Well, just one short week to go and I’ll be on the road to Toronto for the Spring 2013 One of a Kind Show. It feels kind of fresh for me as I didn’t do it last year so have had a break. I think I went down at Christmastime to look but it’s been…
I can’t believe it’s time for shows again….I always think there’s this long, bleak Winter period when I can get tons of stuff done as there will be no other demands on my time, but…NO! I’ve had a busy Winter and not done nearly all the things I wanted (start the book, felt a long…
Last weekend I got together with a small and select group of artists and artisans out along the 1000 Islands Parkway. I shot this clip as we had just finished setting up our work. We had a whiz bang wine and cheese on Saturday afternoon and, despite the dreary weather, we had a good turn out…
Off to Toronto tomorrow to be a part of the Just for Us Originals show at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. It will be another great weekend staying with my friend Sonja who is also at the show with her unique knits. It’s great how two women can enjoy and pursue machine knitting designing…

Well, we’re well into 2012 and so many celebrations happening this year. At our annual Portsmouth Village (which it was until it was incorporated into the City of Kingston in 1958) residents AGM we talked about how the neighbour hood needs to be spiffed up as we will have and influx of sailors this Summer….
Well, it’s all happening! With the Ottawa Originals Spring show just around the corner, a small package arrived a couple of days ago and when I opened it and cut the top off the vacuum sealed bag…poof!…more prefelt! So I set to dyeing right away. The great thing about the Spring and the warmer weather and no…

My neighbour was the lovely Jennifer of Crumb aprons,…
