Media Personalities and Channels that I highly Recommend

The Drunken Tourist - He travels the world with “DTs Wife” where they check out and sample local cuisine, spirits and nightlife all while recording and compiling great video reviews to share on his popular YouTube Channel - always fun, with an additional focus on “everything Mexico” (!) - have a laugh, raise a glass and check him out! (Hint - DT MAY be related to me, so I would especially appreciate it if you do the “Like, Subscribe and Comment” thing, every bit helps!)

John Laing - Composer /Conductor / Organist - John makes beautiful music and is well known throughout the world for his skill

Tiny Horse - One of the best new sounds out of Kingston, Ontario, Tiny Horse is on their way to the big time, I am a huge fan of their lyrics and earworm worthy tracks. “You don’t just listen to Tiny Horse. You pick a side. And then, halfway through the chorus, you switch.” Listen to them on any music and streaming service, check out their videos on YouTube and follow this link to find out more!

My other passion in life is a creative one ...

My company "Troodles 'n Trinkets" has been the way that I have created and shared my love of fibre and handmade items on and off for over 25 years.  I am happy to call myself a "Maker" and consider myself an evolving Fibre Artist as I currently focus on both Needle and Wet/Nuno Felting and have just started to use my spinning wheel again (after a lapse of over 40 years!).  

Always a work in progress - to see what I do in my spare time, click on over to the Troodles 'n Trinkets website!

I ship throughout North America and I am happy to be able to offer convenient “Front Porch Pickup” from my home in Burlington.
