Knitting for Noggins (Or Crochet)
If you mail or bring hats to the hospital, please provide us with an accurate number of hats you are donating by completing a donor form. This helps us keep our hat count accurate (The donor form will be attached to the email separately with each month's newletter)
Use your creativity, but bright and colorful hats are always great! And don't forget that we can use boy colors as well as girl colors.
Our greatest need is for large hats for school-age kids, teens and adults. We ask that hats be approximately the size of an average cantaloupe or larger.
o Infant size – at least 16" in circumference
o Child size – at least 18" in circumference
o Teenager size – at least 21" in circumference
Due to infection control, all needlework items must be made out of new materials (not recycled items). Handmade hats are preferred, and we ask that no logos be on the hats.
We also ask that items be free of any odor or pet hair.
For privacy reasons, please do not attach your name, your group’s name, or personal information to individual needlework donations.
For safety purposes for our kids, please make sure that there are no safety pins and/or straight pins in the needlework donations that you send to us.
You can mail or deliver your hats to Arkansas Children’s Hospital
Arkansas Children’s Hospital
1 Children’s Way
Little Rock, AR 72202-3591
Any items that you make to donate please be sure to take some pictures and send them to me (FreemanCraftsFabrics) on Etsy so I can share it with our team members.
Starts: June 1st
Ends: August 31st

Donations for Relay for Life Featuring nnsideout!
Here is nnsideout who was kind enough to help donate items for Relay for Life!
Please check out her shop here: www.etsy.com/shop/nnsideout
I’m Diane, and my shop name is “nnsideout.” When I was younger, my grandmother taught me how to knit. I would make little blankets for my dolls and stuffed animals. I haven’t actually knit anything since then, but decided to make a special gift, which meant I had to learn to crochet. I learned how to crochet from Teresa online, and have blossomed into this “artist” of sorts. And somehow I ended up here on Etsy with my own shop. As I have only been crocheting for about a year I believe my craft has grown quite a bit, as I have also began making hats, bags, and purses without any patterns at all.
Majoring in biochemistry, there isn’t a lot of room for creativity. Learning how to crochet, helped me release some of that creative energy. I really enjoy creating unique patterns and seeing how the items progress and what they turn into. Now that I have graduated I have a great deal of free time on my hands, and I plan to continue to expand my craft by creating other wearable and usable items for all to enjoy.

Relay for Life
Relay for Life kicked off at 6pm May 13th and there was a great turnout. The booths were to be decorated like different board games.
Our board game was Jumanji! We had three tables full of donations. All the details of the set up can be seen in the pictures.
Unfortunately part way into the night the weather took a turn for the worse so we were forced to pack up and leave early. So instead of staying out until 8am Saturday we were out by 1am. We did manage to raise some money in the time we were there. According to the Cancer Society people they will continue to accept donation for 2011 until August.
So I will be setting up a booth again next weekend May 21st, June 18th, and July 16th in hopes of picking up where we left off last night. So the items that did not sell will still have a chance. In August I'll be able to get a grand total of the funds raised for this year. So while it was sad not to have the event last the full length we are going to continue on. The important thing is the money we make to find a cure for cancer.
There are plenty more picture. To view them please see our facebook page!
