[NFB-Krafters-Korner] My teaching experience

Wed Jan 27 20:33:18 UTC 2021

Amen and Amen Regina, Terry and I belong to our Churches knitting group, and donate hats, scarves and mittens to a local homeless shelter, and we also make lap blankets for the Wounded Warriors who are in the walter Reed Army Hospital.
You mentioned God, well, did you know that He is the Moderator of this group?
Here is a little tip if you plan to donate your items, check with the location first, some places may not be accepting items due to the Covid virus.

To add to Shelley’s post, Tanya Harris Van Houten showed me the same message although she might not know it, which makes it even better. I made a hat and sent her a picture. She called me up with some tips. That in itself to me was awesome. Then she sparked something in me. I want to be like her and donate my projects to homeless shelters and hospitals, especially kids with cancer!! Her kindness and thoughtfulness was passed on to me and I hope I get the chance to pass it on!! Thank you Tanya!!!!  I even had a friend offer to donate money for the yarn and had, for some reason, bought a bunch of random yarn from Herschners because of Tammys generosity. Thank you Tammy!!!! Lol. Not sure but I think God had a little to do with it!!  Thank you to Krafters Korner for letting me join!! You all are awesome and inspiring!!!!!!
