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…
Read MoreA 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…
Read MoreBy Jove I think I’ve got it.
Had quite a bit of fun with my camera and tripod the other day. I am photographing outside right now, so the one big challenge was that my nose got redder and redder from the cold as my little photo session went on. Good thing for photoshop. Not only did I get rid of the…
Read MoreA great discovery
One part of my self written job description is to browse the web and look at other people’s blogs. It’s quite hard to convince Tony that I am really working, but I assure you I am. Yesterday I came across Helen Dardik’s blog. Which of course led me to her etsy site, orange studio and…

It seems that Dusty is a chip off the old block or maybe that’s chip off the old block head. I think he designed quite the alien head piece. After our millinery session we went to the Lunenburg Community Centre. On Sundays the gym is open for kids between 12:30-2:30. For a $5 donation kids…
Read MoreThe Neighbourhood
We have about one month to go before we move into our new home. I think the thing I’m looking forward to most is our new/old neighbourhood. A while back I was with Dusty and we were walking by there and he announced that he was thirsty, in that “I can’t go on” sort of…
Read MoreDusty and the Fire Hat
This year, despite being ridiculously busy around the holidays, I decided that nothing was too good for my little boy. I was going to make him the ultimate hand felted hat. Some facts about Dusty, His favourite colour is red. This is because, Akkar, the coolest Bionicle is red. He adores all things powerful that…
Read MoreColour Confusion
This painting thing is kind of overwhelming. I’m not even doing any work, but choosing these colours is quite the workout. I thought I had it down. Summer Lime in the dining room/living room and butter in the kitchen, but I went to look at it today and for one it seems that they are…
Read MoreGingerbread houses and other frivolities
My days have been filled with joyful uselessness. I had big plans of painting our new house, but every time I was just about to head over there it seemed crucial that I make a felted pumpkin or something like that. Dusty and I and my friend Katja with her daughter Lilly spent a day…
Read MoreA perfect ending
Today was the perfect ending to a wonderful hat season. The Hubbards Market was super busy and I sold lots of hats. It was beyond cold in that beautiful barn, but people came out to support their local market. I’m a terrible chicken when it comes to driving in the snow, so when I woke…
