Sewing - the innards for several more hot pads in different sizes

I made up a few more inserts for hot pads which used up the last few pieces of the sweater I cut up earlier.  They are different sizes but that will be fine.  I will cover them with flannel and then make covers for them.  
 

Cardmaking - IWIN cards as part of our activity

I brought along some prepared card kits for IWIN to our Gramma Link Africa social meeting this week.  In part to educate and have everyone get a hands on experience of helping out a group which supports those rescued from human trafficking.  It was very well received and everyone finished a card!!  A few more in the box which will go into backpacks in the spring!!

Sewing - potholders for the Food Bank

 

As part of our social meeting at our Gramma Link Africa I asked everyone to bring along something for the food bank.  I had called the Food Bank ahead of time and asked if they would take potholders and dishcloths to give out with their hampers.  They said that would work as there was a tree on which others had placed knitted toques and mittens.  So I prepped this six sets of potholders to add to the four bags we filled with our donations.  I dropped them off yesterday and I am sure they will be much appreciated.  Everyone who donated can then check off that item on their RACK list.  Check it out here!!

Sewing - more gift card holders for GA activity

 I made up a variety of the gift card holders I prepped a few weeks ago.  You can see the prepped one here.   After getting them all ready I developed this RACK to put inside.  I found quite a few on line and just picked the ones that worked best for my activity.  I handed these out at our Gramma Link Africa social meeting as an activity that everyone could do on their way to Christmas.  I suggested that they had put the little RACK on their fridge as a reminder to make some random acts of kindness between now and Christmas.  The gift card holder can be reused for this season or any time over the year when they are giving out a gift card.  No waste!!!
