Warm and Toasty

As promised a better picture of this afghan from Diana K.  YOu saw it all folded up last time, and here it is (already tabulated), laid out after being laundered.  Who doesn't love a ripple.  A ripple and granny squares aren't those the first two designs that pop into your head when you think of a traditional afghan!

Awesome work, again Diana K, thank you.
**Stay tuned for donations from: Karen J from Illinois, Sandra R from Florida,  B. Torio from Ohio, Brenda H from Texas, and Sue F from Ohio.

Donations from Barbara F

Apologies if you made it here this am, before I got the post finishef folks.  I had the picture and the count and a note to myself to finish the post.  Barbara F has donated a vareit of hat styles, please click to enlarge the picture so you can see the details better.  Different sizes, different colors and different styles.  She's also donated scarves and cotton washcloths.

Many thanks Barbara, please keep up the good work.

As I edit this post, it's snowing......yes AGAIN!  It's currently 23 degrees, but feels like it's 13.  I've been lucky enough to escape the cold and snow for a bit, traveled with hubby for business and then we added a few days at the end of business to relax and it was so nice to be where there was nice weather.  The snow mounds from plows etc are now about 4 feet high here to give you a feel fr the amount of snow that's piled up.  

Please keep the homelss, and those without proper heat living on the edge during this very difficult time of year in your thoughts and prayers and do what you can with your needles and hooks.  They don't really have a way to escape the conditons.

Donations from California for Ohio's Homeless

Dianne L from California has been busy.  See what I mean?  She's crocheted lots of goodies here from cotton washcloths (love how you fold and tie them, makes such a nice package), scarves, and a variety of hat sizes to fits lots of different sized heads.  AND, thank you thank you Dianne for labeling all the hats with the size.  That is truly appreciated.

Folks, it's a simple thing, but do click to enlarge the picture and see what I mean about how Dianne packages the cotton washcloths.  They look so much more gift like, don't they!  Love the idea.

Please keep up the good work Dianne.
