Some pictures
Some picture of some of the emergency things I am trying to get to gether to send out today or tomorrow m
orning.
orning.This is the poncho pattern that works up so quickly. And I like it because it can be enlarged so easily. I have about 65 made.
Emergency temps!!
Good morning, All!
I had finished my first one hundred squares last night, and was working on the second hundred. THEN............
I got up this morning, got my coffee, watched the news and saw that the temps coming into the area of the reservation at the begining of the week will be -49 with wind chill, actual temps below zero.
Now, I am in Mobile, Alabama. It's rainy today and about 40-something and I consider THIS weather miserable. I literally can't imagine the frigidity of -49. And I can't bear to think of ANYONE, young, old, healthy or sick, having to deal with those temps without adequate supplies. So I am trying to put together some sort of emergency care package.
It won't be co-hesive, or pretty, but it will be functional. All the ponchos for the kids are going outta here, all hats, sweaters, scarves, blankets, ANYTHING I can find to send, is going today or tomorrow.
Yes, it will be a pain in the butt to drop everything and do this. But folks, we are talking about life-threatening cold. And I know there are a bunch more people than me that know that weather personally.
Anyway. That's my post for today. And my mission. The dollar stores and Wal-mart (even tho I hate Walmart) have all their winter gear on deep savings. If you can send a pair of gloves, a pack of socks, ANYTHING at all, please do.
Our friends are shivering.
