Three Rivers is donating many items, both for the silent auction and for sale.   If you are interested in helping out, please bring your items to a 3RC meeting by January 31 and give them to Doug.   He has kindly agreed to collect and deliver the items.

So what are the folks in 3RC making for the Have A Heart fundraiser?  All sorts of things.

 Carol and Doug are making leashes.  Carol is using a homemade loom, made from an old medicine bottle, nails and duct tape.  Doug is using something a bit fancier, a wooden lucet.  Both methods produce very spiffy leashes.

Rebecca has made a cat blanket, which can be used to keep cat hair off the furniture, warm up a crate, or just give a comfy place for a cat to lounge.

Oriana is making funny 'cat butt' coasters. She is also making a cat's eyes blanket.

Diane is crocheting a warm bed, perfect for either a cat or a small dog.

Constance made these for our "Winter Walkies" basket:  a reflective doggie sweater and treats for the dog's human, a coffee cup holder and chocolate bars.

This was an amazing donation.  Denise K. is not a regular member of 3RC, but she saw Diane's email about our collecting donations for the fundraiser.  She suddenly appeared, with two doggie beds she had made and a bag full of toys and treats for dogs and cats.  Very, very generous of her and very much appreciated!

Bertha made this adorable little shrug, for the fashionable dog.

 Amy's project reused and recycled old tshirts.  She made strips out of the old tshirts and crocheted them into a pet mat.  She also donated a cat collar.

This is one of several pet mats Nicole has made for the fundraiser.  She has lots of yarn she sets aside to use on charitable projects and she enthusiastically puts her talents to good use benefiting others.

 

SciFi Chris made a doggie shaped treat jar.

If you are interested in donating an item, just drop it off at the weekly 3RC meeting, Saturday 2pm to 5pm, Panera Bread near Magee Hospital.  Doug will be collecting them until January 31st.
