Need Framing? Head to Jeannette’s Needlecraft Shoppe

Sunday, June 5th, 2016

Head to Jeannettes Needlecraft  Shoppe, a friendly family business and they will frame your special hand-made project, or a painting, lithograph, photograph or diploma at 15% off.

Now, during this sale, it is the time to take those finished projects (be they needle work or art work) that you worked on  this past year and get them ready for gifting. A gift done by hand is one that shows that you truly care. Your effort is displayed in each hand sewn stitch or stroke of your paint brush.

A quick gift idea: Try a  “stitch n’ zip” kit; These are ready to use eye glass cases, iPad cases, Kindle cases and tallis bags. The kits come pre-assembled. All you have to do is the needlepoint and then just zip it up and give it as a gift. You can have a tallis bag personalized with an embroidered Hebrew name too.

They also carry scarf yarns (Pirouette, Bohemian and Decor by Patons), to make the latest fashion accessory item as well as other low cost items that will tempt you to start those projects that you have being putting off.

If you want to start on a needlework project, here you can buy yarn and canvases. They can also upholster with needlepoint (especially chairs), finish cushions and mount tapestries.

Happily helping you with your project has been the #1 reason people keep coming back to this shop for years and years.

Social Studies at Centaur Allows you to Laugh Through a Moving Story

Saturday, November 8th, 2014

In the play “Social Studies”, now playing at the Centaur Theatre, you are invited into Val’s (Jane Wheeler) home. She has two
daughters, 16-year-old Sarah, played perfectly by newcomer Emily Tognet, and an older daughter Jackie who unexpectedly shows up at home distraught after breaking up with her husband of seven years. Eleanor Noble, who hits the right notes playing the overly excitable Jackie, is surprised to learn that her Mom has given her old room to a young man from Sudan.

The first time playwright, Tricia Cooper, has taken a difficult subject of the 20,000 lost boys who were orphaned and displaced during the 1983-2005 Sudanese War and made it quite palatable for the general public – it’s a comedy which makes you think. She writes from a place of knowledge, as her own mother did the same thing.

Unusually, the director, Paul Van Dyck, was a “lost Canadian boy” in Sudan when families there took him in, so he too has added a real perspective to the saga. The hook of using Sarah as narrator to tell the story to her high school class gives depth to the background of the Sudanese story,  i.e. “92% of these boys have been shot at”.

Jane Wheeler’s spot-on Val – do-gooder, self-righteous Mom – has given a safe haven to Deng (played amazing by Jaa Smith-Johnson), who had wandered barefoot across Africa. She protects him fiercely, even over and above the needs of her own daughters.

So there you sit as the arbiter of who or what is right and wrong as the plot deftly moves from daughter to daughter to “son” to Mom. You watch as the cultures clash and the generations clash, as this black orphan man who comes from such different social mores has to cope with a middle class white family in Winnipeg. The ending is not what you would expect.

Montreal connections: We can be proud that Emily Tognet is a graduate of the Concordia University Fine Arts program, Jaa Smith-Johnson is a graduate of Dawson’s Professional Theatre Program and Eleanor Noble is one of Montreal’s own.

Canadian Museum of History (formerly Civilization) Fun for Whole Family

Monday, January 13th, 2014

The swooping architecture of the building and jaw-dropping 17 metre-high domed ceiling of Canada Hall are visions you will not easily forget after you have visited the newly named Canadian Museum of History, which covers Canadian life from AD 1000 to 2000.

Instead of complaining about the snow piled up on our streets, from now until Sept 28, 2014,  go enjoy the informative exhibit about Snow and the ingenious ways in which we Canadians have adapted to our difficult winter conditions, from sleighs to snow removal. You can participate in a fun quiz at the end.

The museum is a playground for all, as the Children’s Museum takes the kids on travels around the world – including a passport to stamp in each country. All kinds of imaginative play from driving a bus, motorcycle, ship or camel to running a shop, putting on a puppet show, living in a pyramid, moving heavy boxes using a winch, or booking a trip can all be tried out.

In the main galleries, visitors see a Viking family arriving in Newfoundland around AD 1000,  discover New France through a farmhouse, inn, hospital, shoemaker’s shop and visit a voyageur camp, a lumber camp, a Métis campsite, British military living quarters and a Maritime shipyard. There’s a stroll past shops  along the main street of a small town in late 19th-century Ontario.

Learn about life in a turn-of-the-century prairie railway station and yard, a Saskatchewan grain elevator, an authentic Ukrainian church, a Chinese hand laundry and a 1920s Alberta oil derrick. You can even sit in Yellowknife’s Wildcat Cafe, the town’s first restaurant and a popular gathering spot for prospectors, bush pilots, miners and trappers.

If you love animals, leave time for the up close and personal movie, Kenya 3-D about a safari through Africa.

Q&A: Cooling Vest and Laptop/Camera Knapsack

Friday, August 30th, 2013

Q: I am going to Africa and looking for a cooling vest.  As well I am looking to purchase a laptop/camera knapsack.  Any assistance is very much appreciated.  Thank you.

A:  I see a few companies online but I have not bumped in to them here. I might try Mountain Equipment Coop on l’Acadie or for the specialty laptop/camera knapsack, ask at the specialty travel accessories store: Jet-setter, 66 Laurier O. Or try the big camera store LL Loiseau on St Hubert St.
