The Insanity Continues
It’s been really hard to write lately because I’ve been so busy that I feel as though I’ve lost my short term memory. I’ve caught myself trying to make my coffee with a plate instead of a coffee filter. When I mean to turn the faucet on I turn the toothbrush. I wish I was…
a new obsession, straw braiding
You can tell I’m busy when the length between posts increases. I’m trying hard to not panic. I have seven stores due in 2 weeks, plus the etsy orders keep coming. I keep trying to remind myself that this a good problem to have. I work constantly. Anywhere I go I bring ribbon with me…
The Adventure Continues
It’s been just over three weeks since we arrived here in Nova Scotia. I’m still thrilled with the beauty and friendliness. Dusty continues to establish himself as a regular about town. He is particularly fond of the library these days. It’s a great place. They have no overdue fines. They also gave Dusty a little…

The countdown to Nova Scotia has begun. Are we really doing this? How crazy busy can one person be? I have found a wonderful new sales rep in Toronto. I’m quite excited about expanding my line to more stores in Canada. I couldn’t figure out why my new canadian stores wanted their winter hats in…
Truly Amazing
There have been many truly amazing things going on this week. In the hat world I feel like a rock star. The orders just kept coming this week. Tony, my husband, would ask me in the morning if I sold any hats in my sleep. This is a dream come true for me. To be…
Bound for Nova Scotia
Hello again, I mentioned a couple of entries ago that we are bound for Nova Scotia. The big move is only about six weeks away. I am in some sort of stupified denial stage, similar in feeling to being nine months pregnant. I hear your question. Wow, why? Because of a job? No. Do you…
Chef Dusty
People often ask me if I make hats for men or boys. The answer is not usually because they are just not that fun. Basically, my true joy in making a hat is when I get to the details part, the icing on the cake. There is, however, an exception to my rule and that…
My Studio
Well, the time has arrived to reveal the room behind the madness. It is located next to my 4 year old son, Dusty’s room. It is very small. And thanks to some great shelving built by my favorite (and only) husband, Tony, it holds a whole lot of stuff. Probably too much stuff, but just…
