Update from Tommee Tippee

Hi Guys!

Got a lovely message back from Avril at Tommee Tippee the other day - the Boobies have landed and they are delighted with them! I have attached a photo of Avril with the box in her offices - as you can see she is delighted! Now we need to manage to make the 100 for the Christmas Challenge so that I will have a reason to go down there in person in January to hand them over to her!

The local paper has been round taking photos and getting a story for next weeks edition - great publicity for us and perfect timing for the launch of the Kirkcaldy meeting the following Monday! They have also promised to advertise the Christmas fayre for us too so that should help let people know what we are doing!

Next step will be to send out letters to all the local businesses and ask for donations for the raffle or tombola. I know that a lot of you have been busy making extra crafty items for us too so if you have please can you send them up by the end of November so we will be able to keep a check on how much we have for our stall!

So far we have managed to get quite a few crafters to take stalls as well - their stall rental will boost the profits and also people coming in to see what they have made will hopefully buy from our own stalls as well!

We have:-

Gifts 2 Go (peruvian jewellery, soap, bath potions, soft toys etc)

Kingdom Crafts (hand made cards, card kits and blackwork)

Calligraphy

Hand made Glass jewellery

Preserves

as well as all the usual Cake and Candy, tombola, raffle , face painting, hair braiding, guess the gorilla's birthday, teas, books, white elephant and of course..... Santa!

Hopefully we will get a good turnout!

I hope you have all been making things for the Christmas Challenge! I know we are all working hard here making boobs and prem baby cardigans and hats - remember we need to have 100 of each by Christmas to make our target. I am sure we can make it as the list is getting longer all the time!

Please check in when you can by email (charityknitters@yahoo.co.uk) , by letter to Loving Hands Charity Knitting Group, 18 Clentry Crescent, Kelty, Fife. KY4 0LG , or by leaving a note on this Blog! I really like to know how everyone is getting on. Remember also to encourage all your lovely knitting or crocheting friends to join us too - I am still hoping to make 100 members by Christmas!

Right - I guess I had better get on before hubby comes home and thinks I have done nothing but sit in this office all day :00)

If any of you are needing yarn, needles or patterns give me a shout and don't forget to check in when you can :0)
