Fundraisers and The Conference, Oh My!

First and foremost, please check out the following two fundraisers to help raise money for some amazing families!

Both fundraisers include a donation for an afghan of their own for the winning bidder, donated by myself.

The first is Lily's birthday bash! Lily is turning ten years old on July 27th and is helping to raise money for her friends, Parker and Jaxson.

Then we have a fundraiser being run by Dawn of Mama Monkmee for Phoenix!



In other news, Sheridan's family (Genitically Enhanced) will be bringing the Traveling Afghan to the big NDSC conference in California next week! I can't wait to see the pictures of all the hands that get a chance to hold the afghan!

The afghan will hang around California for awhile and then head off to South Dakota for their annual Buddy Walk!

I have fallen behind on the queue for An Afghan Of Their Own, but I have picked up my hook and am back at it! I apologize for the delay, but life takes precedence over hooking, even when it is the cutest kids in the world waiting for their 'ghans!

Hopefully I will have the queue cleared out before the end of August, if not sooner!

Other than that, I hope you are all enjoying your summers!!

Summer Update

Things have slowed down a bit on the Traveling Afghan front, as well as with An Afghan of Their Own....however, things are slowly getting back into the swing of things!

There is an email notification form in the sidebar. Please subscribe to receive an email each time the site is updated.

Our new look is compliments of Poppies Blooming and she did an amazing job! Stay tuned for an afghan give away the two of us have come up with! She was awesome to work with and never got tired of my requested alterations, etc!

We should receive pictures today from the afghan's visit with Koby and his family!

I have afghans ready to ship for Benjamin A. and Kaden H. I will get those out in the mail by the end of the week!

I had to take a small break from hooking (aka crocheting) due to moving. Working full time and taking care of two kids, a beagle and a cat are full time jobs, so the unpacking and cleaning have gone slower than I anticipated.

However, I will be back in the full swing of things this weekend and apologize for the brief delay in all thing Traveling Afghan related. Kids come first, we all know that...and they need a clean and organized home (not to mention what it does for their mother's sanity!)

Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!

I am still waiting for pictures of the following kiddos with their afghans:
Tyler at The Gardner Groove
Hannah at The Shamptons
Pierce

Get us those pictures, moms!

Other than that, things are moving forward. I am sorry I allowed things to slow down for a bit, but family life comes first and I needed to prioritize some things! Now, full speed ahead, once again!
