visiting the institute for marine mammal studies
Donations are coming in and the numbers are astronomical. In yesterday’s mail alone we received over 1,500 towels. We are scurrying as fast as we can logistically trying to figure the best way to collect this number of towels and get them distributed to the organizations that need them most. We are having some growing...
15,000 towels :: largest project ever
The response to Project 8 :: Gulf Coast Oil Spill has been phenomenal. We have thousands of people organizing, collecting, and making towels. Corporations stepping in and setting up collections. We are partnering with nonprofits around the globe to collect and make towels to help clean the marine life. As of today, we have collected...
kids and craft hope
Craft Hope was started a year and a half ago with the idea that maybe, just maybe there is a community of people out there that want to make things for others. It all started with a pillowcase dress, an orphanage in Mexico, and twenty -five bloggy friends. We didn’t know where we were going....
a podcast and a cockatoo
I’ve spent the weekend trying to figure out Twitter. How to tweet, retweet, reply, direct message… you get the idea. The Craft Hope Facebook page is tied to our Twitter account, but other than that I hadn’t really spent much time ‘tweeting.’ I sincerely apologize to those of you who have felt neglected by my...
we have faith, hope, and we can work

craft hope for the earth
So there has been lots of brainstorming going on around these parts about the different ways we can step up and help when needed. Natural catastrophes happen. Man made accidents that affect our environment and our world happen. And we CAN do something. We don’t have to just sit back and be spectators. This is...
audubon nature institute
Due to the overwhelming response to Project 8 :: Gulf Coast Oil Spill, The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies will be sharing the donations with the Audubon Nature Institute and the Mississippi Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge. Now we will not only be supporting the clean up efforts of the dolphins and turtles, but of...
why dawn soap?
We have had many questions about the type of soap to send along with your rags and washcloths for Project 8. The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies requested bottles of Dawn. Animal rescue organizations choose Dawn because it removes the greasy oil while being gentle to delicate feathers and skin. This year Dawn has a...
turtles and towels
We’ve had some really great questions about the towels to be donated to Project 8. The Gulf Coast Oil Spill post has been updated with ‘frequently asked questions’ so you might be able to find some answers there. We’d love to encourage you to repurpose materials if at all possible. You can cut up old...
project 8 :: gulf coast oil spill
I have sat transfixed to my computer. Clicking image upon image of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I have watched a video of Jacques Cousteau’s grandson diving in the toxic mess to show us what it’s really like underwater. Being a scuba diver and lover of the ocean I am sick to...
