What I'm Working On

Currently I'm whipping up some fun hats for a local charity. I did this last year and really enjoyed it and got many compliments on my hats. So now I am making up a few more to donate out of my yarn stash.

If you are in the Grand Junction, Colorado area and enjoy making hats, it would be wonderful of you to make a few to donate. If you don't make hats, at least stop by these locations to buy a few! They make great gifts and all proceeds go to an amazing charity!

It's hard to read the image, but anytime after December 3, the hats can be purchased at the following locations:
Heirlooms For Hospice at 635 Main Street
Benges Shoes at 514 Main Street
and
The Hot Tomato Cafe at 124 N. Mulberry Street in Fruita

For more info on donating, contact Suzi at

Do you Twitter?? And Crochet??? Palin too!

I'm looking for some fellow crocheters to follow on Twitter!! Come and check out my page.....follow me and I'll follow you!!! I try to update it as often as I can!!



Also, remember this post about Obama coming to my town, Grand Junction? Well, it took a while, but the republicans will be here tonight!! Sarah Palin will be speaking at Suplizio field! You can read more about it here. Now, she may not be speaking at such a neat location as Obama, but I have a feeling that they had to choose the football field because I think this will have an even LARGER turnout....considering all the McCain/Palin signs I see in a ton of yards! I rarely see Obama ones. I'll definately be listening via the internet!

OK, it's Monday. That means I get to clean the house and do laundry. Yay for me, LOL!!!

Obama in Grand Junction!!

OK, I am NOT about to go all political on you, but I had to share this bit of information. It seems that presidential candidate Barack Obama will be speaking in my little town of Grand Junction today! Pretty cool, huh??

Now, I will NOT mention if I support this candidate or not. But I will NOT be going to listen to him...just too many people for me, LOL!! I'm such a homebody! And truthfully, if it were not for my husband, I probably would still care less about politics. But HE likes to listen to talk radio a lot and discuss politics, so I am bound to learn a little bit!

What I find really cool is the location he choose to speak at! Cross Orchards is a historic farm here in Grand Junction. Heather and I usually visit at least once a year. It's a really cool place. I think her class will even be going on a field trip there next month.

I believe he is coming here because we are in the middle of oil drilling fields! Plus, I think they consider Colorado to be a swing state. I may listen to his speech while I clean the house today...but we'll see. Now, I wonder if McCain will visit us too??

Boy, Grand Junction is really getting bigger than it was when I moved here almost 12 years ago!
