These two things came about because of Christmas … the first beforehand and the second was a little gift from my niece. I wanted to make some felted soaps as Christmas gifts and needed some mesh for the process. A colleague – Robert from Kingston Soap Co. said he had used mesh from a scrubby…
Two hats…what’s she talking about? Well, I started building my own web site many years ago as I always wanted to keep it up to date…..then got onto building for others. I found working with technical stuff challenging and fascinating and fell in love! My husband even updated my laptop for me this year as…
Yesterday I went, with a friend, to visit the One of A Kind show in Toronto. As I always schlep stuff around and pick stuff up and also shop I took my lovely handy dandy Ikea bundle buggy. We had a cooler with sandwiches, apples (no show food for us) and water…a bottle at the…
I just got my five shots back from Steve Di Monte of CYL Photography. Steve was once again at the Wearable Art Show taking pics of the fashion show and of our work. He was offering five shots for $40 right at the show and had three models with him. I took this offer last…

I took my board to Dorthy’s Lodge a couple of weekends ago for the VayClayTion, a retreat with a pile of wonderful polymer clayers. This event…
Last weekend was the Sheepdog Trials event in Kingston at Grass Creek Park. It’s an annual event in which I have taken part for years. I have a lovely time and my work travels back to far flung places such as the US and Australia! The skein I was handed. One of my favourite parts…
As a wearable art textile artist I rarely exhibit in ‘art’ shows that feature wall art (paintings, hangings etc) but I made an exception with this show….I took in my ‘Village in Spring’ felted jacket to be hung on the wall in the Summer Exhibition at the Window Art Gallery here in Kingston. The Window…

That’s what the uninitiated have been saying I do for years….we know it’s not so by any stretch of the imagination. Anyway, I don’t have a whiz bang machine..except for…
