Getting Ready for our Next Art Show

…both Kevin and I are hosting our first art show together

I know that I have enough art to put on another show but I always like to create some new pieces. A while back I took a photo of a random group of buttons and I had it enlarged. In my head I envisioned stitching the buttons over the photograph and then add some more stitches around the buttons. Here is the finished piece.

For my last show I painted a mixed media meadow scene that was very popular and sold at the show. I decided to try another piece using similar techniques but this time I made it larger. It features sumacs in the foreground and spring flowers throughout the rest of this country landscape.

The show starts July 29 and runs till August 24 at Montgomery’s Inn.

On Saturday 45 homes in Southern Etobicoke opened their gardens to the public. Five of the gardens were within walking distance from my house and the other two that I visited required the car.

The New Ferry

…after 21 years with the Sandy Graham

For several years now we have been told that a new ferry would be coming to Christian Island. There were lots of rumours as to why it was taking so long. Then last year it was finally ready for delivery, It made its way through the Great Lakes when disaster struck. Apparently one of the loading ramps fell into the water. Then we had to wait for the repair to be made. Not a small job by any means and of course after the job was completed it needed to pass inspection.

Last week the day arrived when the residents, the cottagers and visitors could drive on and drive off the new ferry. Everyone had huge smiles on their faces. No more backing onto the boat. Loading and unloading was very easy and very quick.

People have asked me if the ferry is faster than the old one. The trip across from one dock to the other might be a few minutes shorter.
