Warm Fuzzies

April 23, 2008

My sister Sarah gave me this book for my birthday.  I looked through it about 20 times but haven’t been able to decide on where to start yet – there is a lot of cute projects in there.  I think I’m going to start simple and try a cupcake pin cushion first.  That will be a quick weekend project.

The best thing about these projects is how easy they are to make…and there’s no knitting involved! Simply throw old wool sweaters into the wash to make fabulous felted material, then cut the pieces apart and use them to make felted goodies. Start with the sweet Cupcake Pincushion–they’re so easy, and so very cute!

March For Babies

April 10, 2008

March For Babies - Donate here!

The March of Dimes mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

The March of Dimes has changed the name of its biggest event to March for Babies. It’s a great change because it makes it very clear exactly who we are walking for — all babies.  It’s very exciting to be a part of the “first” March for Babies!

Although the name of this signature event changed, the mission did not.  The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation.  The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start.

Our team has joined thousands of compassionate teams across the country that support March for Babies.  Won’t you please help us in this worthy cause?  Join us in the walk that helps all moms and babies.
