Amelia Rose
Amelia Rose is one of my sillier hats, but I love her. You can’t quite see it in this photo, but the flower is enormous. As in, stands out a couple of inches away from the head. I had started by trying to make a polar fleece fascinator, which is quite a silly concept in…
I have a confession to make. I hate doing craft shows. I’m not a fan of crowds and being something of a control freak, I find it difficult to control my hats when faced with thousands of curious people. Children with food, adults with coffee, free chocolate samples at the next booth over before reaching…
Annique
This little charmer here is Annique. I can make her in so many different colours.
You’ll be hearing from me a little more often now.
Just made the crazy discovery that so many of the photos I have uploaded onto facebook have just plum disappeared. So, I will be posting lots of my creations here from now on. This is my latest wet felted hat and was photographed by the ever so talented Maddy Kendall. www.madeleinekendall.com
More Talent in Lunenburg
Fall is in its full splendor in Lunenburg. Every morning I walk the dog and marvel at the beauty of this amazing town I live in. I also marvel at my inability to capture it in my photos. Well, lucky me. I have joined forces with one talented lady that lives right here. Her name…
My Aimless Walk
I will begin this blog post with a hat and the adorable Andrienne from Quebec City who bought it from me, but that is just because she is so damn cute and I had to put her on here, somewhere. The real reason I am writing this post is to tell you about the great…
Taking a Breath
Today I did something I have been dreaming of doing for months. I hung the closed sign up in my brain. I have been filling non stop orders and I finally got to the end of a list. These hats were part of a 62 hat order heading out to Beauchapeau Hat Shop in Niagara…
Customer Appreciation Day
I’m having one of those female highly emotional days. Ya, you know what I mean. I’m just sitting here blubbering and thinking about how much I love my customers. I have also been crying over dog food commercials, but still, the feeling is real. The thing is, sometimes I get these great little pats on…
The Making of a Wet Felted Hat
I love this hat and fortunately, I love my aunt, who I made it for even more. Making this sort of hat is a small act of insanity. There is no measuring the hours. I had to stop calculating somewhere after 3 days. Wet felting is a process I truly love and the clock just…
Heidi’s Photos
Here we are in January. Not sure how that happened. I often have things I want to share with you, but then I have to make a choice between cooking dinner, cleaning the bathroom or blogging and sometimes I just have to do the “grown up” thing. After all, next week I will be 46…
