Another day in the paradise of Aberdeen: the weather is grey and miserable and I'm full of cold but despite everything I have high spirits...
There has been a flurry of activity on my MyDonate page since my last post and I'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has donated their hard earned cash to the cause! I can assure you that it is going to a fantastic charity and will help children all around the world - if you don't believe me then have a look for yourself!
I counted up the bucket from the fundraising pub crawl last week and in total I made a fantastic £96.15! That's more than I would have ever imagined for relatively little hard work and I am now aiming to reach the £500 mark by Christmas... fingers crossed!
I may even make my target if my next venture goes well.
Just to prove that I'm not shirking from hard work during my fundraising campaign I am very happy to be finally advertising my first ever craft stall! It will take place at Alfie's Cafe in Butchart Centre (UoA) from 12:30 till 4pm next Tuesday - 11th December - with all profits going towards my collecting for Childreach International!
And lastly, in a mad rush to finish the second of Jamie's custom Christmas orders before he heads back to Montréal for the holidays... I am about half way through a loose-knit shawl in a beautiful hand-spun purple silk and merino blend from Ashford, hoping to finish it in the next couple of days which gives me chance to make a few more wee items for the stall as well.
Getting excited already!
Current Total: £345
