I believe that we all have something to give and that it’s even more meaningful when we are allowed to express ourselves creatively.
Our aunties love to knit blankets or crochet booties. Our friends relax by fashioning things out of wood, fabric, or beads. Our kids love to put pen to paper and use up all the glue sticks and glitter just to finish their card design with a flourish.
So what better day than International Charity Day to launch a website intended to inspire and engage people to create handmade things and donate them to nonprofits?
All Kinds Of Crafting For A Cause
I want a build a community of makers from all walks of life and connect them with deserving nonprofits in need. My goal is to help you rediscover great nonprofits in your area, as well as introduce you to additional worthwhile charities that are sure to become new favorites.
In addition, this is not a solely knitting or sewing-focused site.
Because that would leave a WHOLE bunch of creative and giving people wondering how they too can help. There are also many people who feel they don’t have a “crafty” side, but I am a firm believer that everyone is capable of making something that another person will appreciate and enjoy.
So, this site will feature detailed projects for people at all levels using a variety of materials.
Building A Crafty Community
As much as I love crafting on my own, I cannot make the impact I hope to make alone. so I welcome anyone who is willing and able to spread the word about the tutorials I offer and the organizations I feature!
If you’d like to collaborate, please feel free to contact me.
As a result of this site, I hope everyone will see how they can be a “maker” of change. After all, it just takes one small action to have a ripple effect and I want to make waves.
