Enchanted Makeovers' mission is to transform shelters for women and children into heartwarming havens, uplift the human spirit and empower individuals from all walks of life to pursue their dreams. --Mission Statement of Enchanted Makeovers
If you aren't aware of Enchanted Makeovers, the onine group committed to turning homeless shelters for women and children into warm and cozy homes, it's time you learned about them. Click on the link above to see some of the magical makeovers that this group has creatived, turning dingy, drab shelter rooms into cozy havens.
"No woman or child recovering from an abusive situation or sexual assault should have to sleep in bedrooms that reflect their feelings of despair, unworthiness and fear. The makeovers are just as important as the shelters recovery program."
There are various ways you can help Terry and her group. So if you think you would like to get involved, visit the website and read all about it.
This is how I plan to help: Starting Dec. 4, the group will launch a project called "The Doll Adoption Project." She's asking for handmade dolls to give to children in shelters. Just in time for Christmas, you can help make some unfortunate child's holidays a little bit brighter. If you craft or sew, please consider getting involved with this. Even though I have lots of projects that have passed deadline, I plan to make at least one doll for Terry and her group. I hope you'll consider it too.
And, btw, happy Pink Saturday. I know lots of you love the color pink as much as I do. So be sure to visit Beverly to add a big blob of pinkness to your Saturday.
And speaking of pink, some of you commented on the pink needlepoint butterfly pillow that Skipper is lounging against in yesterday's photos. I got that little treasure at my favorite thrift store. I think I paid $2 for it.
Oy my! Skipper is attacking! Gotta goooooooooooooo

What a wonderful project. I don't know about making a doll, but a doll quilt or a pretty pillowcase I can do!
What was Skipper attacking?
My prize magazines arrived in today's mail and I thank you so much! I'll curl up in my favorite chair and enjoy them this very evening.
Yesterday I unearthed a pink plate that belonged to my Grandma and thought of Pink Saturday. Happy Day to you!
Hugs!

Thank you for sharing this very worthy cause with us, Susan. It is such a blessing when we reach out to others.
Happy Pink Saturday. I agree that butterfly pillow is a stunner.

Susan - Our local women's shelter has received quilts from our Guild - and the women keep the quilt when they move on. Or, also for us sewers, with maybe an excess of fabric - - pillowcases. The doll project sounds great too!

Thanks for telling us about the Doll Adoption Project. I will have to make a doll and send it off. That sounds like fun! Happy Belated Pink Saturday!
