A Hat Making Workshop and Lots of New Hats
Hello, hello! I have so many hats to show you, but before I do I have some exciting news to share with you…..I will be teaching my first workshop, here in my little studio. I am also working on creating online workshops, but this will take some (a lot of) time. If you live nearby…

Hello from deep within an unruly pile of fabric scraps. It is the time of year when my accumulated fabric scraps threaten to take over the world, or at least my studio. I have been fighting back and slowly…very slowly, turning them into hats. I have managed to make a grand total of three scrappy…

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope you are all recovering from a few weeks of too much sugar, fat, flour and general slovenliness. I know I am. January always brings new direction for me and this year my thoughts and goals are with adding some teaching to my life. I have been finding myself…

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…

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…

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…

Finally, the weather is cooling down. The hand knit sweater collection is coming out of the drawers fast and furious. Much to my dismay, Devito (aka Devi) the kitten has a thing for buttons, so my cardigans have become easy prey. I have tried to cure him of this dastardly predilection, but it seems there…
Read MoreA thoroughly Nova Scotian Hat (and an ode to wool)
I made my ideal hat. I know, one is never supposed to love one child more than another, and it’s a good thing that I only have one human child, but I can’t help myself. I love this hat more than my other hats. There, I said it. Scorn me if you will, but that’s…
