June NEWS! It's always an adventure!
Hi all! It's Watermelon season! There's always something new going on here and June will not disappoint! I'm excited for all the happenings this month. I want to start off by thanking everyone who came out to support me and my soap making demo at Ruckle Farm Day here on Salt Spring Island on May 3rd. It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine and farm animals! Due to the support at the Ruckle Farm Day for my demonstrations of soap making, I've decided to start sharing more of my making journey with you all through You Tube, Facebook, Instagram and...
Whoo is excited for May?
Happy May to you all! May starts out with a bang as you can find me at Ruckle Farm Day on May 3rd for my annual soap making live demo. I'll have some soaps along with me for sale as well.

All of the sudden, my creativity was back and I was making new things again and actually enjoying it. Oh trust me, there were alot of tears and angst before and during the break but I am so happy that the break eventually happened. ...
February has arrived and so have my NEW glasses!
And February is upon us, with a sadness and uncertainty that just feels heavy. There is no other description. I am out here lighting candles to bring back the feelings of peace. We can't hide our heads in the sand and pretend that anything is the same and nothing will effect us because it already has in so many ways. I ache for everyone. Those who have lost or are losing their livelihoods, those much worse off who have lost their loved ones and those who are just suffering to get through each day. It's alot of weighted feelings and...
