Charity Crochet and Friday Night Crochet-A-Long Fun…

Ahhhh,,, The weekend!!  I love Fridays… It means I will have two days off from work and get to focus on Crochet for some true therapy!! This week I shared some pattern reviews and mentioned the hats that were made for the review would be going to charity… Each month I participate in ELK Studio From The Heart Charity Drive… Kathy Lashley founded this group several months ago.  She has a Godly Heart and always is helping others!!  She also is an excellent Crochet Designer… You can check out her designs at ELK Studio Handcrafted Crochet Designs…

This month our group is sending our donated Crochet Items to the Hosanna Home…Hosanna Home is simply what it says: A home, where we welcome in women with life controlling issues. We help them get their feet back on solid ground physically, spiritually and emotionally.

Here are the items I am sending off today for the group donation…
