Doing Charity Work

This is a repost from a couple weeks ago [I just edited it to update links and such. Sorry!]

I love needlework. And when times are rough financially, knitting and crocheting for charity is a great way to contribute to the greater good without going into penury!

But it's hard to remember to do it. I always have some other project going. Well, I've decided to make time for it. I'm setting aside one day every week (Saturday) to work on a charity project rather than my normal project. Not only does this assure that I actually get it done, but it keeps me refreshed and energized about my rest-of-the-week projects and looking forward to working on my alternate project on Saturdays!

This really works for me, and I'd like to encourage others with crafty interests to join me in this commitment. If there is interest in this, I could start a carnival for us to show and tell what we have done. Leave a comment for this post to let me know if you are interested!
