I often get requests from lovely customers to alter certain elements on my bags - most are doable like changing lengths of straps and extra pockets, etc.

I often get requests to make the popular triangle tote bag in different sizes. I recently got a request for a smaller scale version and the proportions just seemed to work , so - I decided I would add this sweet little bag to the shop. it's similar to the triangle tote in every way just a wee smaller. as you can see lil' p was pretty taken by the new size as it is a scale she could carry.

Creepy & Hysterical

I'd forgotten all about one of the games I used to play as a kid:  My best friend & I called them our "wizards."   We would look at each other upside down, cover up our noses & mouths and see "wizard" faces.  It looked like creepy men with beards.  Sometimes we'd draw lips on our foreheads and then make ridiculous facial expressions to see the mouths move.  Last night, I shared the game with my 4 year old (Christian) & husband (Dave) & my little sister (Morgan).  Christian's wizard was by far the best one I've ever seen.  It was so tiny & his eyes were so big.  I seriously CANNOT handle this:

{It's easier to "see" the wizards if you put your hand over the screen to hide the real nose/ face}

Dave's killed me too.  I drew lady lips on his head and since he's bald, his wizard had no beard, just a massive jowl:

This seriously makes me cry from laughing so hard. 

You won't regret playing.

a few weeks ago when I was in muskoka for the arts and crafts show I met jen for the first time - we both had a mutual friend - christine a fellow rug hooker - when jen pulled out her purse - I was smitten by the loveliness of it and quickly asked her if she would ever be interested in trading. last week a beautiful clutch arrived wrapped in hand dyed wool. check out jen's blog here and I hope this piece inspires you to want to give hand hooking a go. thanks again jen - I love it!

I had to take a photo of these two dinosaurs dressed by piper after her bath (it put a smile on my face), she's got a bit of hair now - enough to do a tiny french braid - how exciting! - and a splash of colour from some flowers in the backyard.
