tyler :: a littlest warrior
In our last post, Project 16 :: The Littlest Warriors, I mentioned that Melanie would be guest blogging over here on Craft Hope. What a blessing to have her writing in this space and sharing her stories. The following post is from Melanie… Thank you Mel! Today, maybe while you are reading this, Pierce should...
project 16 :: the littlest warriors
You never know when your life is going to change forever. In one subtle moment you can be stopped in your tracks. Uncertain. Scared. Devastated. For a close friend of mine, her life was altered three years ago. Pierce, her 18 month old, wasn’t feeling well so she took him to the doctor. Just like I...
blessings abound {i’m in the monkey business}
We have been as busy as Santa’s elves collecting, opening, counting, and sorting sock monkeys. I wanted to pop in and show you a few more pictures of the monkeys on Thanksgiving day. Behind the scenes I have been busy finding homes for all of the monkeys. Over 1,500 families lost their homes to wildfire....
thankful for 256 handmade sock monkeys
There are 256 sock monkeys in my dining room. Each and every sock monkey was handmade for kids who lost their home to wildfire here in Texas this past summer. Monkeys have come in packages of one and packages of 56. Yesterday alone five packages arrived on our doorstep. Five packages that contained 89 sock...
unintended consequences equal blessings
Did I lose you in the title of this post? Think about it for a second. Unintended consequences equal blessings. When we dive into a project we have a purpose and a goal. And sometimes, just sometimes the blessings spill over into avenues we didn’t expect. Lives are touched, changed, and blessings are abundant. My...
craft hope needs a laptop
Let me start this post off by saying that I hate asking for things. I don’t want to burden or bother anyone really ever. I’ve been able to run Craft Hope in such a way that there hasn’t been money exchanged – with the exception of the money we raised for Doctors Without Borders in...
fifty two monkeys, sitting in a tree.
My youngest, Chloe, likes to sing the alligator song. You know, the one about the monkeys sitting in a tree and the alligator snaps that monkey right out of that tree. Well, Chloe likes to sing it at the top of her lungs when we are sorting sock monkeys. I swear I couldn’t make this...
sock monkeys like chocolate
For Halloween, seventeen sock monkeys showed up on our front porch. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because word got out that we were passing out chocolate. It’s a pretty big deal when a box arrives on our front porch. Thankfully, today there were three boxes so each kid could grab a box. If there’s...
the little website that could {craft hope}
I have this little website. A website that started back in 2009 with the idea of spreading hope to others. The idea behind the website was that there had to be something more with this blog crafting community. It started with pillowcase dresses headed to an orphanage in Mexico. Twenty-nine dresses traveled with a missionary...
two, two sock monkeys {said in my best count voice}
Just a few days after I announced Project 15 :: Sock Monkeys for Texas a package arrived in my mailbox. My kids check the mail so it was a BIG DEAL that there was a package inside. How soon they forget what receiving donations for Craft Hope looks like. It’s awe inspiring. So the kids...
