I’m Ready to Teach. Would You Like to Learn? Plus A New Video
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…
Read MoreMy Quest to Slow Down Time and lots of Slow Hats
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 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…

Happy late August to you all. I must say, I have been squeezing every ounce of summer out of 2021. If this pandemic has taught us anything it is that sometimes you have to slow the clock down. I made a little video for you. The first part is a little glimpse of my local…
