There's nothing as stimulating to creativity like seeing what your friends have been making!

Past projects have included scent cloths for newborns at Poudre Valley Hospital, customized sheets, pillowcases, and toiletry bags for homeless women, padded hangers for the CSU Avenir Museum, book caddies for school children, Choose to Reuse bags for the City of Fort Collins, carry bags for the Days for Girls charity, and the prep and construction of walker hanging bags for local senior citizens.
