I love infusing the world with bold colours, wild design, and glitzy sparkle! If you are looking for handmade, textured, one-of-a-kind accessories and home decor created from upcycled natural fabrics or for my original art, you’re in the right place. I make each textile item and piece of art myself, and every detail is intended to delight your eye.

I’ve always been drawn to the performance and visual arts. I spent a few years involved in creative movement stage productions and classes. Fibre and textiles and the hand skills that go along with them have been with me since childhood. I also love playing with paper, paint, coloured pencils, and markers. You can get more of a sense of my story here, here, and here (this last one will open in a new tab). As well, my blog will contain more stories as time goes on. Sign up for my newsletter to receive these future stories and more! But suffice it to say, I LOVE bringing colourful creations into existence, so that you can remember that the world is still beautiful.

I’ve lived in several places, but spent the majority of my growing up years in Maine. I met my now-husband during what was supposed to be just a three-month stay in Ontario. Canada became my new home, and in 1996 we settled in Nova Scotia to be near the ocean. I homeschooled my two now-young-adult children and exercised creative thinking while acquiring skills in teaching and frugal living. I guess you could say I live a handmade life.
