Meet the Artist

Penny Ramsay

It all started in June 2022 when I sat down at my father’s old scroll saw and cut out my first pattern: a rainbow. Crafting has always been a part of my life; I spent years watching my father create beautiful wooden art pieces with his saw. After discovering some talented artists on Instagram making stunning wooden 3D signs, I knew I had to try it myself—and I was instantly hooked! My passion flourished as I experimented with different techniques and absorbed countless tips from my favorite makers.

In September 2022, I launched my business, crafting signs from my home in Miscouche, and I haven’t looked back since!

As for the name "Hoodle Haddles," it holds a special place in my heart. Growing up next to my grandparents, my grandfather would tease us with the phrase, “What do you want for your birthday, a hoodle haddle?” He never explained what it meant, no matter how many times we asked! This cherished memory became the perfect inspiration for my business name.

This isn’t just a hobby or side hustle for me; it’s my full-time job! I still have so much to learn, but I’m enjoying every moment. Thank you for being part of my journey!
