Friends - you can crochet to help. The Connecticut PTA has asked for snowflakes to be sent to the school so that the Sandy Hook kids will be welcomed back in January to a winter wonderland. You can check out a page I created on Facebook for more details: www.facebook.com/SnowflakesForSandyHook

The address is there to send crocheted snowflakes to, and also paper snowflakes.

Hopefully your snowflakes are nicer than mine - I'm just learning :-)

Marcy, Even more than a week later, your words bring back the entire horror of that day. By now, all those babies have been buried, parents have cried themselves dry, and life is moving on for them and for the town, for the country.

But we will never forget.

Marcy- I too found myself reaching for my crochet. I opted for a granny square blanket though. A pattern, a stitch I've worked a million times helped me find comfort. I have never been so absorbed in such a simple project. I think it would be appropriate for me to donate the finished blanket to Project Linus.

Thanks for your words.

Hi Marcy,

Your words are very touching. It's tough not to think about this tragedy without tears in our eyes. I have been wondering all day how I might use weaving as service. I keep thinking about destruction and wondering if sharing our creative skills might help someone out there.

Hugs back at you,

Pattie
