From Old to Gold

11/06/2025

Your old yarn left overs, your old fabric scrap left overs, and your kids' discarded dolls and stuffies are easily transformed into little treasures for children around the world who may have little or nothing to comfort them in their grief or sorrow.
I look after this project for Canadian Food for Children, located in Kitchener.
Since 2019, I've made 735 of these carry bags for each of the 735 donations of stuffies and dolls.
The blankets are a new idea which just started this month.
These get sent to over 20 countries to kids who need more than solely their hunger fixed.
Fabric and thread is donated via my Facebook ads requesting such. Please consider donating to this cause. Thank you.

Old wooden crates, butter boxes, cheese boxes ... just stain and clear coat, stack and voila! Makes for interesting storage/display spaces.

I've been participating in a knitting/crocheting group in my church since last April. We make baptismal baby blankets, and prayer shawls. Here are two I made from all the left over yarn accumulation. Which looks better to you? N.B. - it's hard to make all the edges straight with a number of different yarns.

I'd forgotten I still had some beautiful ivory upholstery fabric sitting around for nothing. SEW I added 6 new ivory place mats to my existing collection of 4 for Valentine's Day.
