a wonderful lady, who I actually met via my slimy ex husband....she doesn't know what happened to make him evil either and the fact that she knows him, doesn't shade her character at all. She is amazing! She is in Ethiopia meeting her babies for the first time!! Twins, a boy and a girl. I can't even imagine what she is experiencing right now!
She put the word out that the orphanage in Ethiopia, where her babies are currently residing, is in need of baby things. I am a maker and I had a huge stash of yarn and fabric, so I got busy. Well, the fabric is still piled in a laundry basket, still waiting for my machine to be fixed!!!

Here are some photos of some of the stuff I've made so far. My friend is going back to Ethiopia to retrieve her children in several weeks...this is a court appearance trip, so she'll deliver these things and whatever else I get finished, then.
So, a sneak peak:

these are different angles of the same blanket. Soo soft. 100% bamboo crocheted in a textured pattern. I love this blanket. It takes a bit of time, with the post stitches but very worth the effort.

| slate grey, with white, wool blanket. It is very light soft wool, not scratchy at all! |

Hmm that seems to be all I have taken photos of so far. Fun and exciting.
Such cute stuff. I think I recognize some of that yarn. Glad you could put it to such excellent use!!!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, I have had so much fun with the stuff you sent. Best. Gift. Ever!
DeleteYou want to make a crafter happy you give her material. My mom's love language is fat quarters. The boys choose that yarn to make the bunting bag. They LOVED it so much.
ReplyDeleteOh you are absolutely right! you should see the stack of fabric I got from a friend for christmas, AWESOME! Tell the boys they have amazing taste, and let them know what their gift is going toward. Yummy little punkins of yours!
