I wrote this on International Women’s Day but only just got around to posting it. Listening to the women of The View this morning, they were reminding us of Sally Field winning the Oscar for ‘Norma Rae’ in 1980 while she was dating Burt Reynolds. Apparently, he wouldn’t go to the Oscars with her as…
I was passed this by a fellow artisan and having sat in my show booth now for 31 years I’ve heard these comments a million times!!!!!!! This is a ‘cuuuute’ video. The women in this video must be seasoned artisans and have done lots of craft shows themselves. Having been on the scene a long…
Ten thirty am and not dressed (again!), answering email, uploading photos of the hat making I did the other day, resizing photos for a web site I build, now I have to place them and upload. Laying out my hat. A studio tour application to drop off (when I get the accompanying photos edited and…
Well, it’s been a busy few weeks since I returned from PEI. There was a workshop at Frontenac Secondary School that was very interesting as I have not worked solely with teenagers before and it was a unique experience! From deciphering teen talk & slang to figuring out what each individual was really interested in….
PEI Potatoes from the red earth. Well, I know it’s been three weeks today that I started the East Coast Machine Knitters’ seminar but things have been so busy since I returned that I have only just found five minutes to finish logging my journey. I started out to leave the island but stopped to…

Well, a while back I started to put together my knitting notes and some instructions into a book….hmm still working on that, it’ll take a while as there’s a lot of writing. Then the software I was using announced they had added ‘Notebook’ to their stable of formats and after taking a look at a…
Selection of artwork and refreshments! Well, the hard reality is that we had our second ‘Summer’ Artists Round Table meeting which means that we are on the wrong side Mid Summer!!! I still feel I haven’t begun, still haven’t made it out to Sandbanks for an afternoon of fun in the sun (note to self…remedy…
I’m so happy about our latest Artists Round Table, especially as I actually got it together to send out the emails in time before I was in Fanfayr Arts and Crafts show all weekend (though I did find out I could access the internet on my iPad all weekend in Confederation Basin!!!) I decided to…
Just got back from the Just for Us Originals show and sale of wearables. It was a good weekend, the weather was cooperative in that it was warm and sunny… not keeping women home. The venue – the Mississauga Living Arts Centre – was great and we set up in the foyer/atrium…. three story high…
