ZERO-WASTE LIVING
Craftivist and Visible Mending provide comfort at home, on our off-the-grid homestead, while traveling. Frugality takes form in my DNA as finding value and comfort in everything experience. Our summers are spent off-the-grid at our homestead near Algonquin Park, Ontario, Canada raising chickens, bees, and practicing permaculture. Winters are spent traveling and enjoying the comfort of visiting favorite locations and discovering new beautiful destinations. The rest of our time is rooted in our wee townhouse in the city of Mississauga (near Toronto) where we've lived for over 38 years. The common thread is comfort & curiosity. Zero-waste textile art provides comfort and familiarity in the softness of creating unconventional art quilts and untangling skeins of yarn for wearable art. My art practice, like my children, have roots and wings. My gratitude is abundant for the art galleries & councils that support my creative practice. The comfort & curiosity of travel & researching sustainable travel experiences for myself or others resurfaced in 2024 leading to reviving my skills and credentials as a travel professional. The symbiotic nature of my world merged & I'm happy.

Thank you for this! Just showed my almost 2yr old, as he saw someone spinning on a wheel recently and has been talking about it a lot, and in one of his books there is a character spinning with a drop spindle so he was asking how. I didn't know, but now we do!

[@SandraClarke]

Thanks for writing. Easy to make and not expensive. I bought my spindle supplies from a wood toy company. S

[@stellahickey6992]

Maybe we will try spinning some of our late dogs undercoat in the future! I bet he'd enjoy that. (We saved it like the other commenter 😂)

[@beckyray6527]

What book were you reading that had a character spinning with a drop spindle? I would love to introduce this to my kids with a book!

[@darlenehoover6577]

I shaved my dog and wanted to keep her hair. I remembered seeing women hand spinning and was so glad I found your video. 🙂👍

[@brennatheelvenqueen5576]

That was a great informative video! You are very easy to listen to a nice voice and cadence! Thank you!

[@royashworth1737]

What a great demonstration. Love it!

[@christophercedillo8026]

Thank you. I don't know anything about any of this. I'm just starting to figure out how to spin my dog's hair into yarn. (I have years of his brushings.) I was going to pay to have it done, but with the pandemic, I don't have money, but I do have plenty of time, so I figured I'd at least look into how to do it myself. Your video is outstanding. I can see everything clearly, your instructions are clear, direct, totally understandable. You anticipate questions. I love the history lesson part too. You're a really, really good teacher. Brava.

[@RavenCT42]

Wondering if you ever succeeded? I just realized I really want a cat made out of my cats fur. (Long haired indoor cats with gorgeous fur). lol

Hi, Thankyou so much for posting this. You've only just popped up on my feed. I got some Drop Spindle Kits for Christmas & today found myself getting frustrated with it. You have helped me enormously. So a Big Thankyou. Happy Spinning. Take care & stay safe. From England xx

[@njtomboy]

Lol at the mower. It was like they knew. Anywho, thank you❣️

[@Pr3stss]

Thank you for the lesson!!!

[@jsmith3980]

Great thank you Sandra for posting.I'm going to start doing this!

[@LithiumCaryn]

This was really helpful.

[@masterachannel1190]

Thank you so much.

[@Rensremedies]

Hahah that dang lawn mower!

[@SandraClarke]

I know right. I should make a new video. Cheers Sandra

[@3mfuqua]

@@SandraClarke No, the lawnmower was the perfect ending and you stayed so calm! Thanks for the video.

[@ProfessorShanku]

@@3mfuqua The lawn mower symbolised the sound of industrialisation that over-shadowed the home based textile production in t he 18th century.

[@jsmith3980]

I love this too!
