HAPPY NEW YEAR! It’s been a long while since I last posted. So much movement, so much change. Feels like I’ve been on the road for months! End of September I made my return to the motherland. I started out in La Belle Province and rather quickly, circumstances made for me to return to the 6ix. I’ve spent the last couple weeks pushing around furniture and trying to juge my space. Time for new energy flow! I think I’ve found something that works and will live with it a couple weeks. 

Monday I start a new gig as a First Hand at the Canadian Opera Company. I’ll be making costumes for their 2022 season. I’m looking forward to putting my new found historical costume making skills to work via this position. 

In reflection of the past year, I left England feeling like I truly accomplished everything I set out to do. I finished my studies in York, I managed to squeeze a week long tambour embroidery course just before I left the country and I was lucky enough to maintain my own studio and freelance for the bulk of the year. 2021 has felt long on so many levels. I spent it in 4 different cities and quite frankly, I’m starting the new year exhausted. But I’m hopeful that this year will be one of stability and growth.
