    Christmas Hug Project. Waiting to confirm this project will run in 2020!

    This is a beautiful new project making cuddly friends to give to Chernobyl children in Belarus. It is run through a charity called Friends of Chernobyl Children who as well as bringing children over, work with families in remote areas in Belarus experiencing extreme poverty in very challenging conditions.

    Waiting to confirm this project will run in 2020!

    Can you help us?

    • We are looking for homemade cuddly friends to go and give huge hugs to children this Christmas time.
    • Knit, crochet, sewn all very welcome indeed.
    • Teddies, rabbits, people, this bit is up to you!
    • Avoid white and very pale colours for practical reasons.
    • Size wise – approx 20 – 30cm, not much bigger please for transportation purposes.
    • We don’t know exactly the ages of the children who will receive them, so please avoid buttons and trimmings that might be dangerous for little ones.  Think safety!
    • These are for boys and girls, neutral is good, but we would love some aimed at each too.
    • Our Christmas Hugs will be given to the children during December/January in time for the Orthodox Christmas

     

    Thank you so much, as always. xxx

    The Blanket for TheDisillusionedAnarchist

    We received Rumer’s blanket on Friday and we just wanted to say thank you so very much. It is beautiful and it made me cry. The rainbows just like her blanket, the elephants after her suits. Incy Wincy spider, the morning town train, the boat and the grey bear including one with his white bow tie, so lovely. We will treasure it. This is a picture of Rumer’s very new brother Sage on Rumer’s blanket.

I can’t express how grateful we are. Becks has been cuddled under it all evening, examining the squares and squealing occasionally, and now I am. Thankyou again you lovely lovely people xxxx. toria and becks”

    The Woolly Hug for RubbishMantra

    I received my woolly hug today. I can’t put into words how much I love it, because words don’t do this beautiful creation justice. It’s not a blanket, it’s a 3 dimensional work of art.

    I’ve looked at every single square, and marvelled at them all.

    I think I may have mentioned that DH used to make a lot of collages. So to have a big, woolly collage made by you all is the best thing ever.

    Thank you also for the lovely cards and sentiments inside them.

    It came early this morning, and I took it up to bed with me and had a little snooze, cuddling it.

    Heartfelt thanks, love Mantra xxxx

    “Thank you so so much,you really do make the world a nicer place to live in, to think you have all volunteered to create a blanket for a complete stranger is amazing,you are all amazing and so thoughtful. My daughter is going to be over the moon when she sees it, and of course each square will tell a story, a different story every night. I really can’t thank you all enough for doing this for us, it means the world. You are all fantastic people with the biggest of hearts. Thank you again. Much love.xxxx”
