Every once in a while, I set aside my time to do some good for the community. Since my talent (Besides being a genius, artist, baker, and athlete) is crocheting, I usually do a project that requires me to donate something handmade. I've done scarves for the special olympics, chemo caps for cancer patients(that i have yet to deliver), armwarmers and legwarmers for homeless women, and I am now doing more things for the homeless women. I have decided to create Headwarmers for them, I do this with a church group called the Prayer Shawl Ministry. My headwarmers have not only done good for women without homes, but they have also done good for me and my business. They are very popular amongst the women, and I am still receiving orders. I made up my own pattern for these Headwarmers, but I have provided a different pattern that I liked much better. But, I did provide the pattern for the flower that I used to embellish my headwarmers.
