Thank you, Faith!


Today I received a box from Faith in Washington State. Faith is a new to Marine Corps Kids and sent in some really beautiful pieces!

In the photo you can see a really beautiful pink quilt, 4 adorable pairs of booties, and 3 sweet terry cloth bibs. I love them!

Thank you so much, Faith! These items will be packed up for the babies soon!


edited 11-15-11: Wow! Just got a comment about this donation on Facebook from Faith's mom. Faith, who made all these, is just 13 years old! So much talent and such a giving heart in one so young! Thank you so much, Faith!!!

Thank you, Sharon



This adorable sweater and bootie set was made and donated by Sharon from Colorado. This little sweater is soooooo adorable. The photos do not do it justice! I love the neckline and the yarn used!

More from Oregon




A box arrived yesterday from Oregon. In it were 3 gorgeous blankets and some cute hats and booties.

There was no note in the box, so I'm not sure who to thank for these lovely donations. We have many talented crafters in Oregon.

If you made these, please leave a comment so that I can properly thank you! These gifts are beautiful and will be treasured by the families who receive them!

(11/3/11) Thank you to the commenter who notified me that the middle blanket with the diagonal pattern was made by Flo from Oregon! Flo is new to crochet, and obviously learning very quickly! The blanket is gorgeous!
