We saw the end of the 2018 through with these amazing volunteers...

Our annual Red, White and Blue month! These items will be off to the VA Hospital.

"Thank you so much," Susan Lombardi told us as we dropped off items at Woodwinds Hospital on Friday, Oct. 26, 2018. In all, we donated 11 shawls, 2 capelets, 11 blankets and 45 hats.

"This is the time of year we're going through stuff," she added. She praised the quality of the workmanship of the items we dropped off. "When it's handmade, it's very personal for people."

Three boxes included 129 hats and one teddy bear. Of those, 84 were infant/premie. At a rough estimate of $15 a hat, that's a donation valued at about $2,754.

I know a woman in Finland who is a true Wonder Woman, battling cancer with a smile on her face. Rare and powerful. When I heard that a my mom's cousin's daughter was diagnosed with cancer in April, I started working on a shawl for her. It took a bit as I worked through gardening season, but I finished it in the fall and shipped it over. May it bring you strength, Danna.
