Craft Hope

June 14, 2009 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 35 Comments

This week I have been most inspired by a new blog I discovered – Craft Hope. According to Jade, the founder,  “Craft Hope is a faith-based, love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those less fortunate. It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world”. Well they certainly make a difference! So far the projects have included: making pillowcase dresses for orphanages in Brazil and Mexico; and making gorgeous handmade dolls for orphanages in Nicaragua. Truly inspirational!!  Crafters from all over the world are getting on board. They will be announcing the next project soon.

I have been working on a few “secret” projects this weekend. More will be revealed soon.

    What a beautiful site “Craft Hope” is! It reminds me of the Operation Christmas Child project that I love to get involved in each year with my kids school…
    I’ll be keen to see what these ‘secret’ projects are too.
