Christmas Gifts arrive for the Elderly.

Good morning to you all!

A lovely surprise this morning from uomalley, thank you so much!

We have a beautiful Knitted Shawl, a warm Scarf and some lovely hats.

I would also like to thank uomalley for the donation of Ribbon which will be very useful to us.

A pretty Butterfly card too how lovely!

uomalley the Shawl and Knitted items will be very useful to the Residents in Homes. Very often
they help out with Gardening and also go out on outings to various places. It will be lovely for the Homes to have these items to keep their Residents warm. Let's hope it's not too cold this year.

Your work is amazing I think the Shawl is so...pretty. Thank you very much for your kind words too about our 'SIBOL' project. They are very much appreciated. If you would like to pop over to her Blog here's the LINK.

May I remind you all please that Sunshine Blankets, Shawls and Knitted items must be with me by end of November. I will be going out to the Homes early December this year.

We will be around next year for Sunshine Blankets and Shawls so please feel free to carry on Knitting and Crocheting for our Care Homes.

My email address is

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

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!
