Step into the world of new beginnings, cultural clashes, and unexpected friendships with Lost & Found—a heartfelt and humorous original play written by Laura J. Cutler and directed by Snizhana Gukasian-Korobeinikova, a professional actress and director from Ukraine, who, in her first year of settling in Calgary, won the CAT AWARD 2024 for Best Leading Role in Sylvia.
Through the lens of Kateryna, a Ukrainian immigrant, and a diverse cast of newcomers, this play dives into the emotional, psychological, and cultural challenges of starting over in Canada. From language barriers to hilarious misunderstandings, from deep struggles to hope and connection, this story captures the real-life journeys of people from around the world who now call Canada home.

GREAT EASY-QUICK 1 HOUR PROJECTS: SCARVES! MAKE FOR THE PERFECT GIFT or TO COMPLEMENT AN OUTFIT. Scarfs are practical and they are an inexpensive gift to treat someone. Whether you like the traditional or infinity design, picking up the perfect stitch for the perfect yarn color is an art. Here are some creations done in the past weekends: Pink-Brown nuance in double front post and double crochet stitch (super easy for beginners).

GREAT EASY-QUICK 1 HOUR PROJECTS: SCARVES! MAKE FOR THE PERFECT GIFT or TO COMPLEMENT AN OUTFIT. It was cold these past days: Nothing best to relax on a weekend after a full busy week at work, than to sit down with coffee and mate one hour on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon with a ball of yarn and a crochet hook. Here is a creation done in the past weekends: Green-Blue nuance traditional scarf in waffle stitch.

I love when clients come to me with their unique projects, close tho their hearts, for me to bring to life. My projects are personalized and unique, and the mean a lot to the person receiving them. I love to see their smiles when they received them. A client recently came to me with a kitchen towel project, something that her mom used to do for her (picture to the left). She provided all materials (10 towels, yarn and buttons) for me to get inspired and recreate something similar. My production is shown in the second picture (picture in the right). I describe below the process of making them (Facebook reshuffled the comments that were posted chronologically, you will have to select "see all posts" to see instructions step by step). I hope this post inspires the new generation of "knitters and crocheters" to continue doing the wonderful things that our moms and grandmas and greatgrandmas used to do for their families
