January Crafting for a Cause

Happy New Year! Our first Crafting for a Cause will be making blankets for a local charity. For more information on who we will crafting for, click here. Any kind of blanket would be great, knit, crochet, sewn, even store-bought if you have no time to craft. Want to include a book too? Even better!

An easy craft anyone can do would be to make a fleece tie blanket. They are super simple and super warm. A full size blanket would require 2.5 yards of two different fleece patterns. A baby blanket would require 1-1.5 yards each of two different patterns. If you have never made one, bring in your supplies and I will show you how!

Please drop off your donations anytime during January. Please call the store at 216-226-4880 with any questions or send an email to craftygoodnesscleveland@yahoo.com.

December Crafting for a Cause

Our last Crafting for a Cause for 2011 will be sewing stockings for the Metro Hospital Maternity Ward. Tis the season for giving! The stockings will be cut and ready to be machine sewn, pick up at the store and return by December 20th. The pattern is very simple and will take only a few minutes to sew. Once all are collected they will be delivered to the hospital. The nurses will take photos of all the babies born during the Christmas week inside the stockings for the Moms, then they will be given the stockings to take home with a special treat just for them. The nurses have been doing this for a few years, and all the Moms love it!

December is a busy month, but please take time to do something nice for someone else. If you can't sew, that's ok! Open the door for someone when you are out shopping, let someone go ahead of you in line, visit an elderly relative/neighbor who may be alone during the holidays. Remember every little bit helps. Happy Holidays!
