The word today is Wheel

Wheel: A circular object that revolves on an axle.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - the BOOBS are out!!!

October 2007 is breast cancer awareness month in the UK, and with that in mind, the team at It's A Creative World have been busy getting creative with their boobs! We wanted to do our bit to raise the profile of breast cancer awareness month, and, in addition to our creative efforts, we have set up a Just Giving page where our readers can make a donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer, one of the UK's leading breast cancer charities.

We've set our target at £310 - that's £10 every day throughout October - if we could exceed that amount we'd be absolutely delighted.

The donation page will remain active for 3 months until the end of December, and you can donate at any time up until then. Anyone who donates online between October 1st and October 31st will be eligible to win a prize in our draw, which will take place at the beginning of November, to give as many people as possible the chance to donate in October. We already have some fantastic prizes on offer, including a pink scrapbook album, a pink bracelet, an A4 sheet of Zettiology stamps, a £10 M&S voucher, and a £10 NEXT voucher. Further prize details with full details of donors will be added during October.

And IACW are challenging readers asking you to make October the month that you SCRAP YOUR BOOBS!!! Please visit "It's a Creative World" to see what the team have come up with!!! I'll give you a little clue about my contribution: I am at last a "Calendar Girl" LOL.

Update on the blanket!
Woo hoo, I moved the target cos my squares were slightly larger than I expected!!! So only completed 224. (14 by 16 rows of squares). Here they are first pass laid out on a sheet. What I will do now is look for blocks of colour, same designs and move a few squares around. (They are totally randomly placed right now.) Next job is to pin them to the sheet, then crochet them together.

Thanks for visiting and love always from Di XXX
