It Never Gets Old
Yesterday this guy was right outside my window. Yes, I do spend a lot of time staring out the window. By the time I got my camera he was a little further away. I know , deer are everywhere and they are a menace to all backyard vegetation, but I can’t help it I think…
Read MoreRe: Treat
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…

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 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 Outside
The house is coming along great (other than the shock of the price of faucets). Thought you might like to see some photos of the outside. The condition of the paint is a little scary and because we have decided that the inside comes first it might look like this for a while. We have…
Read MoreA Little Fun
With a sick child (who is much better by the way) and after finishing what felt like a gazillion wholesale orders (no complaints here) a girl needs to do something just plain fun. That’s what felting is for me. Yesterday I made a new fascinator/cocktail hat. I’m off to post it on etsy. The next…

Things are calming down around here. I am now finishing up some small, manageable orders and going into hyper mommy mode. My evenings are spent making a dragon costume for Dusty. Oh, sorry, that’s FIRE BREATHING DRAGON costume. The tail is really impressive. Now that I actually have time to think I have started thinking.…
Read MoreA Light at the end of the Tunnel
I am actually seeing an end to the orders. Well, hopefully not the end end, but an end to the complete madness. I am really looking forward to cleaning my studio. I will have to photograph it before I do so that I can shatter any ideas of being a together person. Every time I…
