Read MoreIntroducing Elsie
Sometimes the new hat design muse dances into my studio, completely uninterested in how busy I am. I try, very diplomatically, I think, to shoo her out the door, explaining that the Christmas season is really not the best time to explore new hat possibilities. Might she come back in February when I am caught…

Hello, hello and hello. Three hellos for the the 3 months since I last spoke to you through my favourite writing vehicle… mea culpa.

Read MoreGlorious Spring and a Video to Prove it.
Hello from the prettiest time of year when green is queen. I am positively tripping on the colours around me right now. I made another short video to share the love. If the colours of Spring are not enough to entice you to watch, then maybe the colours of some of my naturally dyed fabrics…

I’m not sure how many times you kind people will allow me to keep talking about the same subject, but this is what keeps me up at night. Textile Waste. Before I go madly off on a tangent (I’ll try to keep it short) I present you with one of my local solutions…a fabric flower…
Read MoreSpring’s Eternal Hope
The saying goes, Hope springs eternal, but I prefer Spring’s eternal hope. For the past week I have begun each morning in the garden, moving raspberry bushes, weeding the strawberries, contemplating the deer fence that the wind took down, conversing with the birds and dreaming…. …dreaming of a yard full of flowers and vegetables and…
