What's Happening
Warm Hearts are Here!
On the theme of love, I decided to release a small collection of hearts for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that I think we all need a little extra love with current events as they are, and another is to allow time to make and mail these treats out to you before Valentine's Day. (Local curbside pick-up is also available.)
Just click here to browse this selection of heart pins, mini hearts and there's a mini heart rughooking kit, too.

SOLD OUT: February 1st & 20th 2021 Zoom Classes - Reality is Not All It's Cracked Up to Be: Playing with Abstract & Non-Objective Design in Rug Hooking
In this class, you will learn about abstract and non-objective design. For example, did you know that you don't have to "see things" in an abstract work?
We'll play with composition, shape and colour to design and create a 6x6" abstract or non-objective mat of your own. Space is limited, so register early.
These two classes are now sold out. I'm looking forward to them!
