Craft Hope: Project 16 The Little Warriors

The latest initiative from Craft Hope hits close to home. Jaime and I have a little friend who is recovering from surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumor. We know first-hand that a handmade gift can provide so much comfort during this devastating time for a family. If you would like to send some love to a child with cancer, here is a generous way to put your craftiness to good use…
So are you ready?!?…For Project 16 :: The Littlest Warriors, we will be collecting handmade beanies and bags for kids just like Pierce who are fighting cancer. Pierce’s mom, Melanie, has graciously volunteered to collect and distribute the items to the kids who need them most.
Here are the details:
We need BEANIES (hats) for babies through teenagers. All noggin sizes. They can be knit, crochet, fabric. You name it. They can be embellished with flowers and bows. But don’t forget about the boys. They need hats too. It’s very difficult to find adorable hats and we think this community is the best place to get them. There are a hundred and one patterns online for beanies/hats. If you have one you’d like to share post it in the comments and I’ll put up a post to share with everyone.
And…
We need BAGS for the kids to take with them to the hospital. They can be simple tote bag style or whatever suits your fancy. And if you are so inclined fill them up with goodies for the kids. Some ideas are books, puzzles, crayons, coloring books. The opportunities are endless. I’ll post ideas and suggestions shortly.
Visit Craft Hope for all of the details on this wonderful initiative.
