Homeless Donations from Sunny Florida

 LOVE LOVE LOVE this colorful afghan.  What an awesome way to use up scrapes.  Also wonderful way to have a small project to tote around, or to work on when it's warm.  You make lots of scarves and crochet together.  Our very good friend, and long time supporter Sandra R has done it again.  Beautiful, fun, and cheery.  This afghan will work for either male or female with it's nice mix of colors.  It's soft, warm and large enough for a family afghan as well.  Way to go Sandra!

 But.....wait, she's not done.  Look at these wonderful hats and scarves!  Hats of different styles and colors and sizes to warm cold heads in need.  Special thanks too Sandra for tagging with size.  Tagging with size helps get hats to the right sized hats quicker than those not tagged with size.  Awesome work as always..............

BUT......she's not done, Mittens and more hats.  You know how excited I get when we get mittens!!  Yippee, I'm dancing with joy.  Once again Sandra has tagged hats and mittens with size.  Sandra R from Florida, YOU TOTALLY ROCK!!
