I live in Western Manitoba with my husband and dog in an old Victorian home. I love I love sewing, upholstery and writing. I am in the process of reinventing myself and my business.
In the past few years, I have been mainly focusing handcrafting purses. I usually draft my own patterns. Recently, my old love of dolls has returned to my life, and I have been spending some time designing patterns and making them into characters. Their stories evolve naturally as I create them, which then leads to creating unique clothing, accessories and stands. I also enjoy collecting and sometimes upcycling found items.
Whether I am creating digital art, handmade art or writing a story, I like to start with a sketch and let their stories come to life. I am looking forward to sharing and publishing my newest creations.
