For those of you've who've frequented the blog, I'm betting you can quess who this donations from without my telling you! Clues are bright colors, hats trimmed with a coordinating color, and wait for it......signature button flower decorations! Right you are, it's our friend and fellow crocheter RoseMarie. 4 matching hat and scarf sets the young girls will enjoy, pair of slippers and personal care items. Very nice indeed.Thank you RoseMarie for your thoughtful donation, and your on going support.

**September is Scarf Month, and we're having another contest.
Running til October 8th (1 month), I'll toss names into a hat for everyone who donates a scarf for a teen or adult...male or female. Feeling like we need to bump those numbers a bit and will draw the winning name from the hat and send out another box of yarn. Contests are fun. We've had several fun, productive, and successful contests. Every scarf donated for a teen or adult (at least 5 inches wide and 5 feet or longer please), will qualify. **

RoseMarie - I just love the way you use color! My mom would have said you "have an eye for color" and I have to agree. Your craftsmanship is not only so useful and warm but beautiful as well.
ReplyDeleteRoseMarie, I can tell that you don't sit idle very much! I look forward each time to seeing your donations. They are soooo sweet! I don't have to tell you to keep your hook flying, because I already know that you do!
ReplyDeleteIt's so wonderful that you are getting regular donations from people like this!
