What a weekend was last weekend! It started on Thursday when I was part of a four artisan delegation who set up in Brockville ON at 55+ Canada Games. We set up in St Lawrence Park overlooking the St Lawrence river and 1000 islands, it was beautiful, I set up my knitting machine and got…
Long time no post….lots going on in my family as I have senior parents and am spending a lot of time with them these days. However I did participate in the Up The Garden Path studio tour the last two weekends in May. My wraps were selling so I am making more for the Art…
KAC Juried Arts Salon submission. Well, it’s that time again. One of a Kind show and Originals coming up.

Here I am on the bring of another show/workshops…
Margot and me outside our hotel… The Gershwin. This is what my old college roommate wrote in a Christmas card a couple of decades ago! I do hope that everyone did have a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays (to be PC). After shows, my Mum’s 90th birthday and a flying visit to New York City…

The front doors of Flemming College“Within These Walls The Walls Disappear” I’ve been back from my first whole week in Haliburton teaching Machine Knitting. Unfortunately I found that life goes on when you’re out in the country, driving through rain storms to the BBQ’s, hot tubbing and lake swimming. The work I left behind divided…
