As my mentor said to me “it’s always good to know you did a bit of good in the world.” So if you’re reading this - keep doing your bit of good. You never know who needs it or when it will come back to you.

Made a loaf of soda bread. Maybe I need some wheaten bread for when that's done. Any good Nova Scotia flours that I should be trying?

Tanya Johnson had it all. Looks. Charm. A pure heart. Until that night she was found dead in a port building. Will her murder bring a corrupt Edinburgh city councillor's manky business to light?

Looking for Canadian crafters who have shops. Share the links here, please! And pass it on. Etsy is no longer usable and I don't know how else to find online Canadian artists.

I’ve got a request.
A lot of the lovely artists of @womensart2.bsky.social and all over Bluesky have posted their holiday shop updates this weekend.
In these times… can you support them with likes, reposts, and maybe to buy a few holiday gifts?

The upload of new stock has started at loxythemaker.com.
I have to head to an appointment now, but will be back to finish later.
Here's the kind of stuff available.
And if something is sold out, check back in a week or so as I will be refilling the sold items.

Block # 7 done ✅
The joy of finishing a block is immeasurable.😄
Pattern by Tamsin Harvey-Iznik Garden. It is a Turkish Blue Mosque inspired pattern!
I chose raw edge appliqué.
Not chasing perfection just chasing the sheer joy of making it!
