Ooooh it's chilly today!!

Man is it chilly out there today!! Only 65 degrees, 72 was supposed to be the high but it never got there!! Not freezing but makes it seem like it after 85+ temps all week.

Makes it cold enough you need a sweater or long sleeves, socks and shoes which many little ones don't have!!

If you knit or crochet, or even sew, please consider making some items for babies, toddlers, and little ones and donating them where you can. Your local community is great but don't forget about your online charities that need items to distribute in other places too!! Many of them send items to areas that don't receive help otherwise or don't have a lot of local charities to help and they need YOUR help to help those communities!!

Here's some pages to get you started:
Bev's Country Cottage
The Nursery
Friends of Pine Ridge Reservation
Love Afghans for PRRNewborns in Need
Warming Familes
Angel Crafts

All of these have places listed to send items, patterns to make items, and some are a charity themselves.

If you have extra yarn or supplies you'd like to donate but not the time, please contact one of them- I'm sure they'd be most grateful!!

On a different note I've been doing my favorite thing today... Freecycling!!! The lady who was supposed to pick up the 2 items I had for sale got mixed up and didn't show, but I met another lady with some wonderful little items of baby clothes!! Just a small sack full but they will keep a few babies warm this winter!! All currently smell of smoke but will turn out nicely I'm sure once they're washed. There were some really cute gowns, sleepers and other warm outfits there!!

Now back to crafting... just what to craft. Hmm.....

Have fun everyone!!
