'Crochet keeps our hands busy so our minds can rest. It is a gift to help quiet the world around us, if even for a moment. To create -- and think of those we create for --is a quiet prayer of hope, love and dreams all wrapped up in a hook, a book and a ball of yarn. Author Anonymous. Thanks Cynthia.

Delivery Day is here again!

Good Morning to you all,

Over the past few weeks I have been getting the 'Sunshine Blankets' ready for another delivery. I had 27 in total when I took the photo but late last night I managed to finish the Butterfly Blanket too so that was a total of 28.

I'm very pleased to be telling you that I took 28 'Sunshine Blankets' to Alexandra House, Olton this morning.

Here's some photos if you want to have a look at the home please  follow the link. They actually have 36 Residents in their main home but also have Residents in Sheltered accommodation too. It was a pleasure to be able to tell Jamiel - The Residental Care Home Manager  about our work and show her the beautiful Blankets. She loved them and thanks you all.

Also a big thank you to 
Great Balls of Wool
for the donation of Ribbon and yarn.
Here's the link to her beautiful Blog.

The Ribbon will be  very useful thank you!


I would also like to thank MarilynJG for assembling two beautiful Blankets for me.
Unfortunately, they didn't quite make today's delivery.
I found them in the porch when I got back this morning.

Marilyn has used a beautiful joining method and it really gives both Blankets a delicate feminine feel to them I think. I love the Squares too in the Blankets thanks to everyone who sent in Squares for these Blankets.
