Baby Baby

Good Morning All

Allsorts Challenge time again and guess whose turn it is to choose the theme,  yeheee, it's me!!!!!
The theme I chose is 'Baby Baby' so anything to do with babies, obviously.

Now you may have noticed that  this is not a card.!!!


I am showing you some of the hats that I knit with wool that is given to me by Linda from Animal Aid (one of the charities that I give my cards to ).

She has a stall on a local market to sell  the donated goods she gets and she gives me stuff that she thinks I can make use of.  So any odd bits of wool, she gives to me, 'cos she knows she  wont be able to sell them.
I knit these baby hats to go to babies and kiddies in Bucharest, ( see details below).  I give them to my MIL When she visits and she takes them back with her and gives them to Joan Elliot (Lions Charity) details of which is at the end of this post.

It does not matter what colour they are or how many colours are used on each hat.

Most of them are quite small but I do have some chunky wool to use, so I will use larger needles so they will turn out bigger.
As you can see, I use all small amounts of wool.  I,m sure the kids dont care how multi coloured they are.

I want to see any Baby creations - cards, layouts, gifts, any type of baby creation really.  I cant wait to come and visit you all.



Our sponsor this week is ---
Whiff of Joy    who  will give the  winner a  stamp of their choice.
                  

Have fun.

This is the email I received after asking for a little detail of the charity where the hats are going -------

Hello Wendy

Thank you for your interest in the charitable work that I do. I belong to City of Liverpool Lions Club, and one of the projects that we have is to support the charity Children in Distress by providing toys, clothing and blankets for a hospice/orphanage in Bucharest.

The charity works with the sick, the incurably and terminally ill, those with HIV AIDS or Autistic Spectrum Disorders, the physically handicapped and those who face a daily challenge for life as result of accident, infection, genetic or birth defects, those who daily race discrimination or religious persecution , the socially excluded, the desperate and disadvantaged children and families, the poorest of the poor.

St. Margaret’s Hospice provides palliative and respite care for up to 15 children with chronic neurological disorders and multiple handicaps, who would otherwise barely survive in general children's  wards in the overcrowded state hospitals.

Many parents are unable to care for a disabled child and St Margaret's Hospice provides the care and treatment that a child may need. Whilst some parents will continue to visit their child many parents abandon their child at the hospice.

More detailed information can be found at the website ... http://www.childrenindistress.org/whatwedo.php

Thanks for reading.
