I Miss This Hat
I just came across this photo of one of my merino wool wet felted hats. I love making them, but as they take forever and a day, I don’t get to make too many of them. They never stay with me for long. This one lives in Montreal with its owner.

Hat land has been so incredibly busy these days. I don’t know if it’s princess Kate or the article in The Chronicle Herald, but I can hardly keep up with the demand. Yesterday I finished this Millie Hat. I was so loving this new colour combo of moss green and dark brown. Thought I’d get…
Read Morea fascination with fascinators
I officially declare this fascinator thing a frenzy. I have to admit that when things become trendy I want to run away, but I just watched this little video that really calmed me down and gave me an appreciation for how a beautiful fashion icon like Princess Kate can shape a culture. It is a…
Read MoreWe got it Too!
Finally! After hearing about the impressive snow fall just about everywhere except Lunenburg, I was really feeling left out. What’s winter without snow? Well, here it is. Because our driveway is so close to our neighbour’s, we have nowhere to pile the snow except the front of the house. There are two little creatures that…

Yesterday I set up my wares at the Halifax Market again. I had only one goal and that was to get there alive. I’m on the road at 4:30 a.m and the thought of being pried out of bed in the middle of the night and then driving for an hour and a quarter always…

I am ashamed to admit that yesterday was our first time at the beach this summer. I have lots of excuses, but I’ll spare you. After hearing report after report from friends who said you could actually go in the water, we packed up the car and went to hang out with friends at one…

It’s that time of year again. The Big Ex is in town. There was no earthly way to avoid it. Although we went on Tuesday it has taken me until today (Saturday) to be able to write about it. That’s because my son had that kind of impressive kicking and screaming meltdown in the middle…
Read MoreLilly’s Hat
Here’s one of my favourite little girls in her new hat. Lilly and Dusty have been friends since we moved to town a couple of years ago. She’s pretty comfortable here. She has often asked me for a hat, but she has her very own strong artistic vision and you just never know if you’re…

What a whirlwind of a week. The CBC did come to my house on Monday to interview me. I would say I was sickly nervous for a few days prior, but when I woke up Monday morning I just calmed down and went into performance mode. Colleen Jones was really fun. She is something of…
