Crocheting and Donating

Thank you Blanca T for this thoughtful donation of crocheted goodies.  You've been busy!  Colorful crocheted cotton cloths/towels are always well received by all the shelters we donate to.  She's also donated hats and scarves.  Click to enlarge folks so you can see the details in the scarves.  I believe this style is called a keyhole scarf?

Thank you and please keep up the good work of warming Ohio's Homeless.

Folks we're still highlighting the needs of kids until the end of this month, February; but remember that doesn't mean you can't send items for kids other times of the year.  Please check the working calendar tab anytime you need an idea of what to make, or wonder what our highlighted items or groups will be.  The current highlight, always appear in the moving marque across the top of the blog.
**Stay tuned for donations from: Karen J from Illinois,   from Ohio, Brenda H from Texas, and Sue F from Ohio.

Donation Delivered to my Door to Help Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Blanca T for this thoughtful donation and a special thanks for taking the time to drop it off.  Sorry we weren't able to connect with our work schedules, perhaps next time.  I do so love to meet people face to face.  This is donations of crocheted goodies, personal care items, and tote bags.  There are zipper canvas bags, and draw strings which will be perfect for folks to keep their personal care items in.  AND look at the cute hats!  Was a dark dreary day when I took the photo folks so even though I lighten the picture using my software things don't show up as well as I would like.  Please click to enlarge the picture so you see what I'm talking about.

Slippers, hats, neck gators/cowls.  Thank you too Blanca for labeling the items with size....EVERYONE loves that.

Non-Skid Slippers Donated

  Thank you Blanca T from Ohio, our newest pair of helping hands.   She and her crochet hook have been very busy, as you can see.  She's crocheted and donated a wide variety of hat colors and sizes.  Check out the black and red toward the left corner.  It's one of those with a bill.  How cute is that!  She's included personal care items which are always needed and appreciated.  A short while back I mentioned she indicated you could make slippers non skid by putting dots of silicone on the bottom.  I turned one of the slippers over so you could see said silicone.    She indicated it was available in hardware stores, to add a few dots and make it dries.

Thanks for the helpful idea and welcome to the group.  We're always happy to have more helping hands.

Folks, if you missed the day before yesterdays post, please scroll back and read.  I've included a graph of how we're doing with each of the items we knit and crochet and donate and compared it to this time last year.
