Red Nose Day



It was decided amongst a few of us that we would try and raise some money for Red Nose Day. We had a dress down day for which if you wore denim you paid £1.50 entry fee and if you wore an item of clothing that was red you paid £1.00 entry fee, this kicked off the day to a good start as by about 9.30 am we had raised about £70.00. A few of us ladies who are into cooking got together and made a selection of cakes and sold them at various prices per slice throughout the day. We also had organised a hunt the red nose, of which 80 carboard red noses had been hidden around the office, it was quite fun to watch everyone wander around the building pretending to be working but looking for the hiding places, there were 80 red noses to collect and you paid a further £1.00 to enter into the fun, the first and second prizes were a bottle of wine. There was also a bonus ball lotto organised where you picked a number of your choice from 1 to 49 for a fee of £1.00, the money collected was split into a donation to our red nose fund and the remainder is the prize money for the number that matches the bonus ball on the national lottery tonight. In total we raised I think it was £165.00 and we all had a lot of fun. Here is a picture of the selection of cakes that were on sale.

My first project to show off

Hello everyone its been a while since I last left a post, I have been busy trying to finish a few things off so I can show them off, unfortunately, I am limited to when I can go on the Internet as I have to share it with my son son when he is at home I don't get a look in. He is at work today so he has graciously let me have access.

Anyway down to the real reason why I am here today, I have finally finished the throw I was making, I have made it our of Denim Ultra in the cappuccino shade, which was difficult to get hold of enough of in the end as it has now been discontinued. I knitted 24 16" x 16" squares in garter stitch, I kept it basic as it knits up to chunky. What way to snuggle down in an afternoon with a good book on a miserable day.

Well, I am off now to pursue another pass time of mine, baking, I haven't done any in a while so thought it was about time I got back into it. See you soon.

Well hi everyone thought I would try and have another go at doing some more customising of my blog page, its slow work, as i don't have a clue what I am doing.

Have just taken the Christmas Decorations down, how depressing everywhere looks now and to top it all me and hubbie are back at work tomorrow. Hey Ho another New year Starts.

I am currently finishing of a throw that I have been making in Denim Ultra it looks good even though i say so myself, look out for the picture, it will be the first crafty thing I have put on my page.

Must go now I think the breakfast is burning.

Hello

Hi

I am new at this, I don't have much yet to put on this, but I am working on it, if you look at my sisters blogg site Gingerbread you will see some of the things I am interested in although, I am more into cooking, crocheting and cooking, but do throw in a little cross stitch and knitting.

I hope I make a lot of new friends that share the same interests.
