Retired

I have officially laid my crochet hooks to rest for now and am retiring Loopy 4 Ewe for the time being. Life is full and busy and I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you for your continued support through the years!

Who knows what may become of this space in the future... Life is pretty fun right now and I kept thinking I should blog about my experiences. Maybe 1 day.

Weekend to End Women's Cancers Auction

I have been very fortunate to meet some pretty amazing people in my life.

This is my third year walking in the 60km Weekend to END Women's Cancers. This means it's my third year committing to raise a minimum of $2000 in order to walk. Since I live and walk in Ottawa, all of the funding goes to the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.

Sometimes it can be difficult to raise the money. I won't lie. But over the years I've discovered that people are incredibly generous! You just have to put it out there (and work for it) and you can do it!

This year one of my awesome retailers Spoiled Sugar offered to donate $2 from the sale of each of my beanies that she sells to my walk. Then she thought that she would put together a little auction of some of her demo items! How great is that!!!

Well, she put it out there and now local, amazing Mom's (and Guys!) have stepped up to the plate with over $2000 worth of donations that you can bid on right now!

A custom beanie is up for grabs from me. Right now it's sitting at $20 for a $25 value hat. ALL the proceeds are being donated. 100%!!! My mom just donated this cutie sock monkey! It hasn't been added yet, but it will be and it likely is already up by the time you see this post!

Check out the Weekend to End Women's Cancers Auction. Biddind ends at 8:30pm Easter on Sunday, April 17. Spoiled Sugar will send you a paypal invoice and your winning auction items must be paid for within 48 hours.

Here are the auction details you will need:

A special thank you to Spoiled Sugar and all the businesses who have donated to this amazing cause! Thank YOU!!!

OOAK Toronto

Hello!
I know - I haven't been around for EVER! And it likely won't get any better any time soon.

If you are going to the OOAK show in TO at the end of March. My hats will be making a guest appearance with some cute dresses. They won't be under my tags...but they will be mine! Meep. So excited.

Now all I have to do is finish up a bunch of orders so I can rock as many hats as possible to go to the show!

Last chance to shop in person this year!

Next Chance to Shop in Person!

Yes - I am very sorry I have been neglecting my blog:)

Show Preparation

On Sunday, August 15 I'll be at the Ottawa West Mompreneur Show from 11am - 4pm at the Kanata Holiday Inn Select and Suites on Kanata Avenue.

A lot of Mompreneurs will be there so be sure to come and check it out.

Of course I have been frantically making hats and as always I feel like I'm lacking in certain styles and certain sizes! But this is where I'm at right now. This is what just over 70 hats looks like. I'm hoping to add more but we'll see what happens as I'm also trying to get wholesale orders completed!

I'm also excited to announce that Spoiled Sugar will soon be launching their website and they'll be stocking Loopy 4 Ewe hats! I'm working on getting hats to them as quickly as I can - right now I have a few that will be picked up today and hopefully shown on A-Channel (in Ottawa) tomorrow at 9am! So be sure to watch the segment for a peak at Spoiled Sugar and hopefully some Loopy 4 Ewe hats! Here's a sneak peak of some of the Spoiled Sugar hats!
