- About me…. After forty years of the daily hustle, I officially traded my briefcase for a crochet hook in September 2025! My life is a colourful tapestry woven with love, family, and a lifelong obsession with making things by hand. When I'm not lost in a sea of paper (my favourite obsession since 2008!), you’ll find me adventuring with my husband, John, and our big, fluffy shadow, Moosh—an 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog with a heart as big as his paws. My greatest treasures are my daughter, Lauren, and the three little stars who call me Nana: Harper, Callie, and Casey. I’ve been crafting stories and keepsakes since childhood, and now I finally have all the time in the world to let my imagination run wild! ✨🧶✂️
