~ a TMNT hat (with pattern) ~


 
Here's another TMNT hat for James - this one has an orange stripe for Michaelangelo.  He hasn't asked for the other 2 yet, but if he does, I'll be making them too.  Good thing they're quick and easy.  :)

    What a darling hat!

    I read in the paper last week where they are asking people not to send things to Newtown because they are overwhelmed with things and have no way to store or to distribute. They've also received something like 40 million dollars! Can you believe it?

    That's clever: every day he can be another TMNT ;-)
    He must be very happy with his grandmother! (not only for the hats, of course)

    Love the hat Debi....you are always making something that is cute, you are so creative. Hope this is a better year for everyone. We could all use some cheerfulness and better luck. 2012 ended on such a sad note for so many people, the idea for making blankets for victims is a positive one. If something more definite is planned I think I could find a bit of time to make something. Let us know if you hear anything more.

    Hi there Susanne, I am Amanda. I have been trying to find the needed information to be able to donate the blankets. I am hoping to donate them directly to the families, and if not directly, to a charity that is involved with the Sandy Hook families. Thank you for your interest. http://handmadewithlove2013.blogspot.com/ is my blog, I have recently changed its name so I wanted to make sure that people who were interested could find it. I have found one charity, Project Linus that donates blankets to children who are suffering from illnesses, which may be a way to donate the blankets to those in need. Like I said I am still looking for information so please keep an eye out for an update.
