Bramley Grove Care Home - Delivery day!

Good Morning to you all!

Thanks very much for popping in to the 'SIBOL' Blog this morning.

I'm very pleased to be telling you that this morning I have visited Bramley Grove Care Home in Birmingham to deliver 36 Sunshine Blankets and 20 Shawls.

These ones too that arrived yesterday.

1113 - Kate thank you such a pretty Sunshine Blanket.

Over the past few months I have been getting them ready with pretty Butterflies and Ribbons and today was the day that I could finally take them out to a home. Due to family commitments and our holiday I haven't had much chance over the past few weeks. I'm sure you will agree the Sunshine Blankets will certainly make lovely Gifts for the Residents and will certainly be the topic of conversation for many days to come.

Both Crocheted and Knitted Blankets are always so well received in the homes. They are a great size and have many uses. Not only can they be used while sitting in a chair they can also be used on top of a bed. What a lovely Gift for someone.

The Staff at Bramley Grove Care Home today were extremely grateful to you all for the Blankets and Shawls. Admiring them greatly this morning when I took them in and they just couldn't believe the work that had gone in to them. Amazed too that I have support from all over the world. So a Big thank you from them and also myself.

Everyone in the home will be able to receive one of our Sunshine Blankets

and they also have a Nursing Home on site so I asked Natasha on the left if they would like some too.

She said they would be able to use some so if you want to make a Sunshine Blanket and send it to me please do not hesitate to contact me or even pop over to

SIBOL CHALLENGES

which gives you all the information you will need.

When arriving back home this morning after visiting the home I found these Sunshine Blankets in my porch. They have arrived from Gill. Made so beautifully and such great designs I will keep these for my next delivery.

Thank you very much once again Gill.

I'm only sorry you've missed today's delivery!

Nevermind next time.

Fabulous designs and colours.

I love them!

Please Note.

Donations of Sunshine Blankets/Shawls/Butterflies can be accepted between these dates.

1st March to 30th November 2016. Thank you.

I am often asked if there are 'collection points' around the country. Some Ladies find the cost of postage too expensive. There is a way round this. Why not make your Sunshine Blanket and donate it to your 'local' Care Home? If you want to contact me for a a pdf 'label' I will willingly send it to you. You can do this on behalf of our Group 'SIBOL' if that would help you. On the understanding that you would send me a photo of your blanket and the name of the Home where you have donated it to. I can then count this in to our totals.

Lists of Care Homes are available by contacting me.

This would be a great way of getting Sunshine Blankets to the Elderly in other parts of the country and not just 'Birmingham'.

If I can help you please contact me

I'm Sue on sueatpigsty@virginmedia.com

Thank you.

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!
