Yuletide cheer.

November 23, 2011

My mind is slowly turning to shopping. Seems to be hardwired in the DNA for late November. This weekend I will be at the Hubbard’s Christmas Market and the following weekend I will be doing the Yuletide Cheer show put on by Halifax Crafters. I’m super excited about this one because the other artists are…

Meeting Wonderful Customers

November 13, 2011

This leopard print felt hat went to the best head possible. I don’t think Audrey will mind me telling you that she recently underwent brain surgery. Although she has a beautiful bald head, she was in need of a hat. I loved meeting her and was amazed at her smiley positive look on life. She…

Toronto Greetings

November 8, 2011

We just got home last night from our trip to visit my family in Toronto. This is the tree where I spent my childhood. It has lost a few of the lower limbs. I like to think that if they were still there I could have climbed up without the help of this ladder. We…

Happy Halloween

October 31, 2011

When I signed up for this motherhood deal I had no idea of the magnitude and importance of Halloween. This here is my Frankenstein monster. There are many similarities between him and a boy called Dusty. Yes, I do go a little overboard with his costumes, but that is to make up for all the…

A Little Escape

October 16, 2011

I haven’ been writing much lately because I have been busy trying to get those wholesale orders out. It has been quite nice hiding away in my studio making hats, but sometimes I just dream of making something beautiful, impractical and that loses money in every way. So, with that in mind, I took the…

The Best Model Ever

September 21, 2011

Remember that adorable little girl in my hat from the last post. Well, It seems the whole family is into hats. This here is Feather. I do have to admit she looks really good in it.

So Long Summer

September 11, 2011

The Mornings here are consistently cool and crisp. Summer is heading out and fall is heading in. This photo was sent to me by a customer whose beautiful daughter is a hat junkie in training. I’ll write more when I get through my mound of wholesale orders and can come up for air.

Pretty in Pink

August 22, 2011

This lovely lady just embodied this pink organic jersey headband. It called out to her and she listened.

I Miss This Hat

August 12, 2011

I just came across this photo of one of my merino wool wet felted hats. I love making them, but as they take forever and a day, I don’t get to make too many of them. They never stay with me for long. This one lives in Montreal with its owner.

The One That got Away

August 11, 2011

Hat land has been so incredibly busy these days. I don’t know if it’s princess Kate or the article in The Chronicle Herald, but I can hardly keep up with the demand. Yesterday I finished this Millie Hat. I was so loving this new colour combo of moss green and dark brown. Thought I’d get…
