partriotic pillowcases - Heads at Ease

I love to sew.

I love to give.

I found out how to do both!!!

Heads at Ease (a wonderful play on words, by the way), makes and ships pillowcases to our military stationed overseas.  This also gives me a way to support our military.

If you sew and want to get involved, please contact Sue and let her know.  She is a super nice lady and is very patient to answer all your questions.  She even emailed me some instructions for sewing pillowcases.  They are very easy and I think a good project for the beginner seamstress.  I still love easy projects. :)

If you don't sew, but want to help out, you can donate financially.  Just visit the site to find out how. 

When you visit the site, be sure and check out the thank you notes sent by the recipients; especially the USS Truman.  They are heartwarming!



Until next time... JenT

gifts they love

You can see what Mamaw got the kids for Christmas this year...

...they were all excited...

...and couldn't wait to pose on them...

...or push them...

...or try to avoid a picture...

...or just freely ride them...

...or inspect them...

...or help a sibling enjoy theirs...

...in other words they all had a fabulous, grand time with their gifts.

Until next time...

"hair" today, gone tomorrow

Unfortunately, I forgot to take before pictures. So just imagine that her hair is a foot longer than what is shown here.

Her hair was about the same.

The hair that will be sent to Wigs For Kids.

Both girls decided to donate 12 inches of their hair to Wigs For Kids. Wigs For Kids is a non-profit organization that takes donated hair and makes wigs for children suffering from cancer and other illnesses that cause them to lose their own hair. The difference in Wigs For Kids and Locks of Love, is that Wigs For Kids makes the wigs available to the children for free.

Until next time...
