by the lakeside
Hello and Welcome! I'm Sandy and I live by the lakeside in Ontario, Canada. I traded a busy corporate life in the fashion industry to make project bags and leather goods for my own shop. This is my cozy corner of the internet, where I share my making and favourite things.
I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to arts and crafts and usually have multiple projects going at once. Sewing, quilting, knitting and art journaling to name just a few.
I am always looking for the beauty in every day life and try to make every aspect of my world as cozy as possible.
