I just wanted to check in with a quick post because I have not written much lately. We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring. My side work slows dramatically when the warm weather arrives so I will have a lot more time for adding to our stock of supplies. It may seem odd to be crocheting a warm winter cap on a hot day but the more I make when I have time, the more people I can help.
Have you ever seen the show "Secret Millionaire"? It airs here on Sunday nights. This past week the show took place on Skid Row. They covered the story of a man that brings clothing and hygiene kits to the streets where the items are needed. The millionaire of this show was so surprised to see that the people that came to take the items that were being offered were only taking one item. He expected the first couple of people to scoop up everything and leave nothing for the others. I found it especially touching. We take the things that we have for granted until they are no longer there. Something as simple as a new pair of shoes can be life changing for someone in need. During this particular episode there were also at a shelter that had a lot of similarities to the Susan B. Anthony Project. I highly recommend this show. Just be sure to have a tissue handy
If anyone is in need of prayer shawls I have some at my home. There are also currently two available at the church. I just ask that if you take one of the shawls from the church that you let me know so that I can record it. and replace it. I keep a record of donations that come in and go out.
I wanted to share a photo a photographer sent me of a newborn hat I made. Spring is in the air!
