if will be one of approximately 50 stops that
the company makes at shows each year.
Leach says he first became interested in
carving after watching his brothers-in-law
at work.
"I had lots of scars at the • start," he says,
adding, "it's no wonder when you consider
seven different knives are required for
carving"
Leach has progressed to the point that one
bird takes five to six hours to carve and he is
often working on many at one time. his
favourite is the "Working Mallard."
Eileen Toews hates mice!
But you won't think so if you drop by her
booth at the Festival of Arts and Crafts. As
owner of Eileen's Crafts, located in Wind-
sor; -she now creates cute little mice com-
plete with gingham hats and pretty posies.
"It takes me two -and -a -half to three hours
to finish a mouse on a broom," Toews says.
This variety is a new idea which sells
quite well according to Toews, who also
makes napkin holders-. In addition, she br-
ings along quite an assortment of chimes
which are made by a friend.
Eileen's mice are coming to the Festival
of Arts and Crafts in Goderich July 17th -
19th. How about you? For more information

haphazard - a tew - often_ very few, good
floats and the rest last minute throw -
together - and it shows! The bands and
decorated cars do their best, but so few real
"works of art" are showing up (or not up!
The big truck beds covered with hay and
children are fine too - but don't you think,
there .should be more than that? Our big
trouble is that no one wants to think about
the Christmas Parade until the week of the
parade- that is why I'm saying, "Why can't
we get some floats started before it gets so
cold and stormy?"
Finding a place to keep a float for a month
is almost impossible - but we could make
things needed for a nice presentation now -
or sooner - if you'd just think about it.
Do you realize there are lots of people who
would help to make things. There are so
many older, wonderful people who have said
"I would have helped - if I'd been asked."
These people have made things years ago
' and would get a kick out of doing something
again - in their own time at their own speed.
This is the time to do the figures, frame
work, new ideas while it can be done out
doors or in an open shed.
Did you realize a lot of people would like to
create things out of papier mache? What a
mess, but to see figures of animals or'Fairy
Tale characters of any kind take shape is a
real thrill - and these could be created now.
' One lady, years ago, got so fed up with the
"no time" answers, that she took it upon
herself to do something about it. Besides
having people making hats and things for
elves - Santa's helpers, she even bought him
a decent suit, beard and all, then the
reindeer as well to make make a fine
showing. ,
It was fairly close to float time when this
all happened but it couldn't be helped. The
whole thing was finished in time by others
:•..,E (War the sewing - and other work.
This could have been started earlier if she
had known that no one was planning on nice
interesting floats. There was more interest
after that for awhile - but it has once again
bogged down - or so it seems.
The parade is really for the kids - ask
them what they would like to see. Some of
-this work. could even be started at,
playgrounds or at schddl - they are all eager
to learn. So let's think about it now and come
up with some ideas• - soon.
I have recently meta so many people I
haven't seen in a long time •'"'`. also my son
Doug, Madiiine and their three grand-
children artivetl in Kingsville _from Florida
this week. David one of the twins said ex-
citedly - "I have seen my first mountain, my
first maple tree and we brought an inflatible
boat too." I just hope they have a good an-
chor and a long rope. Hate to see them°get
lost on Lake Erie.
Last Friday some older folks from Clinton
° Were in and Mamie Sutcliffe was with them.
I wasao glad to see her and she looks pretty
. well, She was very bright and her great
Mile choked me,up. , t
She asked if I remembered our trip to
Ehgland and Spain - (back in the 70's)" and
went to Africa, to she said. •"011, -.you
couldn't have g to Africa," I said. "Yes -
you didn't go win we went to Gibraltar and
other places!" I had gone to Lisbon in
Portugal.
tier mind is so good and she remembered
dancing and singing for us. Isn't that
wonderful. Over 90 and still remembers.
1 knew many of you would like to know.
Love you all -
