Let's help some babies stay warm this winter!

Winter is here and it's time again to help some babies stay warm. Since I am going to spend the holidays in Romania I have decided to make a donation to an orphanage in Bucharest. What better Christmas present for some poor abandoned babies than the gift of warmth in a very cold country this time of the year! I am putting all my love into every piece I have knitted in the hope that my work will make a little difference. If you find yourself compelled to make a hat, a sweater, a pair of booties or anything else your imagination lets you create, please feel free to make a donation. There will be a baby wearing your piece of art and smile.

Covenant House

Last month I took a bunch of knitted and crochet items to Covenant House. They have a Mother/Child program created to help pregnant teenagers and young mother. Our donation was very well received. I was so happy to be able to contribute and I am hoping we can help the program more in the future. We also have a new team member, Nikki who knitted 2 baby hats (see picture). I couldn't have gotten better girls for this project. They can fight and they can knit. But mostly they were willing to spend their time for a good cause. Thank you ladies! We can show that martial arts nurtures wonderful giving people of many talents.

Mrs. S

I have received a nice donation from Mrs. S. Her items are absolutely adorable. In a couple of weeks we will be ready to go to the Covenant House and make the donation. It will be our last donation till the fall. We are hoping to have a lot of items till then. Summer time will be knitting time!

Sisters of Life

Last week, Ria and I went to a place called SISTERS OF LIFE and donated everything we made for the last month or so. There were about 18 baby hats and several pair of booties. The Sisters were grateful and we are hoping they will send us pictures of the babies wearing the hats. Ria and I decided to start on a new batch to deliver it in February at a place called Covenant House. Many teenage mothers and their babies are given shelter there and they could use our items. We are hoping to improve our skills and dare to knit more than hats. Well, got to go back to knitting....Happy New Year!

Thank You Adelina!

Adelina donated five skeins of blue baby yarn and I have already finished one baby hat. Thank you, Adelina, for your donation! I look forward to the day when we can make the donation. It's coming up soon!
