Embraceable Wraps is reaching out and spreading love...

This morning, I awoke to a new follower on Twitter, Embraceable Wraps.  I zipped over to the profile and was so impressed with their goals, outlook and enthusiasm that I wanted to share it with you today.

The goal is to provide items such as wraps, blankets, hats, and socks for women undergoing chemotherapy.  They also have a vision to create an online market of items such as yarns, shawls, sweaters, blankets, and pins for purchase.  Hooray!

Do visit the What We Do section to learn how Teri and Lois teamed up with 21st Century C.A.R.E. to make a difference for so many women...and this is just the beginning of their journey.  Please learn how you can help them reach their goals, follow them along on Twitter, for updates,  and visit their website, embraceablewraps.org. You can help them bring much needed sunshine and love into the life of someone faced with cancer treatments.

Don't you love how knitting and crochet changes lives, inspires people and provides some much needed gratitude in the world?  Amazing goodness...

Margaret- still knitting and crocheting in public, are you? Remember to bring your projects with you this week.  They need some fresh air and sunshine, too.

I had so much fun crocheting a chemo cap at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens over the weekend.

Today a few more hand knit and crocheted goodies went to Annie's Gifts for Chemo, a Ravelry Group started by Kathleen Greco (bluesmoothie on Ravelry) and JellyYarns.com.  This group provides small gifts for chemo patients.  Please contact Kathleen (if you aren't on Ravelry, visit her contact page) for a complete list of items they need or if you have any questions about this wonderful gift of love for cancer patients.

Make a decision to enjoy every moment and allow the small miracles to occur.  The big miracles are on the way.  It's that rolling snowball thingy kicking in for you.
