Can I buy the hair canvas and some buckles and straps from you? They don't sell the canvas at Joann's in Bellingham, and I'd have to drive out to Richmond for it. Then over to Coquitlam for buckles!

Yep, we have hair canvas and buckles and straps....

I am planning to walk on the ferry at Tsawassen, and buy a ticket on the ferry for the bus that goes into Victoria. I plan to arrive Saturday afternoon, and would be very grateful if someone would be able to pick me up from the bus depot and take me to the kilt shop. My accomodations are very close to the shop, so I will be able to walk back & forth easily.

Someone should be able to pick you up at the bus depot. Send a note (if you have not already done so) to bobbie@freedomkilts.com, indicating time.

Heh, you can always paddle over for one of the evening events!

- wish I could, but have to go to Physio 3 times a week, and paddling across would be a wee bit difficult - one armed paddling makes sailor go in circles

Hi Jhockin, Sorry that we will not see you at KiltKamp.

If you decide you want to come over for just a night, I am sure we can find a space to sleep in our house...it would likely be a sofa bed, but the fee is reasonable (your company!). I could always pick you up at the bus station....

Hope the arm is doing better...!

Very generous offer, and greatly appreciated Bobbie. ( we'll have to see) thanks.

I haven't gotten around to making my leather thimbles yet. Hope to get a few done in time. I have thin steel strips, about as wide as my large-ish fingers, plenty of leather, like half a hide, both in pure white and brown, and some glue. I don't have a hot glue gun, as Barb uses, but I did get some general purpose glue at the hardware store that is supposed to be both very strong and flexible. I you're having a problem with thimbles, let me know and I'll bring stuff to make them, as I have plenty of material -- unless someone else already has this base covered.

Less than a week to Kilt Kamp! Steve and I were at the shop getting the spreadsheet organized for transporting people..... Two trips (possibly three) to the airport (sigh, everyone is coming in at a different time!), two trips to the bus depot, one trip to the COHO ferry downtown. We have stocked up on necessities for the shop -- coffee, kilt making supplies, toilet paper, Harlan-and-Okiwen-wacking sticks (to make them behave), interesting other beverages, .... We have laid out the rooms and phew - all the tables and chairs will fit. The neighbourhood has been alerted to the invasion, and the machine guru, Bill Murray, is going to stop by and tune up the sewing machines ("Minerva is getting cranky."). I think we are ready...

I have no idea what the problem is. Harlan is well behaved and almost house-broken.

Great news Bobbie. I'm really looking forward to it. If it helps, my suitcase has wheels, so if the airport is uphill than the shop I can ride it downtown. (Hmmm, I'm thinking you might need another stick.)

I can see it now.....strange out-of-towners, riding suitcases into Victoria down the Pat Bay Highway. It would make the local news show!
