Cast Off and Move On

Just spotted this on facebook and it cracked me up.  First thing I thought of was Cast off Woman!

Haven't had many donations of late folks so posts haven't been updated as often as I like.  Hint hint, wink wink.

Sea and Sand Knitted Afghan

Not the best picture, but it's done folks.  Long last!  Whew, I've been knitting this it seems forever.  It needs to be laundered and blocked yet, but finally Sea and Sand Afghan is done.  It's very large and will be a bit larger once blocked no doubt.

It might be part of fund raiser for Homeless Families Foundation, and it might be donated as we do the others for The Welcome Home Project.

Books for the Soul and Crocheted Cotton Clothes

Thank you Sharon H for this thoughtful donation.  Sharon has crocheted some cotton washcloths, which the shelters all love.  They use them when people first get into the system with bath kits, they use them again in moving out packages where they can be used as washcloths and or kitchen dish cloths.  Sharon has also included some of her books for the book shelf at Homeless Families Foundation.  She hope to inspire some folks and help put purpose back into lives, as we all try to aid with necessary warm items.

Thank you Sharon.

July is Mitten Month

Thought you all might get a kick out of this comic I saw a few days back on Facebook!  I know my hubby would prefer that I not talk about mine, lol.

Can you believe it's July?  Good grief time goes by quickly.  The focus for this month is mittens.  We never get enough mittens, and I'm sorry to say there's very little information on our mitten tab; but do click it...it's a short read.  Sometime back while editing the page blogspot had an oophs and I lost the whole page...argh...even the patterns.  In the process of trying to rebuild that page so please feel free to let me know your patterns.  Remember we can copy and paste patterns that are copyrighted, but we can provide links and give credit if the pattern is here on line or is your own pattern.

Non-Skid Slippers Donated

  Thank you Blanca T from Ohio, our newest pair of helping hands.   She and her crochet hook have been very busy, as you can see.  She's crocheted and donated a wide variety of hat colors and sizes.  Check out the black and red toward the left corner.  It's one of those with a bill.  How cute is that!  She's included personal care items which are always needed and appreciated.  A short while back I mentioned she indicated you could make slippers non skid by putting dots of silicone on the bottom.  I turned one of the slippers over so you could see said silicone.    She indicated it was available in hardware stores, to add a few dots and make it dries.

Thanks for the helpful idea and welcome to the group.  We're always happy to have more helping hands.
