It's been a while!

Since I last posted. Let's see.
Nothing in the stitching front. I have had lots of kids around the house. I am watching a few on top of my own for the summer. So it's a lot of busy work during the day. Lunch for 5 (including me) and that kind of stuff.
It's been fun so far. Ask me in a few weeks! But the kids are starting to figure it out. When I say something I follow through. No empty threats here! So yes when I say, "IF you do that again, you will lose videogames for the day", I mean it!And no you can't throw the ball on the roof. This was asked about 10 times. Must think I have a memory of a gerbil. *chuckle.
It's funny though. When I watch other's kids, I feel very close to them very quickly. The whole protection factor kicks right in.

I had my hair cut today. It's about t-shirt collar length. I didn't donate it. There is a bit of a thing we aren't so sure about. I know they sell what they can't use- like grey hairs. But whether it means they sell the whole donation from the one person, or that they separate and sell the strands they can't use and then use the rest for the children's wigs. We aren't sure. Even my hairstylist isn't sure now. I guess they changed the Locks of Love program a bit. So if they can't use my hair, yes, I have lots of white/grey, then I guess I won't bother with it. And neither will Hubby. He's been trying to grow his out so he can donate again.

Now on to stash goodness.
I ordered a few things. RAKs mostly for other people. A couple things for me.
I have a stack from Silverlining coming to me. And I placed my first order through One Star's Light. Great service! My computer wouldn't let me see or do the shipping options for some strange reason on One Star's page. So I contacted the owner and still managed to order what I wanted. Hurray for Paypal!
I ordered through 123Stitch- the color variations thread pack for one of my flosskids,(I bought the other pack at the craft store with a coupon of course) and a giftie "just because" for Ami.
Just love the puffy envelopes.
And a few words to fellow stitchers- Keep an updated wishlist. You just never know what could fall into your lap, er mailbox, someday. :)

Hey I am running a very simple exchange over to the Flossmoms site. It's a single thread exchange. Sort of a simple and quick way to get things going over there. I thought it could help us get to know each other.
So only a little over an hour from now it will be locked up and then names matched up and sent off..... Tomorrow anyways, for the matches and contacts I mean. *Le sigh, I am tired.

Goodness, 5 kids every day! You are playing at SuperMom! :) I looked at Locks of Love and they could still use donations of grey hair. They sell it and use the proceeds to help fund the wig manufacturing process. So, while your hair wouldn't go directly on a child's head, it would still help it get there. I think the new guideline of 10" minimum to be used in a prosthesis is a bit excessive. I have trouble getting mine to 6" before I can't stand it and have to cut it off. But at least they can still sell donations from 6" to 10".
