Snow Day
Today was Dusty’s first official snow day from school. I’m afraid these snow photos are actually from the impressive snow that we got two weeks ago, but hey it’s still snow. I am once again in the throws of moving. This time around I have chosen denial as my modus operandi. I highly recommend it.…
Lunenburg winter market
This past Thursday I set my wares up at our local winter farmer’s market. I must say it was so nice to be selling to people whose faces I could see and who were actually my neighbours. Don’t get me wrong. Selling over the internet is an amazing phenomena and through etsy it has even…
Moving Again
We got an offer that we just couldn’t pass up. We are moving up the street, a five minute walk away (although straight up hill) To this incredible arts and crafts house with 3 bedrooms, a studio, tons of storage space and a beautiful porch overlooking the harbour for very reasonable rent. I think we…
Lunenburg
Very big day here. I realize there’s a historical election going on right now, but that pales to the news that Dusty took the school bus to school for the first time today. I tried not to cry I really did. Dusty couldn’t have been more excited he even got himself dressed. (unheard of from…
A beautiful Bride
Sometimes it’s just great to take a break from the madness of production and deadlines to create something unique and beautiful for someone unique and beautiful.

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…
