Pillowcases as comfort

About Sandy Hook Elementary Pillow Case Drive

HI everyone, The Quilters Corner in New Milford CT has started a pillow case drive for the children of Sandy Hook elementary school.
I saw this on my google feed this morning and have decided that this is at least something I can do. I may donate the pillowcases I make to a local charity, but at least I can sew a little and pray a lot for victims of violence, for policymakers, for those who stand ready to help.
I believe the goal is to get 600 pillowcases done so the children can receive them after Christmas break. I know it is a small thing to do....but a pillow is always a great comfort and to be able to give these children a little extra peace at night would be a wonderful thing.

This is the mailing address for the Quilter's Corner:
312 Danbury Rd. ( Rt. 7), New Milford, CT 06776
Please feel free to pass this along, let's get these done for Sandy Hook

Whose Woods These Are I Think I Know

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Morning

I so appreciate the little park next door to me. This morning we had a beautiful snowfall to entice me out for a walk. I enjoyed the crisp air, the babbling creek, the beautiful trees, and the poem running through my head.

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

 

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

 

 

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.  

 

 

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.
