A visit

A few days ago I had the pleasure of a visit from two of the projects supporters -Isabel and her daughter Freya. They must have had trouble squeezing into the car because with them,  they brought so many bags full of gorgeous, beautiful donations. Hundreds of things and all of them wonderful!

Perfect pastel cardigans above and below, lots and lots of clothes for babies and children 

stationery supplies

Twenty crochet blankets made by Ray

Brightly coloured bootees and jumpers

So, huge thanks are owed to Isabel, Freya, Frances and Ray thank you  so much for continuing to support the project.

Otley knitters

More gorgeous knits from the ladies at Otley knitting group. I just love the idea of diamond patterned patchworks and I think I am going to attempt to make one with some of the wonderful squares that have been donated recently.

Thank you so much for your wonderful donations!

A great mix of things

A lovely red blanket, colourful jumpers and two cute dolls were sent in by our very regular donor Sue in Northampton.

Another supporter of the project sent in 3 lovely toddler sized hats and 3 fantastic sets of sanitary pads complete with drawstring bags, they are made from such pretty fabrics and will make the recipients a lot more comfortable. Thank you so much for your efforts,  that slight curve in the centre gives the pads such a great shape!

Beautiful blankets

Today I received a parcel which had two absolutely beautiful baby blankets inside. Both made in pastel colours and both crocheted. This lady has donated frequently and everytime I get a parcel from her I am reminded how much I wish I could crochet, I think my new year’s resolution will be to finally learn!

Thank you so much for the blankets, they are wonderful.
