Sometimes you get be a part of something truly magic! Our first ever Mountain Stitch Retreat was filled up with everything that we had hoped for ā¦and more. A fantastic mix of stitchers of all stages and all ages. Hailing from Fernie, Cranbrook, Creston and further afield feom Lethbridge and Golden, we all met new friends, learned new tricks ate like queens and created plenty of inside jokes to last us till the next time.. a huge, thank you goes out to these wonderful supporters and generous sponsors: @chemisfree.yarn@happyholmesfibrearts@thechopsticktruck@fernieforge@colourfulewe
With hearts overflowing -Marissa and I want to thank all who came and made this little dream come true! @stitchedbymarissa@radishandpatch
āConsuoā verb. Latin.
Stitch by stitch.
To patch.
To mend.
To devise.
Sometimes you need a reminder that tiny steps are really the only ones to make progress. That hurry is generally not a great speed. That more is sometimes just too much. Itās a message I often need to steep myself in.
So today- I got myself a permanent reminder. And the best part: my dear friend Erin and I schemed to do this together!!! We had a grand time of it-Ask us about it all next time you see us!
*****swipe to the end to see a short book that I highly recommended. It brings some order to the ongoing chaos. Iād love to hear what you think of it!

Elk lakes has the best otherworldly reflections!
šØ.
Thereās something special about immersing yourself in a landscape in all kinds of weather, getting to know the area and each other without external distractions. 8 of us gathered at Elk lakes hut last week to unplug and create.
šØ.
We hiked, painted, shared meals and birthday cake, plus broke out the ukulele, guitar and songbook every evening! So fun! We had the park to ourselves, except for the howling wolves and a really chubby porcupine. The sweet huckleberries were still plentiful and eaten by the handful at a time.

For almost 5 years Clawhammer Press has been without a stable retail option in downtown Fernie. Iām excited to announce that the @fernieartscoop has accepted me (back) as a place to display my prints alongside my partner in all things @radishandpatch starting now. I have to figure out the best way to get everything organized there, but we actually got quite a number of prints thereāsome framed and some unframedāincluding my new Natural Geometry series, along with some local fernie-centric stuff. Looking forward to rolling with all yāall at the Co-op.

Whenever you can give back to your community I hope you take the opportunity to do so.
Spend a few extra šµšµ and grab some non perishable items in your next grocery trip and donate to your local food bank (Look and see what items they are in need of most).

Thank you so much @huckleberrybookstore and other local shops (tagged in video) for the amazing door prize.
