This week I got another idea, like I need any new ones. But this one is something I can do in my spare time, use up excess fabrics and do something good for others. I found some patterns for little teddy bears and made up a few to try them out.
I read that police take stuffed toys to give to kids in crisis and also at shelters. They like small items that the kids can carry easily. I will have to check the local stations and find some shelters, to see what they take and what materials I can use. If anyone has experience with this and knows of places in the New England area, I would love your feedback.
I have collected different ideas, so I will try some to see what works best and easiest to accomplish. Another idea is animal head pillows, something easy to make and something the kids can hold and use as a pillow in the shelters. The original pattern I found for the bears can be found at, Shiny Happy World.
I also finished punching my hearts, now I need to figure out what to do with them. I may make a garland with them.
We got enough snow last week, that I finally got to try out my new cross country skis. Bean loves running around with me, but also wants me to play ball, which is hard to do on skis.
We always get more activity at the feeder, not much to eat in the winter. This White-breasted Nuthatch decided to hang out with me on the porch.
I guess it felt safe with me there, so it took a little nap.
I also got peanuts, the Blue Jays love them and they are gone in minutes.
Today we did some shopping before the mobs took over. We are expected to get snow starting Sunday afternoon, so we are all set when it hits.
I hope everyone is staying safe this weekend, I know a lot of you will be hit with various storms as it comes through.
