Mondays News! UP-DATED! Slide Show.

Hi Everyone!

First of all I have to say I am having problems with my internet connection. If I go quiet you know why! The Engineers are working on it. It is working less that 2% internet speed which is really so slow. Therefore, I am having problems opening emails and web sites. Unfortunately!

Unfortunately, because I am very pleased to say Rachel Choi ' Crochet Spot' Weekly Update has featured my article in her Weekly Update. There is also an interesting article which might interest friends of mine ! 'Do all Crocheters Have Cats?' So if you are a Cat Lover please check it out.

I have already had a few people contact me. I am doing my best to answer on my i phone. So please bear with me. If I don't answer you within a couple of days please email me again. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I would like to thank Rachel very much for featuring my article on her web site! I hope you will check it out.

Thank you to all the new enquiries I've had today about 'SIBOL'. I know there are many who are really enjoying our blog!

Hugs Sue

UP-DATED Tuesday!

Sorry I couldn't get some Squares on yesterday. Pol at MSE Knitting Forum sent me some really 'sunny' Squares yesterday.

Pol at MSE (UK) Thanks so much for these beautiful 'sun' themed squares! Girls put your sun glasses on definitely for these! Thank you!

Aren't they bright Ladies! I hope we are getting our Sun glasses out ready! Won't be long now. Deadline for the 'sun' theme is tomorrow. Although as we have had trouble with planes, and volcanoes if any come in late they will be used, don't worry.

Gorgeous Squares do we all agree? I'll proabably have enough for three blankets.

If you are on Flickr, it's probably best to contact me on that for now, until I get my internet problem sorted. Mr. Twin is going to ring up again tonight to see what's going on. They told us it would be three days. Well the three days are up tonight! So I think a phone call is in order. I can't open up any emails on the pc at the moment. Web-surfing is very, very slow. I can't get to read the blogs it's taking a mission, sorry. I can get on here, just about.

Thank you!

Welcome to 'SIBOL'

Hi I'm Sue,

Married with Twin Daughters.

I live in the UK.

With the help of my on-line friends we

are making and donating Sunshine Blankets

to Elderly Residents in Care/Nursing Homes.

Would you like to help us?

We no longer accept Squares but we do accept

your Crocheted and Knitted Blankets. We also

accept Knitted and Crocheted Shawls.

My address is only available by email.

Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

All details are on

www.sibolchallenges.blogspot.com

The project was started in Memory of my

Grandmother.

Thank you!

Important Notices

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
