I want to tell you about a project I am participating in. It is called Craft Hope and it is a series of charity projects that you can get involved in by being crafty.
Currently they are collecting items for babies in an orphanage in India. The dead line for them to receive your item(s) is July 25, quite soon. Luckily the items that are required are not very hard to make. You can make caps (like the ones I made for Mama to Mama), handkerchiefs, blankets. You can knit, sew, crochet. What ever you can do.
I sewed a blanket and three hankies, and sent them in, so they can hopefully be put to good use in caring for babies that don't have anything at all.
If you want to participate or learn more about the project, go to the Craft Hope blog. You can also see how many items have already been made.
