by me using local plants and botanical dyes in Blyth, ON applied with local beeswax on wood panel, $200 Almost entirely Ontario sourced- a long term goal of mine. The subtle colour variations in the hand dyed wool add so much richness. Inspired by the scales on butterfly 🦋 wings, texture is the star of this series. DM for details. Free delivery around #stratfordontario #kitchener #waterloo #naturaldye #woolart #ontarioartist #steelewool #blythontario 
Day 6 of #arteverydaymonth2020 #stars #markerart #doodling 
St. Lawrence Estuary 19:07:17 on August 1, 2018, 8" x 6" x 1", Wool & Beeswax on Wood Panel, $235 One of a series dedicated to a single spectacular sunset over the St. Lawrence as the tide water slowly seeped back in. Grasses are fussy but I love to lose myself in the layers. For any of you knitters out there, this is fingering weight wool, sometimes separated into single ply. Fine work indeed. #stlawrenceriver #stratfordartist #yarnpainting #shopstratford 
Harrison Park in July, 12" x 12" x 2", Wool & Beeswax on Wood Panel, $400 Part of a series created after an epic camping trip to #harrisonpark in #owensound Ontario. Lots of texture and motion in the leaves. Heading into the holidays I will be posting work currently available for purchase, so if something catches your eye or you want to see more, DM me! Free delivery in Stratford, Kitchener/Waterloo, and area. 
Day 5 of #arteverydaymonth2020 I had to stop and get on with my day but these new two tip markers are amazing. I can see that my recent raw turmeric obsession has penetrated my subconscious. 
Is it too early? Holiday prototypes today. #woolyloveliveshere #scrappylittlestars #puttering #kathywhiteart 
Day 4 of #arteverydaymonth2020 #dragonfly #arttherapy #looseningup 
Eye see you. Day 3 #arteverydaymonth2020 
Days 1 & 2 of #arteverydaymonth2020 in the bag (or book more accurately.) Using these 4 x 4s for a little #arttherapy and exploration. Still time to hop on board and fill some of these darker hours with creativity. Thanks to @leah_kolidas for the inspiration! 
We can’t go back to business-as-usual after the #COVID19 pandemic. Business-as-usual meant climate inaction and widespread inequality. That’s why we’re building a movement for a #JustRecoveryforAll that puts people first. Here are the 6 principles that are essential to a #JustRecovery that will allow us to #BuildBackBetter: 1. Put people’s health and wellbeing first, no exceptions. 2. Strengthen the social safety net and provide relief directly to people. 3. Prioritize the needs of workers and communities. 4. Build resilience to prevent future crises. 5. Build solidarity and equity across communities, generations, and borders. 6. Uphold Indigenous rights and work in partnership with Indigenous peoples. Learn more about what you can do at justrecoveryforall.ca If you are in the Stratford area also check out @climatemomentum for a teach in this Thursday. 
Reposted from @factsblyth FACTS is thrilled to give you a sneak peak of some of the new work that will be exhibited in the gallery when we re-open to the public. Flutter By Blyth is a new body of work by fibre artist @kathywhiteart . Inspired by butterflies, Kathy created the wool paintings from resources found within the Blyth community. The wool yarn is from @steelewoolfarm, located just outside of Blyth. Kathy hand dyed at the FACTS natural dyeing workshops. The stunning colours were produced from local plants, flowers and food that were made into dyes. This project is so dear to me as Kathy and I met two years ago have been collaborating ever since on classes, exhibits and dreams for the fibre community in our area. The Flutter By Blyth series is an example of a dream coming true as local resources and workshops inspired Kathy’s creative practice. The series presents a new offering from Kathy’s body of work. Up close the work reveals detailed studies of butterfly wings but when viewed from a distance the little twists of wool offer an inviting illusion of depth. Wool painting is a technique developed by Kathy where she pushes wool into beeswaxed boards with the tip of a chopstick. Kathy’s work is available on our website found in our bio. #localartist #fibreartist #fiberartist #woolpainting #fibreart #fiberart #ontariowool #naturaldye #butterflywings #butterflies #blythnow #huroncounty #localart #ontarioart #canadianart - #regrann 
The forget-me-nots showed me the way. Sending this one out to @vision_pho whose daily walks in her hood looking for a new perspective have kept me company on my own. I've been here a dozen times since March and completely missed this pathway until today. #itsabeautifuldayintheneighbourhood #covidwalks #forgetmenots #stratfordontario 
Holy mackerel, what a sunrise! Can you hear the choir? #sunrise #stratfordontario #morningchorus #toomuchbeautytoholdonto 
I love finding local sources, especially when it helps me to grow artistically as well. Feeling like a kid in a candy shop as I apply turmeric paste to the edge of one of my gorgeous new maple panels from @rusticburlco Round! It feels like a revolution. Also love that the panels are self hanging, so no hardware required. I am hoping the turmeric gives the edge a rich yellow stain and I know I should let it sit but I want to peek. Also thinking we should have curry tonight 😋 #local #stratfordontario #roundart #turmeric #naturaldye 
Blossom season! Sunshine! Balmy weather! This morning deserves exclamation marks. #blueskies #blossom #cirrus #stratfordontario #springtime 
Did you know that Monet painted water lilies more than 250 times? I've been thinking about this on my walks lately. The power of returning to the same place and seeing it differently each time. These willow trees in Stratford are always inspiring but especially gorgeous this morning. #willow #inspiration #sunrise #todayssunrise #stratfordartist #stratfordontario 
Woohoo! Look what arrived this morning to brighten a snowy 🙄 May Monday. This absolutely stunning painting is the work of @lenadv_art who ran a thank you give away. And I am so happy I won. Look at this painting! It reminds me of Van Gogh's quote about there being no blue without orange. So, so perfectly lovely 😍 Thank you so much, Elena. You have brightened my day and I will treasure this beautiful painting forever. #gratitude #joyspotting #kindness #beach #painting #thankyou 
Happy Mother's Day, Mom! 🌷🌷🌷 'Teasles' from 2013 is easily one of my most popular works. I literally couldn't have made it without the support of my mother. The dark brown wool in the teasles is from a skein of a rare breed wool she brought me from the Hebrides. Thanks, Mom! #teasles #happymothersday #hebrideanwool 
So happy I took a sunny 🌞 walk yesterday since we're back to snow today. I couldn't choose just one pic to share so swipe for more. Although I love the old stone bridge too much to condone the street art, there is something poignant about this one. #stratfordontario #photography #streetart #covidart 
4"x 4" x 1", Local wool hand dyed by me on beeswax covered wood panel, Dyer's Chamomile, Walnut, & Woad For some reason, I resisted making one with yellow as the main colour. I had to make myself do it because I have a lot of yellow to use up. Now this is one of my favourites. Huh. Happy Friday! Wait...it is Friday, right? 😉 #whatdayisitagain #yellow #fiberartistsofinstagram #woolartist #botanicalart 
Pretty little fluffy things. 🌸🦋🌾 Creative ideas can come like waves. Sometimes you surf and sometimes you're seized and just have to try to hold on and remember to breathe. Just when I thought this first natural dye wave had left me gasping on the shore, I felt I had to make one more to explore 'blue dots.' I don't know why. I realized after that it kinda closes a circle when you compare it to the first piece. Swipe to see. Both are 4" x 4" x 1", local wool hand dyed by me on beeswax covered wood panel. #stratfordartist #stratfordontario #woolpainting #handdyedyarn #kathywhiteart #muse #artistsofinstagram 
How can I have all of these and still never have the right needle? #knitterfrustration Do you remember buying CD versions of your tapes? And then digital versions of your CDs? Okay, probably a lot of you don't... anyway, I have resisted buying a set of interchangeable needles for so long but it is looking inevitable. Did you make the change to interchangeables? Do you like them? #knittersofinstagram #knitting #needleenvy #nowwhatamigoingtoknit #interchangeable #knittingneedles 
#6 Flutter by Blyth natural dye series, 6" x 6" x 1", Local wool hand dyed by me on beeswax covered wood panel. Walnut, woad, logwood, madder, and the pale apricot is a flower but can't remember which. My new word of the day is 'divisionism', which sounds politically nasty but is actually about the separation of colour into dots which interact optically. So painting dots of blue and yellow instead of mixing them to paint green directly. #georgeseurat called it 'chromoluminarism' which is just an awesome word, and that is what I am going to call it while I see what happens if I apply it to my wool #pointillism experiments. #wordoftheday #chromoluminarism #thenextbigadventure #needmorewool #kathywhiteart 
#4 Flutter by Blyth natural dye series, 6" x 6" x 1", Local wool hand dyed by me on beeswax covered wood panel. I was way too excited by the dye results to keep proper records, so I have to guess that this is logwood, cochineal, Dyer's chamomile, and hmmm.. not sure about the bright saffron colour. #fiberart #joyspotting #naturaldye #followyourbliss #spring 
#8 in the Flutter by Blyth natural dye series. 10" x 10" x 2", Steele Wool farms wool, hand dyed by me with plants from Blyth and applied to wood panel coated with beeswax (from Millbank.). #stratfordartist #huronperth #texture #organic #naturalart #local 
Just found this stop motion video I made five years ago. I am often asked about the order of applying yarn and this shows it better than I can explain. Also thought the blossoms are timely.🌸 For anyone with a kit at home, I made this on a 5 x 7 just like yours. You can make your own cherry blossom orchard by following along. Want to get your hands on a kit? See @factsblyth for details. Happy May Day! #cherryblossom #fiberart #factsblyth #kathywhiteart #stopmotion #artprocess #howto 
Sneak peek at some very special work I will be dropping off to @factsblyth today. Swipe to see the very first piece I decided I simply could not sell because I like it too much. 😄 I'll take it as a sign of progress. I love the story behind this work - sheep from Blyth, dye plants from Blyth, inspiration from Blyth. More on that coming up. Want to get your hands on one of these truly unique works? Keep an eye on www.factsblyth.ca or see @factsblyth for details. Did anyone else read Joyful by @aestheticsofjoy ? Fairly sure I was channelling some of what I learned there into this work. #pointillism #botanicaldye #handmade #ontarioartist #supportlocal #fibreart #yarnpainting #butterfly #joyspotting #joyful 
Ummm...😬... guessing this is what the inside of my head looks like. Pretty busy. More pink than I expected. Also more cosmic. 🌠 Happy Monday! #intuitiveart #arttherapy #creative #wool #beeswax #covidart 
Things I am grateful for this morning: 1. I won a gorgeous painting by @lenadv_art ! It is lovely 😍 and I will treasure it always. Thanks, Lena! 2. My yarn painting kits are now available online at www.factsblyth.ca . @jtjcostume has been working hard to get the online gallery going and it looks great. The kits make great gifts for all ages and we could all use some creative play 😉 3. Speakingof creative play, I am back at my intuitive/therapeutic/not sure what is going on here piece. Yesterday I was reflecting on the fact that I have been so concerned with making sure I was 'working' as an artist that I forgot to play as an artist too. Grateful for this chance to remember. 4. Sunshine 🌞🌻 5. You. Thanks for following 👍 
So I made a bunch of smalls with the naturally dyed wool from two summer workshops with @factsblyth I honestly did not expect them to be so vibrant. @jtjcostume asked me for some butterfly inspired work and this is the end result. Painting in the background is some of my older work. #naturaldye #wool #canadianartist #beeswax #yarnpainting #kathywhiteart 
Normally I try to hide my messy bits. Here's me practising radical honesty. 🙄 That is the contents of my scrap bag spilled across my work table in the lower left. Yes, there are half knitted and never frogged items in it. Now you know everything, I swear. #knitting #scrapbag #ihatefrogging #lettingitallhangout 
I guess this one is about letting go of the finished product. Showing up each day with a fresh perspective and trying to capture all of those days separately but together. Watching myself make art. Yesterday I really wanted to come up with a plan for the piece. You know - so that it will'look good.' 😆 Look how tight those red flowers are! #covidart #arttherapy #intuitiveart #artprocess #woolart #stashbusting #zerowasteart #kathywhiteart 
Curiouser and curiouser. I wonder what's going to happen next. 🐰 #fiberart #howdoifeel #playtherapy #repetitivethoughts #makeuglyart #goingoutonalimb #femaleartist 
And now for something completely different... embracing chaos. Working title - 'I am both glorious and wretched.' More to come. #arttherapy #fibreart #yarn #beeswax #yarnpainting #canadianartist #wipart #intuitiveart 
It's a Maxfield Parrish kind of morning. 😍 #parrishblue #parrish #myfingersarenumb #dawn #sunrisephotography #stratfordon #differenteveryday 
Good morning, Stratford! Robins, rabbits, & woodpeckers this morning despite the frost. It is a beautiful day. #springfever #sunrise #stratfordon #morningwalk #offpeaktimes 
Detail, Gratitude for Abundance, 60 cm x 122 cm, Wool & Beeswax on Masonite, 2016 Thanks to @southcoastguesthouse who says you can't be angry and grateful at the same time, I am counting my blessings this morning.😁 I created Gratitude for Abundance in a flurry of good feeling one spring and it still reminds me of all there is to be grateful for. #yarnpainting #textileart #fiberart #wool #beeswax #canadianartist #goldfinch #appletree #greenapples #analagouscolors #yellowgreenblue 
Sunrise in Stratford, ON with a random act of kindness! Thank you to whoever painted this rock with a hopeful message & left it on the bridge. Swipe for a close up. 🧡 I also realized this morning that some of the best sunrise scenes can be discovered by turning away from the sun. Feel like there's a metaphor in there somewhere.🤔 #randomactsofkindness #sunrise #stratfordon #ilovemypark 
The Wood between the Worlds? There's a place in the park that turns into tall tall trees reflected in small, deep puddles in the spring. Maybe it's the lamp posts, but I find myself thinking about Narnia and looking for guinea pigs tied with rings and ribbon. Too early this morning to get the right shot but I'll be back.🌳 #stratfordontario #narnia #sunrise #cslewis #dontletJadistouchyou 
Do you ever feel like you're on a bleak path? Just kidding. The fresh air this morning was invigorating despite the rain and another grey sunrise. ☔ #comeonspring #springrain #walkingintherain 
Sunrise in Stratford, ON. All of these grey dawns are forcing me to look for colour. Robins & rain this morning. #dawn #lookingforbeauty #cabinfever #needmoresleep #physicaldistancing 
Today's sunrise in Stratford, ON. These geese insisted I take their photo & struck several fetching poses before moving on. I think they're missing their admirers. #canadageese #stratfordontario #dawn #sunrisephotography #offpeaktimes

'The Depths of Thyme', 4"x 4", 2018, Wool & Beeswax on wood panel I missed the sunrise today, so here is one of the pieces made during my residency at @kingsbraeartscentre in 2018. It might be small, but I have been thinking about it a lot lately. Something about the texture... This piece was also a favourite of the fabulous @iamjacquisymons, one of the great group who shared the residency & she mentioned that if I ever made one just like it...I never did, Jacqui, but it has inspired some new work that I think you'll like & might find its way to you eventually.😘 Love to all of the KIRA group - @cheminhsiaoart @annemagratten @jeremythomasgilmer - hope you are all safe and well. #fibreart #fiberart #yarnpainting #kingsbrae #beeswax #wool #canadianartist #instalove

Hey it's Kathy. I don't get personal here often but Yoga With Adriene has made a huge improvement in the quality of my life - for free! - and I hope it can help you too. Two years ago the YWA team started putting together monthly themed playlists for their yoga videos and I was able to establish a daily home yoga practice after 20 years of trying unsuccessfully. I am so grateful to them for providing me with the tools that allow me greater wellbeing mentally, physically and spiritually. Each January since 2015, YWA puts out a 30 day program and each one is better than the last. This is not pretzel yoga. It is exactly what you need wrapped up in a healthy dose of love and a nudge to treating yourself a little better. No matter what your physical abilities, there is something here for everyone. So, hopefully I've inspired you to at least check it out. I promise you that it is one of those rare things that is even better than you expected. ✌😘 Wishing you all warmth and joy! Kathy 
Look what Donna made at the workshop she hosted for the Grand River Fibre Artists! The frame is a thrift shop upcycle too.
