Are you that person who had a favourite stuffie as a kid, a stuffie that was ragged from all your love? Did you keep it, patch it back up so you could show or share with your children?
If yes, that was some serious planning on your part as a kid - well done!

A sunny day in Vancouver means people swarming out to absorb those precious rays and play ball with their dogs. What a way to spend the day! If only I had a dog 😜.

In a world that seems to be less and less colourful, we will need to look closer to find the moments of joy when slivers of colour appear

People can learn so much from animals. This piece was stitched in collaboration with Maisie the cat. She chose the thread colour everytime my needle was empty and I showed her. She has a talent!

When you find something you love, hold onto it. Nurture it. Like your favourite childhood stuffie, ragged from the years of loving it with all of your being.

I think it is the little gestures in life that matter the most. If you see someone and have a feeling you can do something to help, why not? Even a wild flower will brighten someone’s day.

Share the love you have. It will make a difference in the world.

We all need hugs. Let's make the world better by giving away all the hugs we can and stopping the cruelty in the world

It doesn't matter the colour of our skin, the religion, socioeconomic conditions, the country we come from. It is time to remember we are all the same people and that we need to threat everyone as equals. There is no better than.

I chose to look at the world and everything in it from all points of view. To see why the world is at the point it currently is at and where it it is heading.
