My Garden Grows

March 27, 2011

This flower is the only thing that cheers me up. The sky is perfectly blue and the sun is bright. Everything beckons me outside to soak up the warm spring air. I open the door and…… BAM! A blast of hateful cold air hits me in the face. The wind threatens to take away my…

Almost one year ago I found the most wonderful assistant. Her name is Lisa and clearly she is as beautiful as she is talented. Here she is modeling my Olivia fascinator. You can click here to see the listing on etsy.

Spring Fever

It’s cold, but sunny here in Nova Scotia. Not quite pansy time yet. But these little beauties from my organic sewing garden can withstand the cold while singing out SPRING!!My new pansy fascinators are made from organic hemp and cotton jersey and are mounted on a wire headband, wrapped with the same jersey fabric.

We got it Too!

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…

I love Halifax

January 16, 2011

Yesterday I set up my wares at the Halifax Market again. I had only one goal and that was to get there alive. I’m on the road at 4:30 a.m and the thought of being pried out of bed in the middle of the night and then driving for an hour and a quarter always…

I needed that.

Just got back from visiting family in Maine. It was just what the doctor ordered- no work for 5 days, lazing around whilst drinking wine, stuffing my face with delicious food and playing in the snow. I almost feel normal. Enjoy the photos and Happy New Year.

I had the honour of making this blue merino felt hat for my favourite neighbour’s daughter in law. It’s the same as the yellow hat from the last post. I couldn’t have a lovelier model.
