Donation Day

Really cooled off and I am hoping the mosquitos are freezing and dying! Still bad the other day. I put out more bird feeders and have more to add as the natural food sources go away. Saw a chipmunk up in a feeder and I haven't quite figured out how he got up that high! The squirrels don't make it up there! 

Eventually my creations have to be sent along. As stated before I donate my things through the food pantry. The pantry does a thank you picnic in August for volunteers. I briefly talked to the director and asked when I could drop off things. She said "Anytime!" We set up and day and time, so that got taken care of late last week. 

In total I had 25 blankets and over 100 hats. I laid out the blankets on the bed in groups of six and four layers deep.  

Layer One

Layer Two

Layer Three

Layer Four

Layer Five a single!
  

The shelves as of August 29. I had pulled one color out to start with, so you do see one bit of open shelf. 

The floor of the closet with all of the blankets pulled out. The bags contain  yarn which I don't have room for on the shelves. I think there is enough yarn in the bags for 5 or 6 blankets! At my typical rate the amount of yarn I have should keep me for two years. I have been trying very hard not to look at yarn catalogs or websites so I don't get tempted to buy. I truly have no room!

I was in Michael's last week, they have more fabric and other sewing items but they haven't expanded their yarn department. Maybe the selection on line will be expanded. Time will tell.  

I hope those who choose these items enjoy them and get lots of use from them.
