What are you making? Jean Jacket Art, upcoming speaking, new episodes on Renegade Conversations and Order your Wearable Art Clothing for the holidays now.
October reminds me of picking apples with my mom and siblings, of making apple crisp, of Canadian Thanksgiving. It is a time of harvest in the northern hemisphere (and a time of new growth and new beginnings in the southern hemisphere). There's something about fall and spring that inspire me to make changes, to find joy in seasonal foods and to make stuff. Hit reply to this email and let me know what you are making!
And ... this time of year also has me thinking about what else do I want to do? What gives my life meaning? What do I need to grow? (More about my upcoming
plans in a future post.) Here's a throwback blog post about the value of taking time to daydream with no purpose in mind. How daydreaming can boost creativity.
Renegade Reboot: Unleashing power and purpose in this next chapter I'll be speaking at Disrupt HR Halifax on November 14. Does the thought of becoming a renegade make you smile? Are you in or coming up to a period of transition (retirement, pivoting career paths, starting a family, etc.)? What if you could use this disruption as an opportunity to find yourself? To find your voice and become wild with
purpose. Details and ticket link below.
Renegade Conversations Season Four
Season Four of Renegade Conversations is in full swing. Tomorrow a truly inspiring episode with Liz LeClair launches. I know each season I say this is going to be the best season ever, but I truly believe Season Four is the best season yet!
You can access Renegade Conversations on YouTube here. Don't forget to subscribe tomy YouTube channel . Or if you prefer to listen only, the audio version is available on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
Wearable Art - order now for Christmas Have you been thinking of a special outfit for the holiday season? Or perhaps you are planning to purchase a unique item as a gift for a special person in your life. My Wearable Art Clothing is made one piece at a time when you order. The piece is printed and sent to a local Montreal sewist and then shipped to you. It's best to allow 4 to 6 weeks to avoid disappointment. Here's the link to order. (You can also find the link on my website shop.)

Artwork in Progress I feel like my making (and my creativity) has shifted into high gear this fall. I'm spinning and plying yarns, weaving on my new Tri-Loom, and hooking more Jean Jacket Art.
Here's a photo of my latest Jean Jacket Art, inspired by my Love Letter from my original healing mat
series. It is on a white jean jacket and I'm really excited to wear it to the Craft Nova Scotia Designer Craft Show in November. If you have a favourite jean jacket and would like an original design hooked by me, contact me.
If you would like to own one of my fibre art creations, take a look at my gallery or contact me. Custom designs also available.
