Comfort Dolls....I call ours, Little Hugs!


Showing off our newest comfort doll ~ Little Hug amongst Adult Hats and Baby Hats! Fall is here, expanding our collection of all Hats!  Our Hats are Hugs for your head!

MrB has started to make comfort dolls also.  This is a great way to use up our left-overs especially after making deranged Hats. There are always pieces left-over that we do not like to throw away.  And MsB always has a length of yarn left over from doing a kitchener and saves them in a bag that can be used for stuffing!  This is the first little doll made and he will be kept with Blake as a keepsake.  I was thinking since we have MrB, MsB, and Brigadier our Mascot that this little Hug should have a "B" name too.  The first one that has come to my mind is Bug rhymes with Hug, so perhaps Bugsy!  Wonder if that will stick, or if MrB will approve? Maybe he will have a better idea, and if so, I will let you know :-)

Yesterday we had a market, and it was the first day into our 6th year!  How time has gone by so fast!  Fall is here, and it is onto to a busier selling season.  Yesterday, there was already much talk of , Oh I have to put those socks on my gift list!  Three months will pass by very quickly, and I always look forward to this time at the Historic (Brewery) Market.  Whatever the market is called, as it may be in the works of changing it's name, but not sure to what (?) exactly yet, it remains located at:
1496 Lower Water Street,
Halifax, Nova Scotia 

Whether you are a local or a tourist, pop on down and give us a visit at these dates, as we would love to meet you and chat with you!  There is always room for a pair of socks, or a hat in your market bag, or suitcase :-)

The following dates you will find us at 1496 Lower Water St. 7am to 1pm, look for the Socks Made On 88 sign beside Boates Farm and close to the Brewery Tours location.

Back to School or off to University or whatever?

We will be at the Historic Farmers' Market on Saturday, September 9th (7am - 1pm).  We have a new sock pair to show-off!  Our yarns usually already have a colour name but this pair was created by Blake.  I think I will call it, Irma!
