Licorice Afghan Donated to Homeless Families Foundation

Thank you Sherry K for this lovely afghan, whomever receives this at Homeless Families Foundation is going to be thrilled.  It's nicely sized, and very well made.  Here's team work for you folks, our friend from New York Ann Marie, sent squares to Sherry K (through the group they've become friends...pretty cool), and Sherry assembled the ghan.   Sherry named this afghan, Licorice...how perfect is that!! Then Sherry and I met again for coffee and a nice visit so she could pass the ghan along to me.  Gotta love team work!  And I passed along Pink Persuasion to be assembled to Sherry.   Sherry also loomed 2 hats.  Thank you Sherry for your hard work!

A Potpourri Donation Helps many

Wonderful donation here from our good friend Marjorie M.  I love the variety.  It's a real potpourri.   Marjorie has crocheted 20 cotton washcloths, an item always well received at all the family shelters we deliver to.  In addition to her hand crafts Marjorie has sent socks for both men and women (Rae will be thrillejd), razors, shaving cream, plastic forks, sandwich size zip-lock bags, and first aid kits.  I never thought of first aid kits but feel these compact items will be greatly appreciated by Rae as she cares for the folks living out in the elements.  Yes, it's close to summer folks, but in the last week we've had horrible fog, nights close to freezing, an abundance of rain, and a couple of days that were hot.  The weather this time of year here in Central Ohio is tough when you're without a roof over your head.

Donating Hats for Homeless

*this was suppose to post yesterday afternoon, sorry folks been having some troubles with scheduled post...continuing to work on it*

Thank you Marie P from Tennessee for this donation of knitted hats.  She has several sizes, several styles and a nice mix of colors.  The ribbed hat at the very top is probably my favorite.  Ribbed hats are generally nice and stretchy, which means they fit a variety of heads sizes which is a bonus...then again look how cute the mint green stripped one is with the little pompom on it.

Special Thanks for tagging each one with the size.  I know that's truly appreciated by all the shelters and aids them in proper distribution.

**It's June...June's focus is slippers, please check the details of sizes, colors, fibers, styles, and tagging in the slipper tab across the top of the blog.  There's also some patterns there you might enjoy using**

**Who's local?  Would love to get some additional help with assembling our afghans?**
