Rebecca Ringquist teaches straight stitches before moving onto decorative and knotted stitches, including the elusive French knot. Along the way, she offers tips for smooth embroidery and examples from her stitched artwork as inspiration.

ISO Private Swim Instructor for 6 year old
by Nicholas Delphia 29 Jun '22

29 Jun '22

Greetings Neighbors, The pandemic impacted the availability of swim lessons greatly and the result is that my soon-to-be-first-grader can't swim :( . I'm looking for someone with experience in teaching children to swim that can work with my 6 year old son this summer. Preference for lessons taking place outside (we do not have our own pool, so would need to meet somewhere) We are traveling some this summer, so the sooner we could start, the better. Please email if you are interested and we can get the conversation started, Nick ndelphia(a)gmail.com

We’re happy to have you as our friends, neighbors and family. I have a trans child, and while parts of the world can be very scary and dangerous for trans individuals (and other people “under the rainbow”), our friends and neighbors in Highland Park have been nothing but supportive and loving. Wouldn’t it be something if everyone felt respected and welcomed wherever they went? We can at least continue to try and make that a reality in our little corner of the world. June was hopping here in the neighborhood! The HPCC brought back several events and hosted multiple community meetings (more about that, below). To paraphrase author Dan Simmons: “The beauty of that June was almost staggering.” May your summer continue to be full of beauty.
