As I was under the weather recently, my dear friend Rose took the oportunity to send me a card that she had purchase a year ago. She had waited all this time for the right time. It is soooo cute. A knitting bag made of patterned wallpaper (I think), with wire handles and knitting needles,…
And I’m not talking about guys in town that’ll do your house! 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…

I belong to the EOPCG or Eastern Ontario Polymer Clay Guild…. a small group of clayers who meet once a month to work with the clay, exchange techniques and ideas and such. It’s not written in stone, I’ve attended with only my…
I took a digicam video at the One of a Kind show fashion show which showed one of my designs. I’m having a heck of a job getting it as an extra here on my side bar! Meanwhile you can click photo and watch it on YouTube. This is a cotton design called ‘Pip’ with…
I can’t believe the shows have come and gone!! Such a high pressure build up and then kicking off the year with the One of a Kind in Toronto then Originals in Ottawa. Hard work but a lot of fun. I love connecting with clients, colleagues and friends at the shows, it allows me to…
Second day at the OOAK, seems like everyone I know or have knit for came by the booth, it was wonderful. To go from spending waaaaaay too much time all alone (well… me and General Hospital) in my studio for weeks leading up to the shows to having all these wonderful people stop by is…
