I love how they look and how durable they become after the felting process. Little did I know, cats seem to love felted items as well. Doesn’t matter where I put them, one of the cats seems to find them, curl up and sit/sleep on them. […] Read more...

I’ve completed a few projects that were started months ago and I’ve been doing a lot of baking. A lot. My baking skills continue to grow and I’m trying new techniques and recipes that I would never have bothered with before. Recently I’ve made a […] Read more...

I’ve actually made a tonne of bags but they are all in different stages completeness. Most are like 90% done – add handle or maybe a liner, embellishment, that sort of thing. I know I should finish one project before I start another one but it’s not the way I operate. […] Read more...

I made it for years when I lived in Calgary which makes sense considering I worked at a soap store.
