Fundraising Kickoff

Tomorrow is fundraising kickoff of Gilda's Club.
If you're in the area, stop by.

I really have gotten nothing done today. Yesterday was a long day, while thoroughly enjoyable, I am in rest & recoup mode today. I seaming though, so all is not for nought.

It's coming!!

The KW Knitters Fair is just two more sleeps away!! SQUEE!!!! One of the premier and knittingly-exclusive shows in Southern Ontario, it is not to be missed if you knit!!

I will be going with Helen. She is my Keeper and Head Nurse these days. Her status as Protector is trumped only by Petey.
I'll be at the Needle Emporium booth for a bit - who could resist?!? Check out Julie's blog for a heads up on what she'll be bringing with.
If you're going and want to meet up in the AM, text me or FB message me.

My Stitch Surfers have stalled; I've been diligently working on the Mock Cape. Body pieces are blocking.


I love the smell of wet wool!! Seriously.I'm targeting having it done for the Fair, and you know about me and deadlines.

I am still napping () most every day unless appts interfere. The puppies are still in mosey mode with me.
The pain is seriously so much better!! I still have crampy days; things are still healing/settling and any kind of abdominal effort - too much walking, sneezing, not knowing how much something weighs - can kick off spotting and pain. So I see, feel, and obey.
I just started driving, (being given the medical permission), and am being sparing with that as well since, as I drive a standard, the clutching does put some stress on my abdomen, so carefully I go.

I have booked a hair cut through Canada Cuts for Gilda's. There are various salons participating throughout the GTA, supporting Gilda's GTA & Gilda's Simcoe-Muskoka.
Get a great cut at a special price for a great cause. Help me keep the promise that no one faces cancer alone!!

Warm Hands Network

I met Anita & Amy at the Hilton on Thursday night. They were sitting and talking with friends and when they were taking pictures of each other I asked if they'd like me to take a picture of them together. They remarked on my knitting and invited me to join them. We talked, ate, drank and knit - I knit squares for the Warm Hands Network that night.

Dilys - thank you so much! I had no idea you had included me (I didn't want to presume) so I didn't thank you. I was hoping to see you at the show, but I hope that you'll read this.

They invited Joan to join them at the booth and she did. She and Joyce hit it right off.

The strips of knitting and crocheting that were done at the Fastest Knitter booth were donated to the Warm Hands Network, so all of my practicing is going to a good cause.
