The Mad Woman of Locke Street is my husband's nickname for me.
Hence our first web site. .....

We live on Locke Street (a small tourist area in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, full of little antique shops, restaurants and bars). I work out of my 'Lab' as he calls it in the loft.
Trained as a graphic artist, I was a partner in a very successful catering business for 14 years!!! (yes I know... go figure!!)
I reached a point where I was fed up with getting up at 4:15 am every day. Then my partner became very ill, (now recovered thank God) and we decided it was a sign to pack it in. What to do??
The Embroidery business I decided, that's it!! I bought the machine, and started to look for designs.
I couldn't find what I wanted.
I became a Grandmother, and wanted to make everything for my beautiful baby granddaughter, (the first of 9 gorgeous grandchildren)
I still couldn't find what I wanted. So I started to design. hats when the madwomanoflockestreet.com was born. Now I have loads of design sets,
and am constantly creating more. Then decided that a download site would be better for those in a hurry,,

Though now downloads are also available at themadwomanoflockestreet.com too.
I LOVE samplers, and keepsakes, and seem to veer off in this direction all the time, so keep watching, as I will add more and more.
Now we have started a tee-shirt site too.  Tees and Patches. They are mostly humorous and silly. Currently they are individually embroidered to order, or as a result of a partnership with Zazzle.ca, most of the designs are available on mugs, mousepads,aprons,decals etc.
