Back to Maine
Happy New Year everyone. There was something of a reunion at Tony’s sister’s house in Maine over New Year’s. It’s a long weekend of family and gluttony. Amy’s house is so beautiful and cozy that no one ever really wants to leave. Dusty was in heaven, sorrounded by doting aunts and uncles and most of…
Read MoreA Castle For a Prince
Tony was inspired this year and made Dusty a castle bed for Christmas. The challenge- assemble it while Dusty is sleeping in our bed on Christmas eve and transfer the sleeping prince into it so that he wakes up in his new kingdom. Tony rose to the challenge. There were some extra expletives when he…

Last weekend was the Halifax Crafter’s show. I met many wonderful new and old customers and also spent a fair amount of time salivating over the work of the other artists. It’s one of the nicest shows I have ever seen. People lined up to get in when the show opened and it was still…

Read MoreHappy Halloween
When I signed up for this motherhood deal I had no idea of the magnitude and importance of Halloween. This here is my Frankenstein monster. There are many similarities between him and a boy called Dusty. Yes, I do go a little overboard with his costumes, but that is to make up for all the…
Read MoreA Little Escape
I haven’ been writing much lately because I have been busy trying to get those wholesale orders out. It has been quite nice hiding away in my studio making hats, but sometimes I just dream of making something beautiful, impractical and that loses money in every way. So, with that in mind, I took the…

Remember that adorable little girl in my hat from the last post. Well, It seems the whole family is into hats. This here is Feather. I do have to admit she looks really good in it.

This lovely lady just embodied this pink organic jersey headband. It called out to her and she listened.
