About me
Blurb
Kristina Brouhaha is a craft-daft hyphenated canadian boygirl who lives and crafts next to a forest in central Toronto (hence a high percentage of tree pics) with Aphrodite, Daisy and Quack and their love child Bubbles.
She also shares her space with the ever patient JJ, who is very fortunate indeed to be privy to her general fabulousness, but also has to put up with her many foibles, short attention span and vehement assertions on just about every topic (she has been known as an opinionated type-A person since... well...)

KB can only hope that her various partners in crime don't end up fleeing for fear of suffocation by the ever-burgeoning Handmaiden silk stash, some of which is featured on her Ravelry page (where she finally changed her moniker to Brouhaha, just to be consistent).
For those who like backstory:
A Greek-Canadian Cultural Odyssey
And finally, (drumroll, please!) some rave reviews:
