So Much TO TELL YOU , so LITTLE TIME

Now you shall Find out why my name sake is what it is

Cricket.....all the chirping that shall take place...

First Off ....I need to finish the story on the suitcase find....that will have to wait...

HEART SQUEEZING MOMENT>>>>>>

Last Thursday I finally had an answer to a long prayer I had out there to PAPA.... So you all know who I am talking about I call my Heavenly Father - PAPA.....It is with the upmost respect and term of endearment.... Now to give you a little background - I consider myself spiritual not religious....I have many friends from several different faiths.... What bonds us together is The Threads of Truth...That is what I choose to believe in.... I don't push my opinions on anyone and I respect others beliefs...So with that said....I had been praying for over a year for a place to donate my scarves and hats and other goodies that I make ......Every place I would find, they had enough stuff- or they only wanted money...not even my time....What I have to give is my time and talents....I wanted something that I could help make people smile and feel good.....I know for myself I have my happy scarves or shoes...oh don't forget about my happy socks...let me tell you they help alot....enough said on that subject...


Well here it is.....I am at my class on Thursday and one of the ladies had some yarn that had been donated to her and she asked if any of us needed any yarn.....NOT ME....I still getting my stash down (12 large totes down to 2 in just a few weeks already back upto 5-I didn't buy anymore).....But y'all know what I'm talking about when I say yarn, fabric, and stuff like that multiplies.....In the middle of the night the yarn and fabric fairies get together and load you UP...

SO anywhoooo..

I say no thanks....Miss Ruth asks again later just to make sure and says how she got the yarn in the first place and why.....she makes hats and donates them to the oncology/hematology affiliated with The City of Hope- here locally or this area

ROCK ON.....Perfect....They can use my scarves, hats and then I find there is a need for Blankets for when they sit in the chemo chairs... A 40 x 40 size...folks

So here we are.....I had a stash of fun scarves n hats.....30 each to be exact.....We tagged them with a special little tag said made with love just for you....Away we went....Ruth introduced me to the nice poeple ...They said that one day they had a 11 new people come in to start chemo....This is something dear to my heart...I have had family and dear friends that have had cancer and some are still fighting the fight and some put in a good fight....Some have won the battle so far......So for me I can't be with each and everyone that has this to go through but if I can give a little smile when they look at their scarf or hat and know I am right there with them sending LOVE and lots of good thoughts and prayers with them...That is what I am doing......


SO to all who would like to join me in this ...you are welcome to join me........whether it be by donating yarn or ready made scarves or hats or even blankets....You may bring them to The Little Red HEN or even Rooster Creek located in Old Town TEmecula, Ca 42030 Main St.......Just say it is for Cricket and they will get it to me.......I will also have my Grandmother's Special Basket that she left me.....She had cancer in her voicebox....Anywhoooo it will be in the store to fill with hats and scarves...I have a couple in there to the start the pile.....

Now my goal is 300 hats ....300 scarves and 200 blankets..

well at this date I have 270 left each to do and 200 blankets to finish...

That is my personal goal....we can make a group goal...

I have started to teach ladies how to use the knitting loom for hats and scarves...

To date I have taught 6 ladies and all I ask is they help in the cause at some point when they can........Now we have some ladies donating yarn on regular basis....So if you come across yarn or clean out your stash send it our way..

Now my dream is to have The Cricket Foundation going at somepoint with a long list of causes we do....This is my first....then on to hospice and the homeless... As our friendship group grows....I have another 4 ladies lined up to teach.......WASU>>>>Thanks to lyssa and Iman that means Women and Sisters united..........Hi to you girl ...she is in Eygpt..Waving at you.....

Now to add to that.......met another lady...Pam...answer to another prayer...Our brave soldiers....I didnt know how to go about that- to get them hats.....Well lo and behold lady walks in and we start talking...she is knitting hats for the soldiers in camo colors of course ....You have to know somebody to know somebody to get them the hats....Well girl....I got the call...I taught her to loom and now working on hats simultaneously for or boys and gals over there doing there brave duty........THANK YOU TO THEM ALL>>>>

So calling for camo yarn too....Red Heart Camo Yarn....Help us make or just bring us the yarn ...whatever you can do.....You all will be blessed in helping us in whatever way you can....Thank You so much.........Another cause dear to my heart....

Go Cricket Go Cricket!!!!

Lets get er done.....LOL
