Cow-muter?


MOO!

She rides the train everyday from Ajax to Toronto. 
She's on her way to greener pastures, but
when you're always on the go it's sometimes easy to get lost in the herd!



This slide-show would not have been possible without help.
Thanks to Will and Dave (my creative team) for help with staging and photography 
... and a big thank-you to  Mr. Willie Nelson for 
providing the perfect soundtrack for the adventures of my three-foot, fabric cow!

Purses



Both of these purses were crocheted from merino wool and then wet felted....



... and this purse features a collage of images taken while I was commuting from Ajax to Toronto last fall...

Sock O'Monkeys


Meet the Sock O'Monkeys! 
This crazy bunch of primates love to hang out all day with the laundry and snack on the dryer lint.  
That may explain why they're always static free and why they smell like a fresh summer breeze!


Summerfest


Come out to the Rose Theatre in Brampton, ON on Saturday July 25th, 2009 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and stop by my booth.  This is my very first juried art show and I will be shamelessly promoting my unique designs and flogging my wares all day long.  
Check out www.bramptonartfair.com for a list of vendors and events.
Hope to see you there!

"Lil' Yarn People"



 Designed and modeled after classic "Little People" by toddler-toy manufacturer Fisher Price, these larger versions pay homage to one of my favourite toys growing up. Both pieces are crocheted out of worsted-weight acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fiber-fill.


This red one is set to be auctioned off in support of the St.William Adult ESL Library 
The fundraiser and silent auction will be held at Leonardo Galleries,
(133 Avenue Rd. Toronto, ON) on July 16th, 2009
Anyone interested in supporting this charity event can contact Milka at 

"Wilbur The Frog"



Croak... Croak.... Croak....
This ectotherm loves to sun himself on the rocks next to our pool! 
(Wilbur was crocheted with sport weight acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fiber-fill)
