If you read the last post you'll know that I did a Christmas event here on Bute on Saturday 30th selling (well, trying too!!) some of my crochet scarves & wrist warmers.
I had asked for donations of hats, gloves & scarves on the day and was lucky to get 2 big carrier bags full of items.
There were loads of pairs of gloves, some warm fleecy beanie hats and lots of scarves.
After sorting them all out I
packed them up into 2 parcels
to go out to 2 seperate
homeless outreach projects
in Glasgow.
I was amazed at how many items there were and am really thankful to the lovely ladies who donated the items.
Unfortunately it was a quiet-ish day and I didn't sell much but the money I did make will be used to pay the postage on the parcels I send out in the future.
It has been very cold & icy here this weekend, I just can't imagine how people cope being out on the streets in weather like this; sadly not all of them do cope and the numbers of those dying is rising all the time.
I took a ball of yarn & my crochet hook along to the event and managed to make half a scarf - am hoping to get it finished tonight and sent out some time this week with some more scarves & wrist warmers to another outreach project.
If you've got a few mintues to spare please give this blog post a read.
Very grateful to have been featured.
