New Year Butterflies from the Netherlands.

Annetjehh please contact me thank you. Sue on sueatpigsty@talktalk.net

Good afternoon,

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year. I do hope you all enjoyed the Christmas Holidays. Well it's 2nd January today the start of a New Year once again. I am pleased to say I am
now accepting Blankets again ready to deliver to local Homes in my area. So if you are ready to send one please contact me for my address.

My email address is sueatpigsty@talktalk.net (I'm Sue).

As you know I have a Square Stop on at the moment which means I am not accepting any Squares only made up Blankets to save on postage costs. But saying this it will take a few weeks for this to start happening as Squares are still arriving because of the Holiday period. Today I received a Granny Square from Annetjehh in the Netherlands. This will be great to put in a Man's Blanket and Annetjehh has also included some pretty Butterflies. So dainty and such pretty colours.

They will look lovely on our Blankets. Here's the Link for the Butterflies.

Annetjehh could you contact me please I can't find your email address many thanks.

To read about what we are doing this year would you like to pop over to SIBOL CHALLENGES?
Thank you!

I think that's all for now,

Thanks for popping by.

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.

All details are on

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

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!
