Funk Shui Felt

I feel like I’m still in the messy middle, but thought this cute picture I took a month ago would get more attention than my grumpy studio tear down shots. Whew. It’s been intense! Still in recovery mode, as I’ve barely had a moment to pause as I launched into preparations for my upcoming big adventure. But yes, my Granville Island studio is officially a thing of the past. Our very small home still has stacks of boxes, and s**t I’ve got to organize. One thing at a time. I’m so, so grateful to my husband who has helped me every step of the process, and continues to be patient with the mountains of stuff cluttering our small space.
More on my upcoming adventure soooooon, but thought I should say hello and let you know I’m still alive.

We said goodbye to our sweet baby gurl today. She was so much personality and attitude packed into a small form, and brought tremendous joy and laughter to our lives.
She spent the first three years of her life as a breeding bitch, popping out puppies, until she had a hysterectomy and her owner no longer wanted her. Scott adopted her and I met the two of them a few years later.
Posie was a queen, a clown, a baby girl and a grandma all in one. Being a real foodie, her favourite time of day was any time food was being served, and she would watch me with rapt attention any time I was in the kitchen. Her list of favourite foods is very long; in fact, there were only a few foods she didn’t like. I will miss her enthusiastic greetings when I come home from work, and her insistence that I get into the kitchen and start making dinner.
I feel so lucky to have been her mom, and to have earned a special place in her heart. Scott was always #1, but I was #2 as long as there was no food around. We are brokenhearted, but know that she loved us and she will always be our baby gurl.

I recently returned from a surf trip to Mexico and it was super awesome. Celebrating the 50th birthday of my surf wife along with her hubs Geordie, also a close friend. We had great waves every day, adventures, many many laughs, and made new friends in human and animal form.
Now that I’m back it’s time to buckle down and focus on wrapping up my studio life in the next two months.
Prepare to see a lot of random bits and bobs, and pieces that have never been shown before!

Welp! I’ve realized that in trying to please everyone I’ve set some unrealistic goals for myself. 🤣(note to file)
Namely, trying to expand my sale to include online sales as well, when I don’t have any new work listed on my website. I did manage to add some some new pieces in the last couple of days of busy shop time, but I’m going to pause now. It’s a tremendous amount of work, and I’ll save it for when I don’t have a shop to tend to, and a million other tasks.
To anyone who expressed interest in an online sale, I’m happy to do a video call with you to show you what I’ve got and honor that.
I’m exhausted and need a break, and thankfully I’m going to be in Mexico in a week.
I am so incredibly grateful to all the people that have supported my work, and come into the studio recently to tell me how much they love visiting, and are going to miss it when I close. Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️
