I am writing this post to ask for help. That’s right, I can’t do it alone. For over a decade now my husband and I have been supporting the Lily of the Valley orphanages in Mexico. There are 3 total (so far). 1 is located in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and 2 others are located in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. Each Christmas I like to coordinate a Hat and scarf drive for the children of the orphanages. This is a chance for children to receive a new hat and scarf set made with love. This year once again I am running the drive. We are in need of hats and scarfs for both sexes and for ages Infant to 18 years of age.
You can make any style of hat. It can be crochet, knit, loom, or sewn. Our goal is to receive 800 sets. This will ensure that each child will receive a set. I would also like to request baby blankets (approximately 33 x 35 inches) or lap afghans for the younger children. Many people seem surprised to learn that Mexico has some very cold regions. Not every part is tropical. I hope you will consider participating.

Giveaway time! Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Set
It’s Giveaway Time!
It’s no secret that I love to crochet. I would crochet 24/7 but alas so many pesky things like housework get in the way. I had seen this set at Wal-Mart and was curious about it. It retails at my local Wal-Mart for $19.99 which is a great price since it comes with 7 crochet hooks (Size D /3.5mm to K /6 1.5 mm) , yarn needles and a carrying case. It also doesn’t hurt that it’s pink which is one of my favorite colors. I wanted to try them out and see if they really were comfortable. I’m always looking for ways to cushion my metal hooks. I will even wrap a rubber band around my hooks and then slide a gel pencil/pen grip over the top to help avoid hand pain and fatigue.
