Yes, it’s true. I am shamelessly plugging, but let me assure you that I come bearing a win-win situation.  

Here goes…

It should come as no surprise that this blog has as much to do with me typing out my crazy streams of consciousness, as it is about asking people to donate to the Arthritis Society (and me! …by extension).

But here is what you can get out of it!

On the surface I may look like a Nova Scotian…pale, dry skin is a dead give-away….but deep down, I’m a Bermudian. In a nutshell, I hate winter. Give me 35 degrees and I’m a happy camper. Give me minus 10 and I want to jump out of my own skin.

Ever heard of hibernation? I’d rather live off tin cans of ravioli and Zoodles and see no sunlight for five months than trudge through snow and slush every day. Good thing I chose to hike a snow-covered mountain, eh?! Smart….real smart. Did I mention this trek was out of my comfort zone?

Anyway, back to the plug…

In an effort to keep warm (read: thawed, not frozen) on my walks to and from the office, I sought after the crochet services of my Mom. She makes hats. And PS…they’re pretty darn cute.  

And shock of all shocks, I’m now crocheting them myself.

Side note: Technically, my crochet habits are not a shock to people who know me…I am kind of an 80 year-old trapped in a 25 year-old’s body. Aside from crocheting, I say things like “ducks in a row” and “oh my goodness.” And not as a joke).

I crochet for fun and I also….

 *here comes the shameless part*

….sell them! *wink wink *nudge nudge.

Sooooo…..you interested?!

Here’s the pitch:

*Note: if you read it really fast, it’s like it didn’t even happen*

They cover your ears…

They keep your head warm… (first-party testimonial)

They come in many colours…

They’re for adults and kids…

And they’re cute (my models make the difference ).

 …I also make boy’s hats.

 Okay, that’s it. I’m done. Pitch over.

BUT if you like them, want one or want to send me a comment (preferably about how to market a product – I need help!), I’m more than happy to oblige.

For children, it’s $12, and adults are $15.

 In true M-E form, here’s a final thought for the day:

Shameless plugging is like wearing a thong for the first time – uncomfortable yet liberating
