The Summer of the Slug
Hello from the end of summer. I think we had a summer. I remember something about an extreme heat wave and then crazy forest fires and people praying for rain…which we got…and got…and got. I then remember watching videos of Beavers swimming down the Bedford highway and an absence of roads and a run on…

Read MoreFluffy Clouds and Scrappy Sundays.
Whew, I finally made it back here. It has been a whirlwind of a month. I kept trying to get some hats made to tell you about and then before I could sit down and start typing they would sell. I have been particularly delighted that my hand knit and felted hats have been finding…
Read MoreWarm Headbands For an Autumn Day
Last week I was afraid that the leaves would forget to turn. I think I have a little bit of faith deficiency syndrome. Autumn is my favourite season. I find the colours are so rich and the light is magical. All the hand knits come out, the pie baking begins and Lego and I can…
