Busy Day!

Sorry everyone, but no new photos to post today! I have been super busy and my younguns are literally crawling all over me as I type this post! I feel like I'm swatting at bugs...lol..

First off, I tried ZUMBA for the first time this morning!!! yay!!! I've have SO got to get back in shape! Zumba KICKED my booty! But it was so much fun!!

I recently joined the Crochet for Cancer charity and finished a beautiful turban chemo cap and will post pics tommorrow. I also finished a few newborn and preemie hats for another wonderful charity called "Bellas Babies" for Southside Hospital in NJ. I have been  very slack with this charity lately so I'm trying to double my production to make up for my past slackness!

As most of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so after Zumba class I went to my favorite yarn shop and stocked up on pink yarn.....and of course found about a gazillion other prints and colors that I fell in LOVE with. (I'm not a yarn hoarder,,,,really!....yeah right! I so AM  a yarn hoarder and proud of it.) However, out of love for my husband, and my quest for going a full day WITHOUT having him yell at me for overspending, I managed to only buy about 1/2 a gazillion skeins of yarn....teeheeheehee.....
After I got home I decided to experiement making a candy corn hat for Halloween. Well, after spending about an hour on it, I tried it on my lovely 3 year old daughter.....it looked sooo retarded...seriously. So I ripped it out and will try a different pattern later this evening!

Ok...so time for me to get the lil ones ready for bed before they yank ALL of my hair out trying to climb me like a jungle gym. Then I'm gonna crochet for a bit.
In observance of National Breast Cancer Awarness month, I urge all of you crochet and knitters to locate a crochet for cancer group, or locate a cancer center near you and see if you cant donate some nice chemo caps! What a wonderful way to give to the community and help others who are sick! Imagine how nice it must feel to those undergoing chemo treatments  to recieve a handmade cap to keep their heads warm from someone who doesn't even know them, yet understands what they are going through and just wishes to send some love and support? I know it would make me feel great!

Happy Creating!
