From the Heart of Texas - January

Can I brag about my charity knit/crochet group called FROM THE HEART OF TEXAS? I am just so proud of these ladies. This charity group focuses on one charity a month (because we couldn't choose just one). January's focus was on The Star of Hope, a homeless shelter for families. Not only did these ladies fill a huge bag full of handknitted and hand crocheted items ranging from a blanket, to hats, vests, scarves, etc., but they also cleaned out their closets and donated coats, clothing, baby blankets and toiletries. Here is a photo of the hand made items.



February's focus is on a Title 1 Elementary School. For those of you not in Texas, that means a disadvantaged school. We are going to make hats, scarves, mittens, gloves, etc. for the teachers to give to the students. Well, we will actually give them to the principal, but you get the idea. Every little bit helps that's for sure!
