Lola Talking Scarves

 Perhaps you all saw this some time back on the Lion Brand Web Site...they always have cute Lola cartoons.  The idea behind this is

Mish Mosh.  Now I don't think this scarf is a good idea for homeless, remember they don't like to call attention to themselves, so bright colors aren't the best ideas, nor are alot of stripes...plus solids go better with 99.9% of everything, be it for a women, a child, or an adult male.  But, perhaps the idea has some merit...if you're trying to use up some odds and ends, you might do blocks with a variety of stitches....??Personally, don't think I would be comfortable wearing something like this that isn't going to go with anything...but I wondered whatyou all thought of the idea behind it?

Ohio's Homeless Receive Donations

 Thank you Janis F for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths, hats, and scarves.  Thanks also for tagging the hats with the size, much appreciated.  You can also see Janis has included some misc clothing items for the youngsters.

I wanted to show you a close up of the celery colored hat.........isn't that adorable!  Such a sweet crocheted flower.  That will surely put a smile on a little girls face.

Donations to Help Ohio's Homeless

 Thank you Kathy B for this donation of yarn and supplies for plastic canvass.  I know the yarn will get used, it always does!  I'm in the process of checking at the shelters to see if they could use it for arts and crafts for the kids.

She's also donated 3 pieces of fleece that have several possibilities... keep checking back in to see what they turn into.  Shhhhhhhhhh...not telling.

Thank you Linda J for your support, much appreciated.

Crocheted Donations From Texas Aid Ohio's Homeless

Thank you Linda J from Texas for this thoughtful donation of crocheted cotton washcloths, and scarves.  Sorry to see the color of the 2 scarves on the left isn't accurate.  They were a pretty light burgundy; but that was a dark spot in the basement when I took the photo.

Please keep up the good work Linda, and send us some of your warm Texas weather, please.  We've had a few nice days, but we also had snow just a few days ago........again!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to you all.  I hope you're able today to find time to think of those less fortunate on this special day.

This photo was taken in The Basilica De La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona Spain on a recent trip.  (I will be blogging throughout the month of May about this incredible trip to Spain on Traveling Suitcase, should you like to explore with me.
