Secondly, I'd like to also extend a GIANT THANK YOU!!! to those people who have donated money so far. We went from $0 to $150 overnight and seeing those emails from PayPal telling me that there have been donations reduced me to tears yesterday. You donators are angels and it means more to me than I could ever hope to express that you've given your hard-earned money to help my family out. But we're not out of the woods yet, so keep Tweeting and sending the notice out on Facebook, Pinterest, your blogs, whatever you can do. It's so appreciated!
In other, more crocheting news, this weekend was a pretty busy one for me. I continued work on my Klimt socks, some ice roses for another Nerd Wars challenge, and found time to make some cool little drawstring bags and one half of a pair of slippers for Girl Child.
The blue and yellow bag is a little makeup bag that matches my new purse (photos of that when I get it back from my MIL, who is currently lining it for me because as we all know, I am sewing impaired) and the brown one is for The Man, who needed accessories for his monk costume, something he wears every Hallowe'en and to the Renaissance Festival every year as well.
The slippers were a spur of the moment thing. Girl Child was complaining of cold feet yesterday so I decided to raid the Yarn Box and came up with yellow and brown yarn that sort of reminds me of Bananas Foster. Plus yellow is one of her favourite colours and I have lots of brown left over so voila! Half a pair of Bananas Foster Slippers. I have to wait to borrow her feet to make sure they fit before making the other one.
