My design process, it can be a sparkling idea from a need or desire or more often it can start with an inspiring material or textile that begs to be reimagined.

I’d like to introduce you all to my coveted collection of Canadian mint money bags. These were sourced by a best friend who knows me well who upon visiting another fellow Canadians creative space clear out -knew I needed to have them somehow.

So let me let you in on something you may have seen a sneak peek of a very cool quilted tote that I peekaboo last year, but I am working on a fresh line of bags, totes and duffles to celebrate these thick printed funky bags with a history. In the process, I’m trying to find a cute name for the lineup.

“My five cents”. “Call me money bags”, ”mint”, “in this economy”!? 😅 etc. To celebrate slow fashion, repurposing, and pops of personality not to mention unique quality handcrafted products.
If you have any lightbulb ideas, please comment below I love it so much when you share your thoughts with me.

That lightbulb moment hits when silliness, whimsy and creative flow find their groove. -Their emperors groove.

I am starting off my winter post-market season with a refresh of the mind body home and studio (knowing which one to work on is still a balancing act).
For many of us, this jump prior to spring can mean purging excess items in the home, a fresh coat of paint or trying to uphold resolutions for the new year. I’m looking forward to minimizing my excess- because although I appreciate minimalism, I’m a maximalist at heart. I love textures and color, but also peace of mind and clutter is not my jam. We needed an area rug for our living room so the kids can play without sliding across the floor and we found this one that brought heaps of warmth, but our existing pillows which were starting to become tattered &needed a refresh. Rather than jumping to buy new I opted to look at what could be re-fashioned at home.
I managed to thrift two thick linen placemats with a funky pattern that happened to blend in beautifully with our new Turkish carpet. I’m so proud to dip into my Fabric stash and produce something that is cosy and cohesive in our little sanctuary. It’s helped me on my way to finding my Sewjo too and inspired me to see what else I can mend and repair in the cold winter season breathing love into the objects we do keep.
Wishing you all a mindful peaceful, and sustainable practice of your choosing. I highly recommend reusing and refurbishing items that you already have on hand. It’s such a rewarding win when you do!

A boy and his apple. This adventurer has been giving his vest the most spectacular views. Together they have made life’s precious discoveries (often forgotten by grown ups) and memories for a lifetime with his incredible momma! I am tickled to bits to know just how much sweet Atlas LOVES his bespoke vest. Best part of my job is hearing about the wonderful people that adore my creations once they’ve been taken to their homes!
Dream huge little guy! You are loved 🩵

I love my job! It’s creative and crazy and bringing months of work in the making to the markets is a thrill because im met with so many beautiful like minds that get just as excited about silly colourful upcycled whimsy as me!

This holiday season was another for the books. I am humbled, exhausted and ever grateful for every person that came to say hello and cheered us on, everyone that took my handmade creations home and mates who brought festive treats I love you so so much!

In a year of tariff tug o war, postal strikes it’s so special to see the markets bustling with community excited about supporting local, handmade, sustainably made with care products and gifts.

None of which would be possible without my village. My incredible partner in all things in this life our munchkins for their cheerleading and genuine joy when they see my work and their Grandparents for supporting looking after and feeding the monsters. My booth babe & mvp and set up sistah . Thank you to all my maker neighbours and buds because the show set up, tear down and stand for eternity is made so so enjoyable because we choose community over competition and stay silly! Thank you all for keeping me busy in the studio and ever inspired by your thoughtful comments and for supporting my handmade small business for over 18 years of discovery and sustainabile creative pursuits. You are absolute magic ✨
