My dance With the Sander
I am finally making a useful citizen of myself. Tony pointed out to me that if I didn’t spend several hours a day on flickr and etsy and looking at blogs that I might actually have a little time to help out at the house. O.K. guilty as charged. So for the past few days…
Happy Valentines Day
Here’s to the loves of my life. Hope I can take this picture again in 5 years.
Thanks to Art of The Moment
Just wanted to say thanks to Amy from Art of The Moment in New Brunswick for doing a feature on me on her blog. Seems that the Maritimes is just flooded with talent. Check out her beautiful blog by clicking on her tree frog key chain. Also just listed another summer linen cloche on etsy.…
The Overrated Letter L
My son, Dusty, was born articulate. Honestly, I’m not being an insufferably proud mom or if I am it’s still true. He’s a little fat head. He can’t help himself he’s the five year old village elder. He loves language and therefore tries to make his sentences as long and winded as possible. The more…
A slightly different angle

Not so long ago I used to peddle my wares door to door in any town I happened to visit, but as my hats became more popular it became impossible to sell the hats and make the hats. Now I have the most wonderful Sales Rep in Toronto, Doreen Smith of Instyle design. It is…
Amelia Rose
I have been having so much fun designing for next year’s fall line. I gave myself the challenge of coming up with a fleece fascinator. The thing is that fleece is so practical and fascinators have nothing at all to do with practicality. So, this is what I came up with. I have taken some…
A Perfect Birthday.
At my age the thing I want to do most on my birthday is nothing. It was an entirely successful day. Slept in with the help of Tony who got Dusty off to the bus. Lounged around and drank coffee. Made a mess without cleaning it up. Then I headed off to the spa for…
