grateful, beautiful, amazing
Boxes and boxes of washcloths are still coming into us. One trip to the post office turns into a pull around to the back dock, load up, drive one truck full home, return for another truck full. Gratitude is one of the words that resonates in my mind when I’m lugging my three kids back...
project 8 on hold
Greetings from the land of incredibly grateful, humbled, and appreciative. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for everyone involved in Craft Hope. You blogged about Project 8, you spread the word through your social groups, you rallied others to join in. You stayed up late cutting, sewing and knitting, you got your...
Special Delivery.
The day of delivery is finally upon us! After spending hours on Saturday night, loading the Uhaul truck and eventually my xB, until 11pm with 65,000 Project 8 donations (although 35+ boxes still did not make it in the uhaul or my car due to the fact we ran out of room). Sunrise came rather...

We are having some growing...
15,000 towels :: largest project ever

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
