The Warm Hugs Project has a failure status for this year due to lack of interest, not enough pre-planning, and not enough advertising. Not a single blanket was collected. And while I hate to have to report on a failure, especially a failure of this magnitude, I still want to praise God for putting me through this experience. It showed me a lot of weaknesses that I have in some areas that I need to improve and I can definately grow from this. But, please keep watch and plan for The Warm Hugs Project 2012, beginning in January and going till March!

Changes to Warm Hugs
Since Warm Hugs was created almost a month ago, some changes have been made. First off it is now called "The Warm Hugs Project" instead of just "Warm Hugs."
Second is a change to the donations received. Blankets now can just be new or gently used blankets, gotten from any place you like. Whether you go out to the store and find one or just donate a gently used blanket that just's sitting around your house taking up space, all will be accepted. The change comes from the fact that not too many people seemed interested in making a blanket, and I don't blame them. It's a lot of hard work. Blankets are a big thing that take a lot materials and a lot of time.
Donations are being accepted from now until February 19. So if you are interested in donating a blanket, please email me at avonlea.elena@gmail.com.

~Warm Hugs, Intro~
I promised more on Miri's "Warm Hugs" project - here's the initial post!
So Miri, inspired by Alex and Brett Harris' books "Do Hard Things" and "Start Here" decided to sponsor a blanket drive for local homeless shelters in our area. After doing some research, she found that we have 14 alone in our tiny county. One of them is even a children's shelter. Her project calls for 50 handmade blankets- all knitted, crocheted, knotted, sewn, etc. by volunteers on the Harris' Rebelution forum. Once she gets them all in (deadline being Feb. 6), she plans to pass them out amongst the various shelters. We'll be uploading photos and other such updates as the project progresses. I think it's a pretty awesome and practical idea myself.
What selfless project could you embark on in 2011? Check out those books and the Rebelution link for some inspiration. Be sure and leave us a comment about your project.
