F
IS FOR … FLAMINGO
We’re
working on some motifs that are going to be added onto blankets, in my
case. The blankets are meant for
children undergoing chemotherapy and these little motifs will fun up a simple
blanket and spread smiles.
The
donation goes to Project Chemo Crochet – an organization working towards
spreading cheer for chemotherapy patients.
Read all about them on their webpage or Facebook page of the same name.
