Crochet Donations
One of the reasons that I craft is to be able to share these items with others. When I was diagnosed with RA and Fibromyalgia I made a decision that as long as I could crochet, I would. I would also try to share as much as possible with others what I made.
​
In 2015 I was able to start really focusing on donating with Reddit's Santa's Little Helpers. I had received help there and wanted to give back in any way that I could. I sent out 17 gifts and it felt wonderful.

2015 Donations
I started the new year with the goal of making at least 30 items in 2016 to donate.
Planned 2016 Donations
At the midway point for the year I am well on track to meet my goal. 18 gifts are completed with several WIPs pending.
Want to Help?
I love making gifts but since I'm disabled and not working I could use help with getting supples. I go through a lot of yarn!
​
I really appreciate any donations of supplies that can be sent my way. If you are in my local area (Granville County, North Carolina) I can arrange to pick up directly. If not, just send me a message for my mailing address to ship supplies. I have even been able to arrange with other Reddit users a yarn swap where they send me supplies and I purchase yarn for them that covers the cost of shipping.

Needed Supplies
-
Yarn in any color, weight or yardage. Leftover yarn from completed projects is perfect! I'm making a focus on amigurumi so small quanities isn't a problem and can be exactly what I need. Novelty yarns, one-off skeins and unfinished/unwanted projects will all be used. Pretty much if you don't see a use for it but it's "too much" to throw away, please send it my way.
-
Polyfill Stuffing for all the dolls and stuffed animals.
-
Felt and Fleece in any color, weight or yardage for detail work on dolls and for lining purses, etc.
-
Embroidery Thread in any color. Unwanted/Incomplete cross stitch projects can be sent for upcycling.
-
Buttons/Zippers/Costume Jewelry for detail work on purses and other wearable gifts. Unwanted/Broken purses and jewelry can be sent to be upcycled.
