If you're Irish I hope you have something special planned for the day. Hubby and I aren't Irish, but always enjoy watching our favorite movie, "The Quiet Man", with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. Typically we have corned beef (which isn't true Irish, but Irish-American), and hubby enjoys Genesis.
Things have been greening up here this past week, almost all the snow has melted giving us glimpses of green grass, which is most exciting. I hope it gives hope to those Homeless that their trial with this nasty winter will indeed come to an end.
Doing a bit of looking back, thought I'd post the numbers from this time last year.
2014 Donations:
Hats: 303
Scarves: 116
Socks: 49
Afghans: 11
Slippers: 25
Rain Ponchos:
Mitten: 9
Cotton Washcloths: 118
Shawls, Sweaters, Vests, Poncho's, Skirts, etc. : 5
Neck warmers, cowls, gators, wrists warmers and other misc items aren't tabulated; as well as personal care items.
Followed by our numbers to date this year. Hats and scarves are down quite a bit, while mittens are up! Socks are about the same, rain poncho's up a smidge, cotton washcloths down. Keep in mind previously cowls etc weren't counted so that skews things a bit.
Happy Crocheting and Knitting to everyone, anyone making something Green?
