Crap, Evil Pirates and a Middle aged Mom.
Last night my friend and mother to Dustin’s friend sent me this screen shot and suggested that I might want to get Dustin his own YouTube account. We do have a few internet rules, like he is not allowed to write comments on videos. I did actually put those parental controls on my account, but…
Read MoreAmelia Rose
Amelia Rose is one of my sillier hats, but I love her. You can’t quite see it in this photo, but the flower is enormous. As in, stands out a couple of inches away from the head. I had started by trying to make a polar fleece fascinator, which is quite a silly concept in…
Read MoreMore Talent in Lunenburg
Fall is in its full splendor in Lunenburg. Every morning I walk the dog and marvel at the beauty of this amazing town I live in. I also marvel at my inability to capture it in my photos. Well, lucky me. I have joined forces with one talented lady that lives right here. Her name…
Read MoreThe Making of a Wet Felted Hat
I love this hat and fortunately, I love my aunt, who I made it for even more. Making this sort of hat is a small act of insanity. There is no measuring the hours. I had to stop calculating somewhere after 3 days. Wet felting is a process I truly love and the clock just…

Tony and I have been selling our wares at the old Historic Halifax Market. I really love it there. While the crowds are pushing each other at the Seaport market down the street, customers are leisurely shopping in the most gorgeous historic stone building. Regina ordered this fascinator from me and I wish I could…

It’s true I have a lot of favourites, but that’s because fabulous, strong women are attracted to my hats. I love…
Read MoreA Walk Around Lunenburg
The other day my dad e-mailed me to see if my blog site was not working. He thought it odd that the last post was from August 31st. Hint well taken. So, here I am, coming up for air after having completed a few hundred hats for wholesale orders. Thought I’d bring you along on…
Read MoreHello From The Middle of Summer
Hello from the middle of summer. Tony and I had a very rare date together. This was courtesy of Dusty being at a 5 day overnight camp. There’s a whole story there in itself, but I’ll sum it up by saying that I’m not as tough as I pretend to be. I know the minute…
Read MoreLady Luck
For a couple of years now I have been selling my winter hats at Lady Luck Boutique in the Hydrostone Market in Halifax. This year we decided to see how the summer hats would sell. Well, they have been flying out the door. There’s nothing more fun than getting a frantic message that more hats…
