Beyond the Skein: Where Life Happens

Stamps Are Mini Time Machines
Rediscovered my childhood stamp collection and it brought back a flood of memories! From learning history and culture through stamps to trading with friends at Mrs. M.’s stamp club, it’s a journey I cherish. Plus, my new owl light found its perfect spot amidst this nostalgia. Do you have a collection that’s close to your heart? Let’s share stories!

It Really is All About Community
Come, explore the wonders of the Carling Heights Optimist Community Centre! From fairy gardens to fun floor stickers, this place is a treasure trove of family-focused activities. I even delve into its history as a former Canadian Forces Base. Join me in uncovering the small yet significant things that make our community special. Let’s explore!

As an artist and fiberartist, I delight in blending life’s narratives into my creations. It’s more than just crafting; it’s about infusing my feelings, recollections, and adventures into something tangible and beautiful.
Each piece I create is a personal voyage, reflecting moments of happiness, love, and transformation. In my hands, fibers become a conduit for connection, allowing me to weave my inner experiences into visual tales. This journey transcends mere artistry—it’s a profound exploration and expression of my identity through the colourful threads of life.
