When Fiona first started to work on her book she asked me – and others – for yarn suggestions. I was thrilled to be able to give her skeins of organic cotton. I […]
In just over a week’s time, I’ll be travelling with my husband and 2 of my 3 children to the beach, actually to Hilton Head at the southernmost tip of SC. I can’t wait. Certainly it’s the idea of a holiday, of being with family, uninterrupted by work, of eating too much SC shrimp and

Sorry, I’ve been a little behind in my posts. Just some big orders to fill, learning the ins and outs of new machinery, putting the finishing touches on the new website and getting ready for TNNA. Did I mention that the house is filthy and the kids have been eating bread and jam for more
I had just finished posting about the crocheted coral reef when “The Women’s Post” – it’s a free local newspaper- arrived with an article about The Museum for Textiles here in Toronto.
