Hi ladies, I hope you have enjoyed the last few months and feel refreshed. With Easter right around the corner, I will shortly announce Sew Hooked on Love's 2012 project. I am prayerfully narrowing down our choices. I love starting our projects around Easter, it helps me remember why I'm doing what I do. Because Christ loves me and His love compels me to love others, even in seemingly small ways. Our deadline will always be November 1. My desire is to free us up for November so we can tend to our holiday preparations.
This year, there will be a few changes. I will be moving to CT for 1 - 4 years. My husband was given surprise orders and we are rolling with the changes. However, my friend and fellow SHOL member, Elizabeth, has enthusiastically offered to help carry on the part of SHOL's work that needs a local contact. Me and her will share admin duties and she will be the one who will collect and deliver our items.I will crochet and mail my stuff to her. So, SHOL emails may come from me or Elizabeth. She is an awesome friend and sister in Christ. Please copy both of us on any email correspondence.
I want to thank all of you for joining us for another year. We each pay for our own yarn and we spend hours working on things for people we will never meet. Honestly, the fact that you joined this group says a lot about your desire to give. I thank God for each of you and your big giving hearts. Thank you!
Last piece of business, we are always looking for volunteers to join our ranks of hooks and needles. Please pass on the word to friends and family who may be interested in something like this.
Love, Sandra
P.S. - I called the For Kids Homeless Shelter this week and they reported back that they distributed every single one of our 110 donated pieces. Yay! I wish we could have seen the kids enjoying the items but, understandably, the kids at the shelter cannot be photographed. Let's gear up for another year of meaningful giving.
