I have been working on these pieces for over a year! If you are in Ottawa I hope that you stop by!

[UpcycleTexStyle @UpcycleTexStyle]

Guess what #Ottawa I will be at the market on Main Street this Saturday! I will have everything on my website available and some additional pieces too! Come by and visit!

@MeaghanDerynck Ed has a nightmare/hysterical tale of the time the wind *really* picked up when he was solo canoeing without that weight.

We (our whole family) did this a few months ago. And it was excellent. Honestly, the best online training course I have ever taken.

Recommended for both adults and teens. If you have not had a chance to take this free class - you should. Well worth your time.

Many thanks to Tara Hogeterp for taking the time to talk to the Arts and Crafts class about Fabric Recycling. @UpcycleTexStyle Stay turned to see the fabulous textile art the class is creating! #ocdsb

@KarlBelanger We were at St. Louis wings. A request from the birthday kiddo. Want something better for next time.

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

@KarlBelanger can you tell me what the best place to get wings in the Ottawa area is? Ideally with local beers.

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

@KarlBelanger Thanks. Where we ended up was not great, and wanted a better option for next time.

The best pizza in the world is leftover German chicken doner on pizza with garlic oil, red pepper, mozzarella and doner sauce for dipping. This is the hill I will die on. There are no photos...it was too good.

@b0bcaygeon @tomflood1 So @tomflood1 ... suggestion for future t-shirts how about one that says sharrows (= with a slash through it) infrastructure - red t-shirt with white writing.

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

Cycling infrastructure shirts?? Yes please!

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

Don't let the ✂️ fool you. I 💯% used a rotary cutter.

[UpcycleTexStyle @UpcycleTexStyle]

How it started... And how it's going.
There was a lot of cutting ✂️✂️✂️ but all the salvageable denim is ready for projects and the remnants ready for poofs. #jeans #upcycle

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

This was a perfect job while watching tv...

[UpcycleTexStyle @UpcycleTexStyle]

When moths attack... Add colour and you have a fun new sweater! I really love how this turned out!

[Tara Hogeterp @tarahogeterp]

I have spent so many hours cutting denim!

[UpcycleTexStyle @UpcycleTexStyle]

Mountain of denim! Someone gave me a bin of light denim & sadly a lot of it is in bad shape (stained). My job this weekend is to cut away the good parts for it's future as a quilt back! The remainder will be stuffing for poofs! #zerowaste #denim
