Looky what I did! I’ve been such a knotty little knitter lately, aka recently switched in my slutty sticks to work on being a happy hooker. But I’ve been inspired by the cold weather and my pregnant cousin. These are for daughter to be Taylor.
This pattern and 9 other crochet patterns like it, can be found in “Baby Bootie Boutique” from Annie’s Attic.
Be sure to get down to the Whistle Stop tonight for their silent auction. This is a great event, all proceeds go to help their longtime bartender Fran raise money to help pay for all his medical bills. Not only has he had to take time off to deal with leukemia, now he, like many in his situation, are struggling to pay for the outrageous bills, that come along with the stress of being sick in the first place.
Happy Delusions is donating an “I heart Renton” tee, keychain, and button for the occasion.
Here’s a look at a few of the other things up for auction:
A mini Seahawks Helmet signed by Matt Hasselbeck
A Pilsner Urquell Humidor with 12 Rocky Patel Cigars. Nice!
A four hour cruise for four aboard the Whisper (a spectacular sailboat). Includes catered nibbles from the Food Guru LuAnne Wiles, and tasty wines courtesy of Vine Tales and Nancy Patterson! Sweet!
They have tons of great beer wear as well!
They also have special beer on tap, and if you buy a pint, all of the proceeds will go straight to FRAN!
How easy is that.
If all of that doesn’t have you running down there yet, add a Polka Band. They start at 7 so come early and get a place to sit and eat our fabulous German Sausage and Kraut Dinner.
The goal tonight is $5000.00! You can make that happen!
Yet another great little diddy by the folks at Accoutrements. Now available at happy delusions. I know I’ll be stuffing some of my loved ones stocking with these this holiday season.
