I'm knitting like crazy to finish a few baby gifts for a shower this weekend. My new-born booties are now my oversized footwear about to become my new- newborn felted booties:) The real new born booties are almost finished. The baby hat looks a tad large so it will be gently felted to reduce the size.It would really be nice if I started these projects before the week I need them... oh well, such is life. Take it as it comes and don't fuss too much.... So, like I was saying- Elvis is coming to Collingwood this weekend- so dust off the ol-blue suede shoes and head on over the town will be hopping!! Find all the details @ www.collingwoodelvisfestival.com It should be a blast-

Look what arrived today?

Petaled slouch cap- beautiful leaf details accompanied by a lovely leaf flower brooch- complete!! Funky earmuffs- great teen gift or for the young at heart- one for me- one for Brenda This book is a winner for sure!!! Every picture showcases a very well thought out detail, fun recipes to prepare to accompany your gifts... I can't wait to get started.

We have been very busy around here. We celebrated Canada Day in Collingwood by participating in the downtown fashion show. My daughter modeled a fun summer tank and short. My son wore the Tilley hat & vest with hemp pants, a bamboo polo and a side pouch... they both looked fab.. my grandson stole the show... he was a little shy but came around when asked a few questions... The main street is now open right down to the waterfront. What a lovely stroll along the water area.
