Look what God has done!


I  am so excited! We just found out that instead of just $216, we have raised $256! Thank you so much! Your support has gone really far - I did not expect to raise even close to that amount! Congratulations to the winning bidders! 

The winning bidders are:
Vickie R.
Alicia T.
Luke and Katie F.

The Q family leaves THIS WEEK, and if you would join us in praying for them, I'm sure they would appreciate it very much!  You can see their blog updates here, and there is a button to donate, if you'd like to help them cover their last expenses before they leave! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

My first fundraiser - Purple Baby Hat!

 
This is a super soft baby girl hat in bright purple (the picture doesn't do it justice).  It's approximately 4.5 inches from crown to bottom and 13 inches in circumference. 
 
Starting bid: $15

My first fundraiser - Chunky Brown Hat

 
My mom made this hat, which was, obviously, a little small for my brother and sister when she ran out of yarn.  But, if you have a little head that needs a hat and is somewhere between 1 and 4 years old, she is offering to make this hat for you in the size you can use!  It will be even more adorable with a big chunky button or something on the side!  This chunky brown yarn is super soft, full of fun flecks of different fibers, thick, and warm! 

 
Starting bid: $15

My first fundraiser! - Pink Sparkle Hat

 
This great hat is made from super soft yarn with a sparkly shimmer to it.  Ultra girly, with a beautiful double flower.  As you can see, it fits me perfectly.  We'd say it fits approximately size 7 and up. 

 
Starting bid $20 - just leave your bid in the comments!

My first fundraiser! - Newborn Newsboy/girl Hat

 
How sweet is this little Newsie Hat???  I helped my mom make this hat, actually.  She made it - but I helped her figure the pattern out.  We were hoping it would be a gift for my new cousin - but he was already too big for this one.  You can see a picture of him in his bigger one below!  We made him a new one - and we can say, now, that it's definitely a newborn size.  We can finish it off with a little strap across the front, if you want - or add a flower in the same or contrasting color, if your little newsie is a girl!  Would make a great baby (or Valentine) gift, either way!
 
Starting bid: $20.
 
 

My first fundraiser! - Washcloths Set


 
Set of two washcloths in the original Peaches and Cream yarn.  They are a soft 100% cotton in "camel" color.  :-)  As you can see, I almost ran out of yarn on the second one, but I managed to finish it - even if the edges are curling up a bit from my tight stitches!  But it has the same decorative pattern as the first, and they should both wash dishes beautifully.  My mom wants these, so I'm kind of waiting to see if she bids on them! 


Starting bid: $5!

My first fundraiser! - Love Buds Doll

 
How cute is she??  This doll's clothing is made from some of my softest yarn - and in bright, fun colors.  I went all out for Tobi and Josiah and even made her a matching headband!  Her dress and headband are originals, because I made them up myself!  As with all my Love Buds, she is made completely by hand, is baby safe, and also fun for all ages.  Similar dolls on Etsy are priced between $35 and $75.
 
Starting bid: $30!

My first fundraiser! (details HERE)

My dear friends and supporters,

I now ask you to support not me, but a friend of my mom's, Angel Q.  Her family is raising the last money they need to bring home two little boys, Tobi and Josiah.  You can see pictures and read their stories here.  We have been praying for them, and I am excited about doing a fundraiser to help them. I will be posting some crochet items on my blog and selling them in an auction. In the comments on each item's post, you can make your bid and see the bids of others.  If you cannot or do not wish to comment, you can simply message me via my facebook page, and we will update the bid for you.  Because it is a fundraiser for a great cause, I will be offering a starting bid suggestion, based on similar items on etsy.  All auction items will be open for bidding until Friday, February 15, 2013.  All money received from the auction will be going directly toward Tobi and Josiah's expenses in getting to their new home and forever family!  If you would like to help this family and receive a great crochet item in return, I invite you to bid on whatever catches your eye. Your donation will make a difference!

Thanks!  I'm excited to see what we can do together!
