Thank you, Patricia!





These beautiful baby items were made by Patricia from Port St Lucie, Florida. As you can see in the photos, Patricia sent in a sweet baby "cocoon", two wonderful star afghans, and some adorable ponchos and hats.

Thank you, Patricia, for your continued support of Marine Corps Kids. These gifts will be on there way to newborn babies very soon!

Thank you, Joy!




My apologies to Joy from Riverbank, California for not posting these pictures sooner! These gorgeous donations were received two weeks ago, but I didn't have the opportunity to photograph and post them until now.

As you can see in the photos, Joy made a lovely hooded sweater, some soft burp clothes, and many great hats and booties! The workmanship is beautiful!

I will be packing up many bundles for the babies this week, and I know that the new moms who receive these will be absolutely delighted.

Thank you so much, Joy, for your generosity!

Thank you so much, Elizabeth! Your work is beautiful, and the new moms will be thrilled with these gifts!

RIP Mary


These beautiful hats were made by Mary Sper, a regular donor to Marine Corps Kids.

I learned this week that Mary passed away last month at the age of 86. She died peacefully while sitting in her chair making hats for charity.

Mary loved to knit, and regularly donated hats to Marine Corps Kids and blankets to Project Linus. She will be missed by her family and friends and by all the people she touched through her crafting.
