The Blue Brick is getting a new logo! The blue is fairly obvious, and if you were to see my yarn stash you’d know that turquoise is my all-time favourite, calming colour. The font is a serif, something that feels classic and romantic, much more connected to the type of jewelry that we make than…

William Sullivan after his return to the parish from Lourdes, France. Fr. Sullivan saw many similarities in the terrain in Lourdes to that of his church in Flatrock, and saw that it would…

I get several requests a month for printed photography, but somehow it’s never occurred to me to set up a proper photographer site with an actual shopping cart and print options. When I rebranded the blog, I knew I wanted to put my three passions first; resin jewelry, photography and knitwear design. With that in…
