Social Work!

Spencer and I were at the orphanage tonight. It was great to get back to work. We will do a Christmas party for the kids on the 22nd of December. That means I have to get to work on more hats! We had over 40 kids tonight. I don't know how many will show up for the Christmas party.

I have 15 hats so far... this is just a few of them. I will try to get to twenty five. The children at the orphanage range in age from toddler to teen.

Most of the hats were made from things I have in my stash. Some of the yarn was more expensive then others. I made purchases in America, Italy, Ukraine and Russia. So the hats are international!

I went shopping for yarn today with two friends. They had never seen this store before and it was fun to experience it with them.

The red skein is for a young lady here who is ten. I told her I was going shopping and asked her if she needed anything. She needed red, yellow and blue. I found a great red so I picked that up. She makes clothing for her Barbies and toys so I wanted to encourage her efforts.

It was fun to watch the other women shop. Everyone went home with several skeins of yarn!

We are planning to make around 75 hats for all the children at an orphanage here in town. I am sure this will not be our last trip to get yarn!
