tuesdays toils

well today i had to go back to the dentist as when he fixed my tooth last week, it was a bit high and seemed to be pressing on a nerve this weekend which about drove me through the roof lol after i got done there i went and drooled over some yarn at a place called artco. omg they have the most awesome of yarns. is like e-bay in one store, and as i was drooling i saw a flyer that said that if you brought a hat into the store, either knit or crocheted the store would give you a coupon for 5.00. which is enough to buy some of that yummmmmmy yarn Lol so next week when i have to go back to the dentist i will take a hat in and get my 5.00 off. hehehehe, i would have donated anyways as it is sort of like caps for kids type thing, is for people who are not as fortunet as i am. so am not going to make just one hat for the 5.00 coupon. no sir, am going to try and make about 5 or 6, and no i don;t get a coupon for each hat. only the first. also today was talking to my boss about how we could help the victims of hurricane katrina and we thought up a ways that anyone who crochets or knits can do. this year for the warm up america, we have decided that we are going to donate the blankets to the people of our own community. also we will be having a little "social" where you can make hats, scarves whatever. these folks coming here are not use to our weather here in washington state which gets kind of cold as many of you know. so that along with my other pet places to give this year will help any one that i can including myself,. i get such satisfaction from helping others. i still need to make some more animals as i have given all the ones i made away already to the police and fire departments. so am hoping to maybe get some done soon. and also was thinking, what about the children, maybe i could help them too, by making them a little lovey stuffed animal. i challenge anyone who is reading this to try and make a difference to someone less fortunet than yourself. even if it is something small, tonight i heard on the news about this mom who was so upset about the fact that there were tiny babies, and children who had nothing, not even clean diapers so she started accepting donations, last week, tomorrow 3 big semi trucks leave for the south. i think it is wonderful how people want to help. after all it could be us some day. there is no where in the country that is "disaster resistant" we here in washington face many disasters that could happen as i know other states do to. well enough of my ramblings. i hope ya all had a great weekend. i spent mine finishing up 2 ponchos i made , i designed the pattern myself and am going to try and get it published some where. would be awesome.am almost done with my coming home poncho for my class next week. i have a lady who has a friend who is going to sign up for my class as well as 2 people tomorrow. wooooohooooo yipeeeee LOL, till tomorrow my friends. hugggggs
