Caring Through Crafting to Help those in Need

Thank you Sharon H for this thoughtful donation.  She has hats of several different sizes, lots and lots of personal care items.  The item in the upper left are leg warmers (click to enlarge picture).  The yellow blanket has a little hoody on it for a small child and the blue polka dot tied blanket is actually a little sleeping back for a wee one.  Cute idea...the sleeping bag.  Would imagine a small child would really enjoy snuggling down inside it.  It's super soft and fluffy.

I'll put aside the child's hooded blanket and sleeping bag as we don't donate infant/toddler items to the shelters.  But, will put out the word with a couple of folks, as we sometimes have a family with a small child in need and we want to get things to the right people.

Thank you Sharon, keep up the good work.
