This is my lady.

Krochet Kids
provides jobs so that women can meet the needs of their families.
educates women in various handowork and other skills so they can develop beyond the need for outside aid.
provides mentorship to help each lady plan a unique and sustainable career path for the future.

Could it be that KK is truly supporting women in rewriting their own stories? i really hope so.

Last week i put together this little toy for Harvey. It's just many different lengths of ribbon in various colours of velvet & silk satin tied onto a maple ring. Of course he loves when we hold it in front the fan and the ribbons dance around him.

ThankYou to Dorothy who made him.

In my ribbon tins I found the right ribbon for the crocheted set: a fine cotton-wool twill tape in dove grey that I bought in 2006 at Mokuba, Toronto.
