Stitching, Baking & Growing in Norfolk County
Hey, I'm Joti!
Iām a wife, mom of three with one more on the way, and a maker at heart. If weāre just meeting, Iām so glad youāre here! My journey into the creative world started as a way to balance the chaos of daily life. I grew up in Vancouver, BC, as the daughter of hardworking Indian immigrants, and Iāve always had a love for creativity. But it wasnāt until I was working a demanding job that I found hand embroideryāit quickly became my therapy, my quiet escape. Little did I know it would grow into something so much bigger, shaping who I am today.

Let's Stay in Touch
Iād love to share my latest sourdough creations, wool felt portrait availability, and a peek into my wellness journey.
Now, life looks a bit different. My husband and I live on a farm in rural Ontario, where we grow asparagus, bell peppers, and onions (and letās not forget our flock of chickens wandering the yard). Our three kids keep things fun and busy, and with baby number four on the way, life is as full as it is sweet.
When Iām not chasing the kids or harvesting veggies, you can usually find me in my backyard studioāthe space I recently DIYād from top to bottom. Itās my little haven where I get to create wool felted family and pet portraits for people all over the world. And let me tell you, every piece I make feels so personal, because I know how important it is to capture the essence of the people and pets we love.
I also have a thing for sourdough. I bake with my trusty dehydrated starter, SourJoā¢, and itās been such a rewarding way to bring the joy of homemade, nourishing bread to our family. Thereās something really special about taking time to slow down, knead the dough, and share it with the ones you love (though I might also sneak a loaf or two to friends and teachers every now and then!).
Whether itās tackling a home reno project (Iāve painted our entire house brick by brick!) or finding ways to stay grounded in the middle of the beautiful chaos, creativity is always my outlet. It brings me so much joy, and itās what keeps me going.
This space is my way of sharing that love for creating, and I hope it inspires you to find your own moments of mindfulness and joy. Whether youāre here for some DIY inspiration, a felted portrait of your family or pet, or even just to learn how to bake sourdough from scratch, Iām so excited to connect with you. Letās create something beautiful together!
