May 2013 Tally

The summer is here and we are now all crocheting and knitting in the heat. It always gives me a funny feeling to make cold weather items in this weather. Well, we are steaming along into our third month of our 2013 SHOL project for the Union Mission. Our total for the month of May is a total of 11 items.

MAY 2013 MONTHLY BREAKDOWN
4 completed sets (hat & scarf)
4 scarves

GRAND TOTAL BREAKDOWN
7 completed sets
7 scarves
2 hats

We are almost half way through our SHOL season. Thank you for all your efforts. Let's keep those hooks and needles going team!

Our 2013 Project is for...

The Union Mission in Norfolk, VA. http://www.unionmissionministries.org/ Our official kickoff will be April 1. When I called them to see if they had a need for a certain amount of winter sets, she said that it was way more than we could fulfill so just give as much as we can. As a result, the SHOL team has no set number goal of sets for this project. Let's just get started and do our best. As usual, I will request a monthly tally of completed sets to keep each other encouraged. Let's pick up our hooks and needles with gusto and worship our Lord with our hands. Have an amazing Easter ladies!

Dust off those hooks and needles - 2013 Project Coming Soon

Easter is this month and I'm currently narrowing down this year's project. There are so many people in need in Hampton Roads and this year there seems to be a greater numbers of people facing homelessness. At the same time, my heart longs to create items (wheelchair/ walker totes, wheelchair shoulder wraps, etc.) for seniors in low-income nursing homes. So many needs I feel our hooks, needles and two hands can fulfill. Prayerfully considering all our options for our 2013 project. We'll be kicking off on April 1 but I will unveil our project a few days earlier. Our 2013 project is coming soon!

Final SHOL 2012 Tally

The grand total is 35 sets!

Thank you for helping the Lighthouse Center provide 35 people a little extra warmth this winter. May the Lord repay you many times over for the time, love and money you have each vested into each handmade piece.

I also want to thank three new contributors for this year: Susan from NY, Kathy from PA and my own dear mom. I'm also extending a warm welcome to a new member, Donna from GA, who just found us online and is excited about joining hands with us on our next project.

It's a wrap for our 2012 project. You'll hear from me next year around Easter. Enjoy your holidays ladies and feel free to give those hooks and needles a rest! ~ Sandra
