Dallas Road View

brrrrrrrrrrr.....snow snow snow and more snow...6 inches of it is on my balcony!! This picture was taken yesterday from the 10th floor of a condo complex on Dallas Rd. Victoria BC facing the breakwater....absolutely beautiful....notice that there is NO traffic.
You know I'm very involved with BlanketsForCanada....reading this mornings paper I note that the shelters were well used..that means our blankets got used!!! Would loved to have had a picture of the recipients 'under cover'!

My siblings..

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Covered in snow...

4:15am Sunday 12-14-08 rain/snow/it's beautiful and fresh outside...people out walking on the street...this makes it feel like Christmas!

EXCUSE ME..what is this white stuff on my deck??

What the heck is going on...who put this white stuff on my plants!?
Thank goodness I made it home before the snow hit...won't be
using my car until it disappears...good night!

Breakfast at Samuels

Breakfast at Samuel's...

I'll have some of this and this and this..... Charlotte & Aunty

Christopher with hoody he sewed.
OK!!! this is great...

YES!! chocolate is my favourite! Charlotte sewed her hoodie too!!

THREE days of store demos...handing out FREE Lindt chocolates...what a job!! everyone loves to see me...can't complain!! Life is good.

Angel Square For BlanketsForCanada

I knit another square with the angel design..this time is used a black metallic yarn with the red yarn when it came to the angel design..this is very effective. When I showed it to my knitting friends, they initially thought the black was done in beads!! I would like to see each blanket carry one of these squares.. we have made over 120 blankets since August lst, 2008...and the call for more 'warmth for the homeless' is never ending.

Kellogg's Straws...made from cereal

I did my store demo at WalMart in Langford yesterday AND Saturday...Kellogg's Straws...cereal formed into straws..kids drink their milk thru them..then eat the straws!! (Hot chocolate with Baileys would work for the parents!?? great stocking stuffers!!)

There were people all over the place CONSTANTLY ...add Santa being at the store to an already busy preChristmas shopping weekend...it was such fun. THEN Santa walked thru the store and gave me a high-five...WHERE WAS MY CAMERA!!!!

The expressions on the faces of the children that he 'high fived' melted my heart. They will talk about that for the rest of their lives...'guess who high fived me?".....'ooooh sure...tell me another one!"...
