project 8 on hold

Greetings from the land of incredibly grateful, humbled, and appreciative. Words cannot begin to express the gratitude we have for everyone involved in Craft Hope. You blogged about Project 8, you spread the word through your social groups, you rallied others to join in. You stayed up late cutting, sewing and knitting, you got your...

We are having some growing...

We’ve had some really great questions about the towels to be donated to Project 8. The Gulf Coast Oil Spill post has been updated with ‘frequently asked questions’ so you might be able to find some answers there. We’d love to encourage you to repurpose materials if at all possible.

project 8 :: gulf coast oil spill

I have sat transfixed to my computer. Clicking image upon image of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I have watched a video of Jacques Cousteau’s grandson diving in the toxic mess to show us what it’s really like underwater. Being a scuba diver and lover of the ocean I am sick to...
