Mini update

A quick update before heading back to the hospital. As always Sandie's work is super! 2 fabulous hats and a scarf to help these homeless warm.

Not one of my better pictures, sorry folks took it quickly last night after I got home from the hospital before going to bed.

Got another nice bag to pass along to Rae. Will connect up with SIL tomorrow or the next day with this latest donation.

Though we do have a few mini signs of spring...they will not last and winter will return here. It always does. So please keep those hooks and needles working and donate what you can.

Looks like even Stella was tired, laying her head on the pillows! Hats #152 and 153, and scarf #78

Would love to hit our goal of 100 scarfs which is only....22 scarfs away.

**I managed to get to the bank today on my way to the hospital and exchanged the English pounds into American currency and am hopeful I can get out shopping in the next or so to pick up some more socks for men under the bridge.

Some more Scarfs, made in ICU

These are 3 scarfs I've made while sitting in ICU, (ICU info here regarding Mom). Scarfs #75-76-77

The 2 reddish colored scarfs are both knitted. One is red and grey, though the grey doesn't show up well in the picture. The 2nd one is more reddish-orange. I intended these to go to the free clinic for the women/teens. One is a mohair blend the other light and lofty.

The brown one is nice and big, both wide and long; suitable for men and is crocheted.

Will try to do another update tomorrow, as I have more to photograph and post. It's time to get ready to head back to the hospital, again.

I needed a diversion of something more pleasant the other day and did an update on my travel blog, please stop in for a visit.

Still Counting

It was bitter cold again today here in Central Ohio. Believe it was 3 when I first woke up with a wind chill maker it even colder. Thankfully I have more warm items to count and donate. Many many thanks going out to Sandie for Hat #159, and Scarfs # 73 & 74. As always Sandie's work in flawless. I passed a bag along just 2 days ago to my SIL to pass along to Rae and am working on another one here to get to her as soon as possible.

Keep those hooks and needles flying folks, hats, mittens, scarfs are still very much needed. Also am still collecting socks. Am hopeful I'll get time away from the hospital enough tomorrow to get out and purchased socks from our last 2 monetary donations.

Will be heading back to the hospital shortly (more information on my regular blog here)

Thanks for the continued support of this program, and many thanks for the good wishes and prayers many of you have sent my way.

Help with Socks, Counting more goodies!

First...a reminder to ask that each heartfelt donation be accompanied with a note telling me who you are. Packages come with real names, most of you use internet names/screen names etc. here on blogger, on Rav. etc. I need to know who you are in cyberworld in order match you up with your real names. Still looking for a Sarah from Hawaii and Joanne from California. Please see 2 previous post for their donations. If you know who these caring ladies are, please let me know so I can properly thank them.

Showing the front and back of an Enlgish Bank Note that came from a caring man named Bill; whom I know from blogging a bit over on Multiply. I think it's cool how different the money looks from other countries. This will go for socks as soon as I can get out shopping. (my mom's in ICU after an emergency surgery and so my time is not my own...thus my delay in making updates here as well).

Thanks go out to Sandie for another of her wonderful creations...Hat #150

And Jenny (Wren on RAV), all the way from Scotland. Scarf #72

Sandie's hat is crocheted and Jenny's scarf is knitted...I would love to know how you made the scarf Jenny, I've never seen the stitches run that way and am most interested to learn how you did that.

I'll try to get another round of pictures taken later. Need to get to the hospital.

More love to warm those in need

I've been MIA a bit here folks due to some family medical issue (keep us in your thoughts and prayers please), but wanted to do a mini update here...though this does not bring it current.

Many many thanks to Joanne for 4 beautiful knitted and crochet sets of hats, scarfs, and mittens. Joanne your work is awesome. When I grow up, I wanna knit as well as you do. The hats and mittens are knitted and matching scarfs are crocheted.

Hats #146-147-148-149

Mittens # 30-31-32-33

Scarfs #68-69-70-71

As usual, you see Stella enjoying the warmth and beauty of donated items. Showing you a close up on one of the hats...isn' it fabulous!!

Many thanks. Folks I do have more items to number and photograph, but need to get to the hospital so will try to do another mini update later.

Keep those hooks and needles flying folks, the need continues.

**PLEASE sing our if you know who Joanne in West Hills, CA if so I can properly thank her.

****Reminder folks, please send your internet name, email etc when you forward donated items, as I often don't know real names. Thanks!!!!

YIPPEE!!!!

We are making headway folks on all fronts. A nice card with $$ to purchase socks came while I was out of town from Cowgirl (Chris). I think I'll be able to get another dozen socks with this. Many thanks!

And a package has been sitting at the post office (insufficient postage, it wasn't lost; but apparently the notice telling me to pick it up was). Sarah, I'm not sure who you are here on the net; Sarah from Hawaii, lots of thanks for the 2 scarfs. Both are knitted. These are scarfs #66 and 67

Sing out if you're Sarah or know who she is, I like to make sure I know who's who.

Keep those hooks and needles flying.

It's still quite cold here much is still needed.

**I should add, unpacking and doing laundry today but plan to go shopping tomorrow for the socks!
