Good things...lots of fun knitted and crocheted items were made in the first Honor Mom Charity Knit-along. Here is a photo of the fun miniature hats for premie babies, beautiful chemo hats, a few scarves and lots and lots of gorgeous, fun flowers for women re-entering the job market. The items were made by the Knittsters, a group of wonderful women (who have graciously allow me to be a member) in honor of their moms. So one more time, "Mom, this is in honor of you!"
Good people...the premie hats will be mailed to our local chapter of Newborns in Need. This group helps provide clothing and supplies for newborns to families struggling to make ends meet. You can find more information including a local chapter in your area at http://www.newbornsinneed.org/. The chemo hats will be donated to a local hospital - check with your own local hospital to find out their needs. Some of the hats and scarves will go to North Hills Community Outreach in our area - a wonderful organization that serves families and those in need. Finally, the flowers will go to Dress for Success, a program that assists women re-entering the job market who need work appropriate attire. Visit http://www.dressforsuccess.org/ for more information.
Good times...volunteering to serve others by doing something as fun as knitting with my best friends and thinking about our moms. How will you serve others today?
