Dear 2015
ByWhere to start? On the whole, you were very good to me.
The Blue Brick officially became a business
We spent a beautiful summer bringing our resin jewelry to art shows across Southern Ontario
I wrote a design that was published by Sweet Georgia
I designed a colour way that went viral
The Blue Brick became a successful indie yarn dyer
I married my best 2-legged friend
We toured Europe
2 of my best friends had the most beautiful baby in history (I’m biased).
And we launched a yarn club.
But the year ended tragically, I said goodbye to my best 4-legged friend.
Looking back on 2015 I am filled with gratitude for all we have experienced & accomplished, and for the beautiful network of friends, customers, blog readers and patrons of the Blue Brick that make what we do so rewarding.
I couldn’t believe the outpouring of love, support and solidarity for Shodan and the tough decisions we had to make. Truly, the Blue Brick has the most amazing customers in the world. For that I am truly grateful.
From our family to yours, I wish you the very best of 2016. Health, happiness, love, life and prosperity. Onwards!

You two have had quite the amazing ride this past year! However – that doesn’t surprise me in the least. You are both determined to make everything succeed and you both have the abilities to make that happen. You’re an amazing pair! Truly.
Again – my heart aches for your loss my friends. Tears here as I think about what you are going through. Nothing is the same after this and the brave faces you put forward are indeed – brave faces – while your heart is broken. I wish I could give you both a huge hug – and keep on giving it to you. Please know I care. Having each other for this is what it takes to get through it. More than eight years later I can still here my fur babies meowing around the house and at night I think they still cuddle with me to help me sleep. I wish this for you both as well – memories that never fade away.
Looking forward I wish you both a new year that brings more love than you’ve ever known and success beyond your dreams.
Thinking of you both from way over here in the west.

Happy New Year- so many adventures!
We lost our kitty Mary this year very unexpectedly and our family deeply sympathizes with you and T.
Here’s to great memories, and lots of love in 2016!
