About Me

My photo
chris
I golf, knit, sew, felt and work in the Beautiful Niagara Region, the banana belt of Canada. I golf 4 times a week, 8 months a year, with a couple of golf trips south in the winter. I knit, and sew, and felt, most of the other hours of the day. I have one piece of felt art in permanent display at the Niagara Region Offices, and several art works have been displayed and purchased around Ontario. I run felting workshops regularly at the Fibre Garden in Jordan Village. My felted goods are available for purchase on Etsy (link above) or at Pamela's in Jordan Village.
