I just came back from a show at my friend Malene's home where she held a show with her work, a clothing designer, a knitter ( who also raised the sheep, and spun wool to buy), another potter, and a weaver. A cedar wreath I made for her was on the front door (with cards... Continue Reading →
You are here

Overwhelmed by creative choices and projects?
I don’t know about you but, sometimes in the summer~ there are just too many projects and possibilities for creativity. Why did I specify summer- this can be all the time!

Wedding flowers made with a loving community
Recently I found myself doing something that had the inside of my mind giving me a different narrative than what the outside was actually living. Let me explain. I had been asked by a lovely knitting friend if I could make a wedding bouquet for her daughter's wedding. I was so honoured to be asked.... Continue Reading →
Generosity
