I've been meaning for a long time to crochet hats and donate them to organizations that give them to people with cancer. You've inspired me to get out the crochet hooks and yarn and get started!

I haven't got much further .. but when I was with the bed-ridden lady I continue to visit ... I phoned the elderly chap who also visits (his wife died up at the Home) to check on his replaced knee .... and could then relay the information to Linda, as she relies on face to face conversation ... due to her illness. I also took some flowers up to her .. <br /><br />But your thoughts are just great ... cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-50723086497872135202014-02-07T20:58:36.415-05:002014-02-07T20:58:36.415-05:00I think you make lovely things Amy!!I

I haven't had much chance for random kindness this week, but I did do a couple of things.<br /><br />I had to work all day with a colleague whose company I do not enjoy and instead of being grumpy about it, I laughed and tried to take it in good humour, and you know what, the day went much better than expected and although I can't say that I will be rushing to repeat it, I did not dislike it as much as I feared. Not exactly a random act of kindness, but one of politeness! <br /><br />I also somehow found myself giving crochet lessons to two people this week - me, crochet lessons!!! - I was happy to do it, and it was fun, but hard work trying to crochet and talk and think at the same time!<br /><br />Next week I will do better. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-70219507007360367032014-02-07T18:20:18.539-05:002014-02-07T18:20:18.539-05:00lollolEddie Bluelightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069024660422117718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-47244427833568688152014-02-07T18:17:39.711-05:002014-02-07T18:17:39.711-05:00That is SO good to hear!
