knitters without borders

As most everyone has heard by now, a devastating earthquake has caused terrible damage and taken many lives in Haiti. You may also have heard of a medical relief organization called Doctors Without Borders. I came across some yarn that donates a portion of proceeds to DWB and noticed a Knitters Without Borders badge on the page. After clicking on it, I decided it made more sense for my money to go straight to DWB instead of more yarn. If you would like to learn more, follow the links in this blog post and consider making a donation if you can.

bread art project

If you have some spare time, check out this website and create a piece of "bread art." For every piece of toast submitted, Grain Foods Foundation will donate one dollar to the hunger-relief charity, Feeding America. You can upload images onto the bread as well as use some cool digital tools to really get creative with your toast. My two pieces aren't very interesting but I'm a little short on time getting our income taxes filed and preparing for some houseguests!
