Herbie - DH is a teacher so we get a nice summer holiday. We would get nine weeks instead of seven but the schools in our area start two weeks earlier than in the rest of Ontario. That's to make up for our two week-long hunt breaks. We have one in the fall and one in the spring. Most of our community is a Cree reservation so having the hunt breaks is important.

Betty - your chair is beautiful. You are so talented. I'm also always amazed at all you do.

So for one of my talents, here is a dress that I designed and sewed. SIL got married last October and I needed a dress. I was 8 months pregnant. Also, it is next to impossible to get zippers, buttons, nice fabric or patterns here. So I needed to make a dress that didn't need any fasteners yet would look nice enough to wear to a wedding. I had bought the fabric during the summer because I fell in love with it. I love orange and I love paisley and this fabric combined them. I also happened to have the lighter colour on hand as well.
