Lives in Port Perry, Canada
I am a very tall woman, and being over 6 feet tall, I designed my own clothes. Now I do it for a living, but working only with Canadian fur, primarily Beaver, and working it as a yarn to make KNIT Fur pieces. We live in the countryside and have a cabin listed on airbnb I like to visit cities once in a while, and often attend trade shows in Montreal or Toronto Love to travel to Mexico. Life is short!
