Half way there! My Madiba 67!!


In my very first blog dated Sunday 1 September 2013, I mentioned a special project I was working on, 67 hats for Mandela Day.  The general idea is to spend 67 minutes in some sort of service or activity to honour our Madiba. So I decided to make 67 little hats for needy and disadvantaged prem and new born babies as my contribution.

 Since then I have got so caught up with other projects ... I counted the hats the other day, and PANIC STATIONS ... I am only half way there!   So my main focus right now is to finish all the hats so that by 18 July I have got 67 of the cutest Prem and New Born baby beanies to take to a needy natal and neo natal unit in my area.

 These are some of my latest additions; I made three last night while watching tellie, so quick and easy and a chance to use up small balls of yarn!




Here are two teeny hats I have just finished ... I used two patterns from Olga from Lacy Crochet .. they are just the cutest little hats ever!  Thanks Olga ♥ 


Shells Newborn hat in a soft variagated yarn and a swirl pattern in peppermint green

So happy you stopped by ... till next time xxxxxxxxxxxxx
