Like, “my birthday is coming up soon!” and “I’m going to be eight years old!” and “I don’t want any presents, just pledges for my run for Breast Cancer research!”

That’s my niece, Katie, I’m talking about, and I couldn’t be prouder! She recently had a birthday party with all of her friends, and they raised over $200. Then they set up a food and drink stand (I hear there were cupcakes!) where they raised another $100.

I’m amazed at what she’s accomplishing! If you feel like you’d like to contribute to her run, here is the link. You’ll find pictures of their efforts there, as well.

This isn’t her first stint at giving, she has also made a scarf for Mom’s sorority’s children’s charity work (it was yellow, her favourite colour, and made on a Knifty Knitter loom with Patons Melody yarn. I’m bursting, just bursting!)

In other news, here is my progress on the Catan blanket:

Tally:
3 brick – done
3 ore – 2/3 done
4 wood – 1/4 done
4 sheep – 2/4 done
4 grain – 2/4 done
1 desert
18 water

Ok, back to work for me!
