'Yet another Shawl arrives!'

Hi everyone!

Well Shawls keep arriving at my home I'm very pleased to say and now I have another one which goes in my box ready to take out at the beginning of December.

This one has arrived from 'jenn1feranne' up in Scotland and once again this is such a pretty pattern.
I had to try it on as I do all the Shawls and I must say it really sits so comfortable on the shoulders.

Here it is.

Here's the LINK over to 'jenn1ferannes' project page on RAVELRY.

Made in beautiful sparkly yarn this is going to be so well

received at one of the Homes.

I can't thank you enough 'jenn1feranne'.

It's gorgeous!

A late parcel has arrived today. It went to my neighbour while I had popped out.

Inside were three Blankets.

The Squares were sent by Jodie in France who runs the Guide Group.

The young Guides received a badge for making them.

I think this is superb!

I'm sure you will agree the Blankets have come out really well and I would like to

thank Sally for assembling them for me.

Let's take a look now.

They will be loved in the Homes thanks everyone!

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!
