My good, but distant, friend Judith had a project last year, to make one of my designs (one she had made in a workshop in my studio, in a style to wear to a Breast Cancer fundraiser. She was working in Black Cannele mercerised cotton with ‘Sugar’ (pink) accents. She needed some pink and asked…
No more ‘fly by night’ tales after this post, therobins are fledged and these are the last pics ofthem. A couple of days later they are definitely suffering from overcrowding. I think someone must be standing on robin #4’s head! As soon as I took this picture they flew off and a day or so…
Recently at a studio open house I ran into a friend who had a two day old duckling with her. If staying home isn’t an option on a sunny Sunday, take jr with you in your latest felted bag!!! Here he’s surfaced for refreshements! Just ducky!
Mum/Dad Robin This photo of our baby robins was taken two days ago, I climbed on the little step ladder and was greeted by what seemed like a sea of fluffy baby birds. There are four but seems like only room in there for a couple let alone Mum who sits on them when she’s…
John, Paul, George and Ringo! Most recent picture of our baby robins. Two hatched Wednesday May 9th, a third the following day and when I took this on Sunday we found there are four! Poor Mum screeches at me as I stand precariously on a ladder on our ‘Juliet’ balcony off our bedroom. Good thing…

These wonderfully talented women (and my husband) were found celebrating the award recipients at the KAC Juried Art Salon last Thursday evening. A lovely Spring evening found many of Kingston fine artists and art supporters in the Wilson Room of the public library…
Friday afternoon was polymer clay afternoon meeting for the EOPCG (Eastern Ontario Polymer Clay Group). By the looks of the photo we dragged out a lot of stuff and had a fairly productive couple of hours. Georgia got the others doing ‘Bottles of Hope“, a Breast Cancer project, I wanted to make beads for some…
I couldn’t resist taking pictures of our baby robins ….. well only ours in that their nest is on top of the folded up screen for our bedroom balcony door. The robin family got to the screen before we had need to unfold it and use it! My husband used a mirror to see what…
Well, I did it. I wrote my first pattern with the guidance of Mary Anne Oger at Knitwords magazine. I’ve decided rocket science is easier but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for years now. Just didn’t put aside the time and make the effort. It was a great challenge and I’m really proud of…
