Think Pink

Hello from pretty and chilly Lunenburg. Hope the world is beginning to feel festive wherever you are. I have been cozily tucked away in my little doll house (aka my studio) making hats. As you probably know by now, I have been obsessed with wool and all its miraculous properties. I have also metaphorically fallen…

My Quest to Slow Down Time and lots of Slow Hats

Hello, hello. It’s been so long since I have had the time to properly chat with you. Time has a way of getting away from us, doesn’t it? I have been digging my heels in the ground, valiantly trying to slow the world down, but I guess it’s true what they say…time waits for no…
