During my childhood, I loved playing with dolls and stuffed animals. I would invent stories. Back then, in the 1960s, I lived in a small village in Central Quebec. We had very limited resources, far from what we have today.

We made our own props using paper, cardboard, string, pieces of wood, etc. Later, in the 70s and 80s, I was fortunate to learn handicrafts such as knitting, crocheting, and embroidery from my mother. Additionally, I had the opportunity to explore other artistic techniques in my high school and college classes.

As time went on, daily life required me to focus on working to make a living. I put aside this artisanal practice.

Now that I am retired, this new chapter marks the beginning of a creative adventure, allowing me to reconnect with the passions of my childhood. These precious memories have guided my return to my roots. I have chosen to dedicate myself to creating crochet dolls and bears. This craft activity allows me to express my creativity while perpetuating a craft passed down with love.
