Grace To Be Born: Hope for Unwed Mothers and Unwanted Babies
 |
Through Brother Bo Sanchez, I came across Grace To Be Born: a refuge for unwed mothers and unwanted babies. Being a single mom, this place and the people behind its cause tugged at my heart. Piquing my interest, I corresponded with Brother Rey Ortega who heads the shelter and found out that they are now supporting 11 mothers and 14 babies. Although they receive donations, they still need a lot such as Bonna milk for newborn babies, Bonnamil milk for babies 6 months and older as well as baby clothes. I promised to help in any way I can to support the mothers and babies there so if you are interested to donate, you can check their Needs List here.
Am planning to visit the shelter by the end of September to deliver baby stuff I gathered so if you want to donate but don't have the time to go there, I can meet up with you at a mutually convenient place to receive your donations. Please e-mail me at millicentmelissa@ymail.com or PM me at http://millicentmelissa.multiply.com/
I'll make sure these are delivered to the shelter care of Brother Rey.

I so love this modern take on crochet! Pictures courtesy of Pure Contemporary.
According to the Pure Contemporary blog:
The Crochet chair, which was designed for the Smart Deco project presented by Droog Design and Barry Friedman Ltd., quickly sold out. The Crochet Lamp is part of the Personal Editions collection. Both from Marcel Wanders. Made from crochet and resin.

Project: Inspired by Lady Gaga
Was blogging about internet trends the other day and with Lady Gagao on top of the list, I visited her official website.I instantly fell in love with her front page image! She was wearing a crochet mask!
Here's another study...

Inspired by the Pop Diva, I started crocheting a new necklace...
 |
| looks too plain... |
 |
| looks ok but still lacks something... |
And another...

| still not as extravagant as the inspiration... |
Will continue experimenting on this. I just have to make a Lady Gaga inspired necklace!
Project: Carmen
Really really, loved this shade of yellow and with this color only one person comes to mind: Mrs. Peña (my boss' wife)! Ma. del Carmen O. de Peña, she is one of the phenomenal women I am privileged to have in my life. At 80 years old, she's still a workaholic, running a Forbes Park home and 2 demanding companies of their family corporation on a daily basis. Mrs. Peña was one of the original ATOM (August Twenty-One Movement) members who rallied in Ayala during the Marcos dictatorship. One of the walls of our Executive Office is a homage to her fighting spirit: it dons shadow boxes of Ninoy Aquino funeral buttons, Cory Aquino 1986 Presidential campaign materials, gas masks used during the EDSA revolution and even Noynoy Aquino campaign paraphernalia!

That's why whenever I thought of yellow, it's Mrs. Peña whom I think about. So here's a project in progress in honor of a tough but sweet lady!
