blue fundy and the abstract workshop
Dear Diary, here is one of the blues that inspired my latest go at the Bay of Fundy. I was coming down the stairs yesterday and it struck me once again how beautiful the colurs were. Sometimes the light is just right. Today I spent the day with fifteen women from all over, New Jersey, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Texas, Ontario and Newfoundland, and we started the Abstract Workskhop. We have two days ahead of us … Read entire article »

I brake for beauty
Dear Diary, I have driven this road to Parrsboro a hundred times I am sure. There are weeks that I have gone down there three or four times. Yet last weekend there was this tree, a tree I had never seen before. It looked like something from the Group of Seven, but there it was standing alone on top of a blueberry field in Cumberland County. I drove by it on the way down. I … Read entire article »

Simple but Complicated….Wool Mittens
Dear Diary, On my road trip with Delia I saw these mittens hanging. I know it is the wrong time of year to show you but they are so gorgeous I just could not help but take a picture and show you them her. They are just so perfect and beautiful. There is nothing so simple and yet so complicated as a pair of handmade mittens. Look at the pattern on these. I find them … Read entire article »

It is one of excitement and pleasure, of feeling really alive and … Read entire article »

celebrate the indy’s ….they’re just so pretty
Dear Diary, the other day I was in Sackville , New Brunswick and walked by this hat display in the window of Blooms, a flower shop on the main street run by Haidee Roberts and her business partner. It was just so pretty, so inspiring I had to show you. I think it is a great example of “create beauty everyday”. Haidee’s windows often make me stop and take a few breaths because they are … Read entire article »

simply beautiful
Dear Diary, I made one little rug this week that turned out beautiful. I was talking to a friend on the phone and an idea of hers struck me. I made it, and I loved it. When I make something small and lovely, it makes me want to make more small rugs. I am so easily led. What if every rug you made was perfect, or just about nearly perfect. What would it feel like? You … Read entire article »

make something beautiful
Dear Diary, today was spring. You just felt it. I knew it was coming. The other night my neighbour Wayne called at ten thirty. That’s odd, he would call so late. “I just wanted you to know”, he said, “that if you listen real close you can hear the peepers in the pond tonight.” That is a good neighbour. The pussy willows are everywhere now, having reached their prime. Kim, who has her own blog, called Millie’s … Read entire article »
