My friend Kathy C. made 50 hats for Haiti. Look at them all! I only made one for Haiti. Kathy realized after a bit that she could crochet them much faster than knit them. They are all cotton and all ready to send a warm and caring message to families a world away. There is good in this world. The simple act of creating something for someone else to wear is pretty profound in this day of anonymity, I think. If you have never knitted for charity.....well you simply must try it. The feeling is wonderful .....and that's from the giving end!
Here is beautiful Hero, or Tank as we often call him. Formerly known as Helo, Al's half Siamese boy.
Tank comes alive at night. He plays with Beatles a bit now. He is a shy boy . He is talkative! I think he's beautiful. Wait till I show you his aqua eyes...they are stunning. But he's too shy for close ups yet.
Happy Workend or Weekend to you

I love the name Tank and think you should call him that all the time. He is a very sturdy cat, and gorgeous!
Crafting for charity is a win-win situation. I love it!
Our knit group did a charity knit two years ago. We knit 73 hats for a homeless shelter in Racine, WI. We even made the local paper. It was quite exciting knowing our hats were really appreciated.
Fabulous on the hats. People like that inspire me. Right now, I just need to hit for my friends. One had a baby last week, one was due on the 17th and hasn't delivered yet, another has a shower next week, and another...
Hem. But first comes dinner.
that is a picture of a picture, not a postcard,...but what a cute idea

Alyssa,.....You can still think of him as HELO! :)
Those hats are wonderful. Our fellowship sponsors a husband and wife missionary team in Hati. They have been there for over 25 years.
Just beautiful. (the hats)
Cute kitty. I'm sure he'll warm up soon.
