Haha....I'm not talented enough to sew a button! Haha. But I know someone who MAY have the yarn/fleece and perhaps some down time to make a few scarves. I'll get back to you on that. How would I get them to you? You can DM me on Twitter @joolzcd (I followed you) with an email address if you like. How did your friend meet the homeless they became friends with? I like to experiment in the kitchen and sometimes think "I wish I could give this food to someone in need". I made a small casserole recently and it took me 6 days to eat it. Anyway, I love what you're doing and wish I had some extra coats, sleeping bags, or anything I could contribute.joolzcdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317914837768182241.post-69274270793495824482010-11-19T20:56:03.279-08:002010-11-19T20:56:03.279-08:00Ellen, you really are awesome!

I can't thank you enough for your time and effort that you are putting into this project, not to mention your willingness to spend so much of your time to help out people that you have never even met. The people that you are making these scarves for truly appreciate knowing that there are people that genuinely care about their comfort. The last time I took a sleeping bag to one guy, 72 year old Jimmy, he and his campmates started crying because they had lost faith in peoples compassion and just the simple gesture of showing him that one person cared enough to bring him a sleeping bag was enough to bring tears to all of their eyes.<br /><br />Thank you, and please thank your friends that are helping you with this project! It means so much to our friends that don't have a warm place to call home.Andrew Phinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486451504410914404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317914837768182241.post-66753768701582789392010-11-19T16:00:41.536-08:002010-11-19T16:00:41.536-08:00It is time People paid attention to the american h...It is time People paid attention to the american homeless.

My dad also grows his own veggies, there are no foodbanks in the areas he lives in, but my mom lives in Amsterdam and we used to prepare lots of yummie foods together and give it to the kids strolling down the streets without getting any food from their parents. It's only a small gesture but it makes a kid happy and healthier as well.<br /><br />I love your blog E! Am a proud follower.<br /><br />XOXO Janet.Janetski.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08066071571000936508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5317914837768182241.post-61376933791474521512010-03-16T14:21:01.077-07:002010-03-16T14:21:01.077-07:00I love, love, love this blog.

No shedding and no allergies for those that are allergic.
