Look how sweet this afghan is!  It's bright, cheery and adorable.  Thank you Maria T. R. from Texas for this awesome donation.  This afghan will work for a teen or adult female as a lapghan and or a prized possession for some little girl.  Whomever receives this will be smiling.

Thank you Maria and please keep up the good work!

This afghan like all our afghans will be donated through Homeless Families Foundations.

Here we are the 3rd day in April already.  Aprils focus will be scarves, but I'd also like to continue our focus on afghans and quilts.

Pretty and Practical Donations for Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Barbara F for this very thoughtful donation.  Cute headbands, and hat and a circle/mobius/infinity style scarf.  Very nice.  Barbara's also sent us some really nice plastic bags.  Look at the bag the yarn is in..These are zip locks, large ones with a handle.  These will be perfect for our afghans that are donated to Homeless Families Foundation.  A nice bag to carry them, to keep them clean, and to see them so when selections are made for family x y z, they can see the colors etc.  I think it bumps up our presentation a notch are too.  Many thanks for finding these Barbara.

And look how pretty the Lion Brand Homespun is.  I think I can probably get two scarves out of this....then again it might work well with some I  have on hand for ghan........hum, time will tell.  Rest assured it will get put to good use.

Please keep up the good work.

Afghans for Homeless Families Foundation

 Thank you Lori R.  What an awesome donation.  2 Crocheted afghans, bright and cherry.  The blue and yellow will surely make a little boy feel comforted and the orange and green will bring a smile to any little girl.  These are sized well to be ghans for children, and or lapghan size for teens.  Beautiful work Lori.  I love all the texture in the orange and green one.  Be sure and click to enlarge both photo's folks so you can see what I'm talking about.  And remember you can always click any picture here on the blog to see something better. 

In addition to the two afghans, Lori has crocheted and donated 4 cotton wash cloths.

Thank you Lori for your thoughtful donation, and continued support.  We sure appreciate you.

Today is the last day of March...wow, where does time go?  Tomorrow will be April and our focus for April is scarves.  Please remember we do not make scarves for infants and toddlers.  Please check details of size so the donations meet our need.  In addition to focusing on scarves during the month of April, I like to continue focusing on afghans and quilts.  We've not yet received any quilts, but am hopeful we will since adding quilters to our fold.
