Sorting Yarn

Sniker..........another chuckle for you all.  I've re-organized by stash several different ways, way weight, by type, then as it grew.......by color, so this spoke to me.  Does it you?

If I move it from the sofa to floor will I have more room?  hehe...

If you find cute pictures or fun comics we can share during these light donation times on the blog,  please message me.  Happy to share. As most of you know I try to have something up as close to daily as possible, though sometimes ...I'm not able.  The more frequent the blog is updated the better for it's placement in search engines...........the better we place in search engines the easier we are to find in a search............the easier we are to find in a search the more people offer their help.........the more people we have helping us....................the better our ability is to help others.

Email me, or contact me via the contact form in the right side bar.

Likewise if you see hear about a story about homeless that points out something we all should know, good, bad, or indifferent...........please let me know.

Personal Care for Homeless Always Needed

Thank you Dianne L for this thoughtful donation of personal care items and rain poncho's.  These are items always needed, all 12 months of the year.  Dianne was able to save lots of hotel goodies from some recent travels....perfect way to help the homeless without needing to spend money or time knitting and or crocheting.  She's also included some Avon Lip Balm/Chap Stick.........another item used all year long, be it cold for cracked cold lips or hot and cracked lips in summer's heat.

Many thanks Dianne, please keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.

Where are You and Your Yarn From?

I'm trying to identify where everyone is from, partially for fun. Take a look at the map. Also, believe it will aid me in cases where we have several people with the same name. Please look at the lists of bloggers and non bloggers and see if I have the state you hail from. If not, please leave a comment and let me know.

Additionally, we've had help from Scotland, England, Germany Puerto Rico, Canada, and France! They don't appear on the map, but their help is still greatly appreciated.

Where The People Who Donate Come From, is your state represented?
