Today the bracelets YOU made leave the United States headed straight for Russia. Approximately 35,000 bracelets were handmade. Handmade by children and adults. Handmade around the world. Handmade with one goal in mind. To touch the lives of orphans living on the streets in Russia. To those of you who made bracelets, thank you. To...
Really. Any time now I will be buried in an avalanche of beautiful blankets. It’s kinda cool. I have taken way to many pictures, so I have just made them into a bunch of collages. The girls and I have been having a blast! Every day after their nap we have a box opening party....
Hello out there in Blogland! It’s Jessie checking in with you on Project 13. The blankets are piling up, and I thought you might like a little peek. A while back the first of the blankets arrived at my door. I did post a bit about that here. The first box I opened contained 7...
Good morning! Due to some lovely and generous donations from Lark Books and Amy Butler, we have added one last update to the Craft Hope shop. There are 10 gorgeous mini quilts from the upcoming book Pretty Little Mini Quilts, three bags from Amy Butler (the actual bags – not patterns!), autographed books from Amanda...
Happy First Birthday to Craft Hope! Thanks to all of you and your loving work, Craft Hope has been in operation for one year. It has been a rewarding year of blankets and hats, dolls and sock monkeys, dresses and scarves, of a new book that has gone to print, and of an outpouring of support...
For those of you making scarves for the Orphan Foundation, the amazing Vickie Howell has created a tutorial to help you with the star stitch. Pattern for the scarf can be found in the sidebar. It’s a downloadable pdf. There’s still time to make a scarf, deadline is February 14th.
Wow. Just wow. Sarah here, stopping in to say thank you to everyone who has been part of the wild ride that is Craft Hope for Haiti. As I’m sure you’ve seen on the Etsy shop, we’ve been listing and selling items nonstop since Friday morning. The response from the craft community has been amazing...
We are back! We had some technical difficulties for the past few days and the Craft Hope site has been down. Thank you for your patience while we got things worked out. It said to contact billing which made it look like a billing issue, which it was not. From what my hubby told me,...
Hello, friends! It has been brought to our attention that we need to discuss sock monkey eyes. Because the monkeys will be given to children, safety must be seriously considered with the monkey eyes. Apparently one tutorial suggests gluing the eyes. This, obviously, is a bad idea for a child’s toy. A lot of us are...
I do not believe that things in this world happen by chance. On Friday, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be able to meet in person with Caroline Boudreaux, founder of the Miracle Foundation. Caroline is an incredibly giving individual who has committed her life’s work to helping the orphans in India. Her...
