We’re ready to ship! Everyone who ordered last Friday can expect their goodies very soon. I finally got my yarn tags in, which was the last bit I needed. I can’t express how happy it makes me to see this pile of Merrickville Gold with my yarn tags attached. On that note, I’ve finalized my…

These are the last of the new colour ways that I will be featuring in this Friday’s Etsy shop update (starting at 11am EST, no worries if the store looks empty right now, that will change ;)). I was going to split these up over the next two days, but I couldn’t wait to share!…

Yes it could; for a start they actually flew to Toronto with flash-frozen fresh fish (because, we all know…

We’ve had freezing rain in Toronto all weekend. To Tito and I, that means it’s time to get out the cameras and head to Leslie Street. I apologize for the image-heavy post… but I hope you’ll agree that it was worth it :)

I wanted to create a series of jewellery pieces themed around Ontario wildflowers. It’s that time of year where even the scrubby stuff on the side of the highway is a riot of colour; goldenrod, chicory, loosestrife, new England astor and the unromantically named cow vetch. One of the best places in the city to…
