Working on hand puppets

I am hoping to start creating easy hand puppet type toys (knitted) pattern to go in each issue of our newsletter. One I got done but see where I need to make it longer is a skunk though it kinda looks like a bear lol, I was making it into a hat for a baby then my son Gabe grabbed it and said mom is this a puppet, he grabbed onto that and wanted to play with, so I finally gave it to him and it got my brain rolling, hum what if we made some for children in hospitals, no sharp ends and they are light weight and can be used laying in bed.

I also a working on more patterns all the time. I created a cute little hat but with hats its hard to make an original someone else hasn't thought of already. However I do have a neat idea for another burial outfit...........

Pure Love

Reach out to others in need!!

OPENING YOUR HEART TO SERVE OTHERS

Giving is pure LOVE

Updating our website

We are working on updating our website, and we are still working on the Neonatal site (Neonatal Division).
Just wanted to let you know http://Heavenlyangelsinneed.com

Are you a giver? Or receiver?

This is a question I want you to ask yourself.

So what is your answer?

I run a Nationwide charity and see people come and go, people with good intentions and people who simply do not care. We also have met people who are just givers who care so much about others in need.

This Christmas is one we are excited about because all can be involved!!

If your a giver you will jump on this.

Only 1 donation not much to ask.You can donate money if its easier. Look on our blog or our website http://Heavenlyangelsinneed.com and donate with a credit card & debit card safely and securly with justgive.org button on either site!

What if that does not appeal to you well do you have a store near you?

You can send a new toy, coat, clothes whatever to Heavenly Angels in Need or ask for the direct area we are donating for this year I can send you the address. (Be sure to wrap your present!! no war toys please, because of where these kids have been.

Who are we serving for Christmas?

We have refugees from Thialand (Burma) families with children who have nothing! Literally.

Thay have never had or heard of Christmas before. Think about it!! Your children with nothing, if that doesn't affect you what will??
I know you will probably have good intentions and even offer to help, but will you follow through?

Will your kids go without this year? Probably not, even our poorest children in the US are far richer then these children. Please watch real video's of some of these families we are covering http://Frontfilms.com

If you think you have nothing to offer please think twice!!

Like I said we can send you the direct address to where to send the items or send them to

My Space "Whats the Big Deal"

So many people are bashing myspace and because the news batrays bad people that may be members of myspace! Does it really mean that all who use it are bad?

Well if you will not join your charity because you are afraid of people like that then you are really mislead. Our charity are proud members of myspace.com. We joined and I promote our charity on myspace. There are so many untouched crafters there who are falling all over themselves to help. Who have never heard of charities like ours! Well HAIN feels like no matter what you beleive if your willing to help us help others then we will reach out to touch you whereever you are. I suppose if Christ only hung around the Holy then who would need to be touched!
Well having that attitude we have not only met some of the most amazing people but have found that 100's of other Orgnizations and minitries are also using myspace as a tool to reach the hurting! Yes hundreds maybe thousands! Ok another way to look at it is "no matter where you go you will find bad people" so does that mean you shouldn't get on the computer! No its how you use the computer as a tool for your purpose! Do I allow my children on myspace, yes with me because you have to really seek out the bad to get the bad. And besides there is a ban option for banning people you do not want.
Myspace is as personal, fun, and good as you make it yourself! You can have a page of all Christian based or whatever your design option you chose to make it! Ok so you have to learn how to copy html codes thats not hard once you learn it!
So really its the fear of the unknown that bothers you! Well Then maybe you should live in fear and not reach out to many who are willing to be a big part of minitries like ours. But we have had way over 60 new members with in a short 3 months time join HAIN! Because HAIN is here to reach out to others in need, we are not to good and above anyone. Were just here to serve!
Here is a few pictures of 1 myspace friend of things she donated!!

Garbage Bag Holder

Materials: Bernat 100% Cotton yarns (or other types you prefer)
Size 8 Circular Knit needles.

CO 70 stitches (If you decide for a long tube instead of the short round then CO less stitches making sure its an even amount) Put a marker or use a different color yarn to seperate the beg row from the end.

Since this is worked in the round you do not need to purl stitches it will be stockenette with just knitting each row.

Knit 2 rows
(eyelet row)then Knit 2 tog, YO, Knit 1. Repeat until end of row.
Then knit all rows until the bag holder is the size you prefer. I made mine about 10 to 14 inches.
Then when the holder is the size I prefer
you Do another eyelet row.
Then knit 2 more rows.
then BO all stitches across.

Make 2 chains (Top chain needs to be longer)(crochet, by hand or whatever way you prefer) weave a chain in the top eyelet row and the bottom. The bottom eyelet row you genetly leave loose so you can pull your bags through it (make tie close to bag)and with the top chain you weave through and lightly tie towards the top of the bag making it where you can hang the bag. So make it where you can tie and untie as needed to hang it where you choose. Weave in ends..

Load the garbage bags in the top (wal-mart bags) If your using this in babies room, kitchen or even the bathroom to use for a washcloth holder its up to you have fun with it!

Hum, Teaching kids!!

I was talking to our kids school Secretary about HAIN and teaching kids in my daughters class knitting and looming. And having a tour of the PICU wards where these kids can see what we do and why and who we help. And she thinks the teacher will love it!
Teaching children to give to others in need and also keeping the knitting tradition going!! Isn't that great???
