Craft Gossip Dolly Donation Challenge: Wrap-up and a huge thank you!

Look at all the dollies we collected for Dolly Donations! You guys are FABULOUS!! We collected a total of 29 dollies that will go to children who have no special dolly friend to call their own. The dollies you made with love and attention will snuggle up tight to these children at night, be constant playmates, and a comfort for their tears. Let me say it again – you guys are FABULOUS!!!

These dolly boys and girls will be lovingly packed into a box and mailed to Sarah Hanson of Dolly Donations. This is a bit of a change from the original plan, but rest assured that your dollies will still be going to children who need them.

Free the Kids, the recipient organization of the current dolly drive, has seen such an overwhelming show of generosity that they’ve already received all the dollies they need for the children in their care. They’re closing this dolly drive early, so the dollies you made will be going to the recipient organization of the next dolly drive.

Sarah at Dolly Donations will keep these dollies safe and sound, and will send them on to the next organization who will be giving handmade dollies out to children in need. You can read more at Dolly Donations.

Thank you again for giving of your time, attention, and fabric stash in order to bring smiles to the faces of children you’ve never met. You guys are fabulous, amazing, wonderful, terrific, and every other nice word I can think of.

Christmas is one of those holidays that you just can decorate too much for. There’s no limit to the amount of holiday cheer you can bring into you home! There’s no such thing as too many Christmas decorations. You can bring Christmas décor into any room of the house – including the kitchen! Which is kind of fitting given how many Christmas activities and gifts are made in the kitchen. We’ve rounded up 13 Christmas kitchen accessories you can sew for your home or to give as gifts.

The list includes holiday themed hot pads, potholders ,aprons, and more that you can sew and decorate your kitchen all season long. Most are things you can make in an evening or less. These would also make wonderful hostess gifts for any holiday parties or gatherings you’re attending. Read on for the kitchen sewing ideas!
