Can y’all believe that it is December already?!
Well, during this holiday season, we want to send each of y’all a BIG Lamb’s Loom hug of thanks! We truly thank the Lord for each and everyone who continues to come alongside and contribute to this mission to love and encourage others with handmade “huggable” items and help us to continue to spread the gift of giving!
The Lamb’s Loom’s Donation Chest has overflowed weekly this year and we are so very grateful! This gift of giving shines not only at Christmas time, but all year as everyone adds to the chest. As we sort through everything and get ready to send things off, we love to see all the lovely items that have been gifted. And tho’ our distribution of items goes on all year, during the holidays it’s extra special! We will announce the full amount of items gifted in 2022 during Yarn Tasting 2023!
Some of the mission groups we serve have special requests because of who they serve. At Christmas last year, for Tim’s Coats, we provided over 700 hats! During the year, Pregnancy Centers request baby booties and layettes. Those who serve the homeless need blankets and scarves to help fend off the chill every night. The Prayer Shawls everyone makes come in beautiful patterns. What makes a shawl a “prayer shawl” is their size and comfort. When we sort out for the mission groups that request Prayer Shawls, there’s a certain thing we are looking for in them. You can feel that hug in the size of the shawl and gentle fiber that was used, and that’s the one! The Lamb’s Loom Prayer Shawls sent around the world are delivering hugs and praying for the world, one stitch at a time!
So, as gifts are exchanged this year with family and friends we want to say thank you! Thank you to each and everyone who gives so generously to keep things going around here! It is such a blessing to stitch and serve with you all! Merry Christmas!
