A huge thank you goes out to Michaels for allowing Project HOPE Art to bring so much colorful yarn to Haiti last month. A generous gift card allowed this group of 15 orphan girls the chance to make make pom-poms with my favorite Sugar ‘n Cream yarn, scraps of cardboard and scissors. It only took one demonstration before they all jumped in (seriously, even the little 6 and 7 year olds!) and made pom-poms to wear in their hair, around their neck and for their friends. It was a wonderful afternoon and I suspect many of them are still being worn today.
