A Milestone along with warmth for our Homeless

This is the 350th blog post! I'm pretty excited by that, hope you are too.

Knitted and crocheted scarves from Adrienne from NY. Well actually from Adrienne's mother and her friend. I always love it when people get others involved. Adrienne mentioned our cause to her mother; who indicated she and her friend had scarves they had made and could donate. Thank You!

The bright orange is a set with matching hat and scarf. I LOVE that yarn. What did you use?

Fun and Funky

This fun, funky, and frilly little blanket is crocheted. What a fun color combination Chizoba. Be sure and click on the picture to enlarge it. Notice the little flower on the hat and scarf set, also crocheted. Chizoba's helping hands are from Virginia. I love seeing how many states have helping hands for this worthy project of warming the homeless. Donations come in all shapes, sizes and colors and all are appreciated.

Keep up the good work folks.

Mother and Daughter Team up to Help Homeless

The pretty bright cheery striped crocheted afghan was made by Rebeccah. You might remember her fabulous donation not too long ago. Click here to see it. Look at all colors. Thank you Rebeccah for your on going support.
Rebeccah's mother, Cindy put this darling patch blanket together. Click to enlarge the picture. I'm not sure if she re-purposed sweaters to make this, but it looks like a good possibility. I love the color combination here and know whomever receives this is going to be warm and happy.
This ghan of many colors makes me think of a quilt, log cabin I think it what this style square when quilted is called. Another beautiful bright cheery crocheted afghan to warm those in need at Faith Mission. Cindy and her daughter Rebeccah are from Ohio. What a marvelous mother daughter team.
And two fabulous scarves also made by this dynamic duo. Thank you ladies!

Socks are so Important!

We never have too many pairs of socks. Socks, store bought socks (primarily for men) are needed all year long. Cold, wet feet are a problem even in warmer months when you live outdoors in the elements. Thank you Patty L from Ohio for your donation. It's very much appreciated, truly.

Socks are important, and they will be the next month's feature. March will be Sock it to Me Month, for folks who like to plan a bit ahead. I'll probably make us a button/badge etc later so the feature is clearly seen on the blog. So, keep an eye peeled.

Sock it to Me Month following Toasty Tootsie's seemed to be so appropriate. Our feet do so much for us they deserve lots of attention. Why are feet so important you might ask yourself. What can you do, where can you go that your feet don't carry you? How much do you hurt all over if your feet hurt? How cold are you all over if your feet are wet and cold? Having a warm, dry pair of socks on can be very beneficially and help to keep one healthy. So, we do ask for and collect socks all year long, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
