My mother was born October 30th, 1937, and just died the 11th of August, 2008.
It’s been an intense time for me, helping to sort out her little trailer in Folsom, California for the past couple weeks.
One of the best, saddest, happiest, most cathartic tasks has been to go through some family photos.
And this is one of my very favorites… the spunkiness of my mom, before she married, before any of us kids came along…
Stay tuned for more photos of Mom to come…

Art-to-Wear for Every Head
Each of my Heirloom Handknit Hats begins as a giant, over-sized stocking cap, knit by hand of llama and wool.
Next, it is shrunk into a thick, durable felt in the washing machine, which is then shaped by hand and air-dried.
Finally, each hat is lined with a silky ribbon to keep it's shape and provide lasting comfort. Many are finished with freehand embroidery, as unique as the wearer.
All are signed, dated and numbered by hand.
With less than 200 made each year, these hats are truly limited-editon, art-to-wear pieces that will provide years of warmth and comfort for the lucky owner.

My Goal
I strive to create highly functional, exquisitely handcrafted art-to-wear Heirloom Handknit Hats.
Winter is wonderful... but not if you are cold. That's where a lovely, warm hat fits in!
If wearing one of my hats helps you get outside and enjoy yourself, then I will have played my small part in making your world a little warmer and brighter.
Your head is sacred. I aim to create original art-to-wear hats that are worthy of your head. -
