As many of you know, Blankets for Babies is a wonderful group that makes blankets for shelter furbabies with no home of their own. There are so many things we can do to help them fulfill that mission of bringing some tangible love to dogs and cats waiting for homes.
One thing Missy didn’t mention is that Blankets for Babies also has a CafePress site.
Thanks Missy for barking this into the Dog Blog Barkout Group.
There is more of a demand for blankets then there is people making them. And don’t be scared when I say make blankets. If you don’t have a sewing machine, or much time to do them. You can always do TIE BLANKETS, they are so easy. I do them while I am relaxing at night watching TV.
Go to the group for blanket examples, we are always looking for more members as well:
Link to Dogster group pageAnd if you cant do either, (which everyone can do tie blankets they are that easy). You can help raise money for supplies for the other members to make them, and shipping.
