I hope everyone had a great New Year's! Here is a little update as to what has been happening with the ministry....
Colynn Hodge has made up more prayer shawls. Deb Hodge has kindly donated some beautiful gifts bags that are ideal to give the shawls away with. I am busy making up some chemo hats. This cold weather must be brutal on the chemo patients. When I sit on my sofa in my living room I can feel the cold air pouring in through the window behind me. I can't imagine how uncomfortable I would be if I had suddenly lost my hair. Burr!
Idealy, I would like to get some lap throws made up. I have a decent amount of yarn available to make them with. I was going to crochet them with a basic single crochet and double crochet stitch combination. The skeins of leftover worsted weight yarn that I have for this is ideal. As always, I do not have as much time to complete these things as I would like but I am fitting in a few minutes here and there. If anyone is interested in knitting or crocheting a throw I can give you the yarn that you need to make it up.
Tomorrow is my big day. I get to go to the doctor to see if I can start walking without crutches. I am so excited! After a month of having to rely on help from my family I am ready to start walking again. I miss my independence. It really puts a new perspective on things. As long as I am cleared to walk tomorrow I will be all set to run the errands of picking up supplies and delivering donations. I am ready to get some things done.
....
Thanks to everyone that contributed to the ministry in 2010. Anyone that crafted up the items, donated supplies or funds and those that helped spread the word about the ministry all contributed to our success. Thank you to every one of you! We are looking forward to growing though out 2011. We want to reach out and help as many people as we can. This is going to be a great year!
