Birthday Week

April 22, 2011

Seven Years ago today at 7:19 a.m, my little Dusty was evicted from my belly. After 9 1/2 months, 36 hours of hard labor and enough pitosin to induce triplets, Dusty held on to his Mama with impressive tenacity. They eventually had to pry him from my womb by way of the knife. The cord…

Revisiting a Former Self

April 11, 2011

I just finished a wholesale order for one of my favourite customers, Beauchapeau in Niagara on the Lake. I was asked to make a particular straw hat and trim it any way I like. Music to my ears. I took a trip down memory lane to a former ultra romantic self and had a marvelous…

My Garden Grows

There will be no trips to tropical islands this year, but at least while I am upstairs in my studio sewing away with my new fabulous organic summer fabrics, I can be sipping Pina Coladas under a palm tree in my mind.I have started designing my new…

We got it Too!

February 3, 2011

Finally! After hearing about the impressive snow fall just about everywhere except Lunenburg, I was really feeling left out. What’s winter without snow? Well, here it is. Because our driveway is so close to our neighbour’s, we have nowhere to pile the snow except the front of the house. There are two little creatures that…

The Girl Next Door

January 19, 2011

This is truly amazing. I have been wishing for a model for some time. It is just so hard to coordinate times. If only there was a beautiful woman next door. All I had to do was open my eyes and behold there is Hayley, beautiful mom to Thomas and Luke. Two doors down. We…
