Busy day for Mrs Twins!

Hi Everyone! (again)

I'm so busy today with lots of Squares arriving! I am having to make the Slide Shows when I can. The Slide Show provider has been running so slow......... The weather has been dreadful. I'm been unable to get a crack on with the photos. I pop out into the Garden whenever it stops raining.... and I do so want nice photos for you all! I just love taking the photos and making you your Slide Show! So when I'm unable to take the photos, I'm unable to put them on Flickr, then I am unable to make your Slide Show. I wish I knew a way to put them straight onto Slide.com without loading them all to Flickr but I don't 'as yet'. But you know this is all a 'learning curve' so I might just crack that soon!

Please go back posts there is a lot to read. I have had a busy day here on SIBOL it's been great fun! I also want to suss out to put something at the top of my blog, but as yet unable to do that either. I need to scan something which you 'may think appropriate!'. We'll wait and see if I can do it first..... I need Mr. Twins to help me with the Scanner. I don't know how to do that yet! He did write the instructions down for me BUT I've lost the bit of paper. I did phone him up at work, he did tell me. But it goes in one ear and out the other! I'm a bit thick!

Anyway, dear Wanda from Puerto Rico has made me Squares before......It is always such a pleasure to hear from her. Today she sent me a bumper collection of Squares, so appropriate once again for the themes. I am so....loving the SIBOL experience! How ever did I fill my day before?

Here's Wandas' Slide Show. 'Showcasing her beautiful Squares!' - enjoy everyone!

I'm sure you all loved the Squares ....... and then we have 'Sabiha' who has very kindly been 'team blogging' with us! She has really been enjoying doing the Squares for SIBOL. We've had some nice emails too, thank you Sabiha. I took some photos in my home in the end because the weather has been so tempremental, even when the rain stopped the sky was pretty dark out there.
Here's your Slide Show showcasing your Squares! Enjoy!

Such pretty Squares, 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!

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!
