Total: 55

I had a goal of gathering at least 50 items to send to China with Lillian this year. I am proud to day that I surpassed it thanks to all of you lovely and generous people. The count: 40 hat, a dozen pair of socks and booties, 1 vest and 2 sweaters. Paul and I had lunch with Lillian Z. I had wanted to get a picture of the 3 of us, perhaps another time. She is crazy with a million things to do and then on top of it is getting over a cold and has a 22 hour flight to Beijing tomorrow morining ! She is very grateful for the things we made and thanks all of us. Lillian says that it is not the monetary value, but the gift from the heart and that the children will know that someone cares about them.

Here are some items sent from Barbara and Patricia, who I met through the Dulaan Yahoo Group list. They sent some great hats:



Here is the BJS I made:

A big ol' pile of stuff, such wonderful color and nice nice wool. These items are bound to cheer and warm a bunch of children:
