Join podcaster and blogger, firefly, and her furry co-host Charlie for a cozy solo episode of firefly's Hatful of Yarns! In this heartfelt session, firefly kicks things off with a reading of her latest I Love on a Farm blog post, “Out and about with Charlie boy”. 

Then, she dives into a reflective chat about her creative journey—sharing how she tamed her overactive creative yearnings by focusing on her top passions, from writing and oil painting to growing dahlias and crafting sola wood floral arrangements. 

Along the way, firefly opens up about a poignant memory of a handmade leather satchel gift gone awry, updates listeners on her current projects—like reworking a lovely knitting pattern and dyeing a dreamy colorway for a large yarn order—and shares her excitement for an upcoming wedding floral gig. 

Grab your favorite cuppa and settle in for a colorful unraveling of firefly’s creative yarns!
