Done it again!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!

Well SIBOL has definitely gone 'GLOBAL' today!! I'm so...pleased. I sent an email to 'Crochet Today' about SIBOL months ago! I was replying to a Charity article they had written Well.....Dutzie over on Flickr has just sent me a Flickr mail to say that they have printed my letter. I was trying to get that 'Star Letter' once again, but once again I didn't quite make it!!! It doesn't matter though, I'm pleased they've printed the Letter.

It mentions I had made '17 Blankets!'. I know that seems just ages ago!!!! Well we've definitely moved on from there! 53 now. OOh, how exciting!!! I shall have to wait for W.H. Smith to receive their copies they are always much later.

OOh Dutzie thank you for telling me and also roomontheleft, very much appreciated.

SIBOL Squares From Australia By Annette Young.

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!
