States Update

Got Arizona items officially mailed off. As you can see...still needing causes for a lot of states. Help me out with any ideas!

Incidentally, I found this Alabama CSNA charity on Lionbrand.com, but after repeated attempts to contact them, I'm not convinced they exist. Other ideas or information are welcome!

I'm such a square...

A friend of mine and a co-member in Homespun Helpers, Robyn, is collecting 7x7 squares for a project she is driving called "Warming Omaha". I had just enough tiny little remnants that I was able to make 10 squares, leaving only one little remnant ball left (I'm very excited).

So here they are!

Actually not for charity

But a finished project, nonetheless...

Thanks to the US Men's Gymnastics team for keeping me up so I could finish :D And it's not for charity. *shocking*

Arizona

Once upon a time, earlier this year, a lady joined Homespun Helpers. She explained that her son, who had been born premature, is turning ten this year, and to honor him she was going to make a ton of preemie sets for a local contact.

Not content with this goal, this lovely lady has now also undertaken the task of making beautiful hats for sailors on her sister's ship. She has recruited friends to help her in both goals, and she has added a great sense of humor, not to mention dedication, to our little group of crafters.

Choosing a cause for Arizona, her home state, was of course a no-brainer. And so, , five hats with 5 pairs of socks will be coming your way.
