A Dog Named Lego
So what’s a Mama to do when she is so busy filling wholesale orders, doing farmers’ markets, taking care of a six year old boy and ignoring her husband and housework? Why, get a puppy, of course. I won’t begrudge anyone who thinks I’m an utter lunatic, but I have to say I have never…
Read MoreWishing for a Hurricane
It is brutally hot here right now. I am a barely functioning human being. The good news is that a hurricane is on the way this Saturday. Today was farmers market day and thankfully we brought the show indoors. I came home to this wonderful e-mail from a customer from Massachusetts who featured one of…
Read MoreLupine Love
When we lived in NY state I purchased some unknown to me flower called a Lupine. I never did get the thing to grow. My neighbour had a few in her garden that she prized and protected. Then we moved to Nova Scotia. One day I took a walk on the back harbour trail and…

This is a hat that has been in my head for a long time. For someone that lives for her next cup of coffee this hat was inevitable. I’m hoping to make it a series. Lucky for me I live in a town with the most incredible organic coffee Roaster/Cafe- The Laughing Whale, so I…

So, I finally got the floors in my studio painted. I have this very pretty soft green on the wall. I thought I’d try one shade darker for the floors. Well, little did I know that The high gloss of the floor paint would turn the apple green into a neon safety green. Combined with…

I am finally making a useful citizen of myself. Tony pointed out to me that if I didn’t spend several hours a day on flickr and etsy and looking at blogs that I might actually have a little time to help out at the house. O.K. guilty as charged. So for the past few days…

The question of the day is: Can self employment, motherhood and sanity co exist? In the realm of my mind they haven’t met yet, but it must be possible. People do it all the time right? Honestly, if anybody out there has found a way to balance it all and breathes easy at the end…
Read MoreThinking Summer Hats and Blueberries
For those of you that have never met me, you might think that I am a four year old boy, by the amount of four year old boy photos that are posted here, but I’m quite a bit older than that. So, I thought it would be a good idea to put my own photo…
Read MoreLunenburg winter market
This past Thursday I set my wares up at our local winter farmer’s market. I must say it was so nice to be selling to people whose faces I could see and who were actually my neighbours. Don’t get me wrong. Selling over the internet is an amazing phenomena and through etsy it has even…
