Happy 4th of July!

To all of our friends South of the border, Happy 4th of July! We hope you all are celebrating your country surrounded by family and friends today! Stay safe and enjoy your holiday, everyone!!

To all of our Canadian friends, we hope you had a wonderful long weekend celebrating Canada's 145th birthday!! I (Em) celebrated at the Fredericton, NB Canada Day block party with a free concert!!! The headliner, Joel Plaskett ( a fellow Maritimer), put on a fantastic show!! I think I sang along to just about every song he played!! Canada Day was spent with my Aunt, Uncle, Hubby, and Daughter... it was perfect!!

Joel Plaskett performing!

My first attempt at photographing fireworks! Sadly I'd forgotten my tripod, but managed to get a couple of nice shots!

I am working on more tutus, and will be uploading photos soon!! We have something special coming in the month of July, so watch out for it... we are excited!! :)

Most of all, we are VERY excited that Angela will be coming to NB for a vacation this month!!! So, expect to see some very CUTE photos of the cousins (Princess, Monkey, & Little E) meeting for the first time! We will be hitting the beach, spending a ton of time together, and crafting!!

Happy Wednesday All,

Em :)

Happy Saturday!

I woke today to a cloudy, but really beautiful morning! We had an unbelievable thunderstorm last night that lasted for about an hour... summer is definitely here and that thunderstorm certainly cooled the air down from yesterday. As I write this now, the cloud is clearing and Sun is coming out! What a beautiful day it's going to be here in NB.

We will be adding some new items to our shop this weekend, the popsicle/freezie pop kozies and tutus in the colours suggested by our Facebook fans! Thanks again for all of the beautiful suggestions, expect to see these creations come to life in the coming weeks!

Tomorrow is Canada Day and it will be spent in Fredericton at the Canada Day Block Party! I am really looking forward to it as it is my baby girl, Little E's, first Canada Day!! She will proudly be sporting a Canadian Tutu, Eh at least once during the day... watch for a picture on our Facebook group!

In case I don't make it onto the computer tomorrow, I just want to take a couple of lines to wish all of our Canadian friends a safe and Happy Canada Day! So, have a poutine, a Timbit, some extra maple syrup on your pancakes, a nanaimo bar, or something else truly Canadian to celebrate our nation's 145th birthday!! Enjoy your long weekend, everyone!!!

Cheers, eh!

Emily :)

Relay for Life

We are lucky enough to support a fantastic cause this weekend by making donations of our handmade creations to Team Believe for an auction being held at the Relay for Life in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Taken from the Relay for Life website Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life The Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life is more than just a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to get together with family and friends and celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back in the hope of finding a cure for this terrible disease. Relay is fun, fulfilling, and your participation gives strength to our mission to eradicate cancer. Walk with us in this inspirational 12-hour overnight event as we come together and fight to make cancer history. The Relay for Life is a wonderful fundraiser that we are proud to support. We have donated a tutu, two beanies with hair clips, and a crochet headband with interchangeable appliqués.

Yarn Head Gear

Little PINK Thread began with yarn head gear: handmade crochet items, mainly hats but also dabbling into appliques, barefoot sandals, headbands, and other items. I will begin by saying that the crocheting is self-taught, in addition to lessons given by our Great Grandmother (Great-Gram). Angela is the crochet queen, she is so talented in this craft that it amazes me! I (Emily) have recently been taught by our Mom, but am still struggling with learning... it will come with practice though! So, this post will showcase Angela's creations...I know that Angela gets her inspiration from her children, her Princess and her Monkey! And, I know how much pride she takes in her crochet creations... they are beautiful. I remember the first hat that I got was a hot pink owl hat and I got so many compliments on that hat; strangers would stop me when I was downtown and tell me "nice hat, where can I get one!". It is one of my favourite hats to wear, even now!

So, without further ado... here are some photos showcasing my sister's talent!!

If you see something you like and want to learn more, please check us out at our Little PINK Thread store on Storenvy, or our Facebook Page!! Angela is creating new items all the time, so stay tuned for more posts showcasing her talents!!!
