I am a full-time teacher who spends her free time connecting with nature.  I am a maker at heart. I grew up learning to use my hands to create; it's in my blood-a true part of my heritage. My grandmothers were exceptional makers.  As immigrants to Canada, they learned how to make something from nothing.  Gardening was second nature and growing up, I learned how to garden and enjoy the fruits of that labour from them. My grandmothers were excellent cooks, bakers, and hand-crafters (textiles).  They passed those skills down to me.

My grandfather was an inventor.  He could create useful tools to solve everyday needs.  Need a juice-making fruit press?  He built one. A dehydrator? Check. Doll furniture for his only granddaughter?  Coming right up.  He loved a challenge and tinkering in his shop.

Over the years, I have found my way back to my maker roots.  I have reignited my passion for gardening, cooking, and baking.  I love to create with my hands, invent when an idea strikes, and share my knowledge with those who are interested.  This blog has been developed for that purpose.  Click on the blog button to read my latest blog post.
