America...More Than Home of the Brave

Haiti has been hit and hit hard.  After watching endless hours of people suffering, let me say that I have never been more PROUD to be an AMERICAN.  The United States of America is FULL of loving, caring and giving people.  I have had the pleasure of assisting a group of women supply little hospital gowns, diapers and shoes to the children of Haiti.  Two totes go over per year.  My boss' wife alone sewed 125 dresses and countless diapers for the wee ones.

The children of Haiti suffer GREATLY in one of the poorest countries in the world.  Let's continue to pray for their survival.

Happy January & New Projects...

Perusing the wares of my favorite cross-stitch shop.....I was drawn to Kate & Lizzie's BOO CLUB. It's not a difficult project, just longggggggg.

This project consists of six leaflets called *Flip It's*...two patterns in each leaflet. It can be stitched as singles or put together. I chose to stitch all 12 as 1 project.

I didn't go with the suggested fabric...I chose to work on hand-dyed cashel, 28ct, antique almond.
