One of my very favorite bloggers and huge source of daily inspiration, Soule Mama, has launched a new project combining three of my most favorite topics:
-mamahood
-craft
-and social justice
Mama to Mama is "A website, gathering place and hopefully source of inspiration and action." The first bit of action is for a Maine-based partnership, Konbit Sante. They are assembling safe birthing kits for the women of Haiti (find some statistics on Haitian health care here.) and all you crafty mamas out there can be a part! The request is for handmade, newborn baby caps. Soule Mama has included a simple pattern in this post to help get you started.
I am constantly amazed that it's the relatively small things we do, that ultimately speak volumes. Mother Theresa is quoted as saying, "What I do you cannot do; but what you do, I cannot do. The needs are great, and none of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.”
Deadline for submissions is December 10th, 2008.
