Bev's 2005 Charity Crafting Challenge 
Honoring Joseph Smith on the anniversary of his 200th Birthday
Joseph Smith Born 23 December 1805 - click for more information

Joseph Smith   Joseph
"All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand. -- Joseph Smith
(History of the Church, 5:498)"


The year 2005 marks the bicentenial of the Prophet Joseph Smith's birth, and to honor him on his 200th birthday. I am committing to making 200 items for babies and children.  It was well known that Joseph Smith absolutely LOVED little children and he would stop what he was doing to take time to talk to them and to join in their games.  He would often greet them before even acknowledging the adults at meetings or out in public.  Children felt safe with him and loved by him.  Joseph would try to make them comfortable and there are many journal entries about how he had touched their young lives.

Here are some of the items I am making:

- warm children's hats with my knitting looms and hand knit ones.
- mittens
- teddy bears and dolls to bring needy kids joy! 

I hope many of you will join me in making warm items for little ones in 2005.
I will be donating these  items mainly to LDS Humanitarian, and to other emergency projects as needs arise locally or otherwise.
