Square contest, amongst other things

I've been keeping myself busy, and productive! I was surprised when I realized that I haven't posted since the 5th. So here we go.

I have my box for the Dulaan Project ready to go. I am dropping it off today. This is what is in the box...



They are blogged here, here and here. I was so happy to accomplish 12 by my self imposed shipping date.

I have also been knitting squares. I finished 3 last week, and another 3 last night. I also finished one this morning and cast on for another right away. I will have the opportunity to do a lot of knitting in the car this weekend, and I think I will pretty much dedicate it to squares.

So, officially, I declare 6 squares done for the contest, as these are the ones I have posted.

Come check out the blog for other stuff I'm working on.

New June Goal...because you slaughtered the old one!!!!

Good afternoon (evening, morning, whatev!). It is that time again. Yes, as you know we blew that goal for June out of the water before the end of the first week of June. We picked up a lot of new members last month and there is a lot of buzz about this community and we appreciate every bit of it. Thank you for all of your charitable works.

As of now, we are at 756 items total. 336 of those were donated to a variety of places in the month of May. Thank you Thank you thank you!

So where do we go from here?? Well, building on the success of months past ... 1200 at the end of June! I know you think I am crazy. And I probably am, but I have a plan and I think we can do it. That is 444 more items this month and I totally think we can do it! That will put us at 40% of our total yearly goal! Half way through the year! I remember when we didn't think we would hit 300 items. I am SO pleased that there are so many out there donating their time, money and goods to so many places.

Don't forget, the Dulaan project deadline is coming up. Read more about it here.

AND there will be a community contest coming up! Yes, folks, as soon as I work out the details we are having a contest. So you can win STUFF! What stuff? Well, I am working some of that out as I am but one little crafter, but the grand prize is something we can all get excited about! If you have something you would like to donate as a prize, let me know. I plan to have all the details worked out and posted next week. weeeeeee!
