Saturday charity check-in

I belong to a wonderful Yahoo group. It's a small gathering of some very strong-willed, like-minded women using their crafting abilities to make items for charity. We have a database of charities we are in involved with, including contact information for other members in case they are looking for a new charity to help.

We have an annual goal of how many items we would like for charity a year as a group. Last weekend, the total for the 137 of us is 14,395. **This week's total is at 14,997.**

What will it be tonight? How much progress have we made in one week? I can hardly wait to find out! I'm having such a great time with this. With all of the wonderful yarn I was blessed with, I can pay it forward to these folks in need. I'll update the number again later when the (very patient) moderator is done with the counting.

My count as of last night was 16 caps for NICU/school programs, 4 dishcloths for shelter, 1 potholder, 1 small child's play clutch, 1 scarf, 3 squares.

It may slow down a bit this week. If I didn't know better I'd say every speck of collagen in my body is staging a revolt.

Golden State Warriors--see games, help research!

The NBA team, Golden State Warriors, are doing a GREAT thing for the National Brain Tumor Foundation (remember the walk I did with my friends in October?). They will donate $5 of every ticket purchased through team representatives Christine Young & John Beaven. If you call them, they'll hook you up.

John : 510.986.2237 - jbeaven (at) gs-warriors (dot) com

THANK YOU WARRIORS!

I only wish this was in my state. This news was too great to not share!

Desperately needing something to get away from work and studies for a few minutes at a time, I started working on my son's Babette blanket last night. I'm loving the color scheme on this one! I will post a pic at another time.
