So I tried my sure-fire way to get myself out of the self pity rut...helping someone else. I have so much stuff to get rid of around here and the thought of trying to sell it was exhausting! So I put up our huge lot of rescue heros and my gigantic stash of fabric (that i do not have time to use) up on craigslist for free. No need to post pictures when you're giving it away.
Holy cow have I gotten responses!! I have even changed the titles to "gone" and people are still emailing me asking me to let them know if the pickup falls through.
My fabric stash, scraps and patterns are going to a church who has quilting groups that make blankets to donate to the hospital and to mexico. This thrilled me because I had been wanting to make blankets, bibs, etc. to donate and don't have time. Now I can help someone else do it!
The rescue heros are going to a mom without much money for her little boy. If she dosen't come for them ( haven't heard back yet) they will go to either a little boy in foster care or a volunteer fire department to have for the kids to play with who come to visit. I am so thankful these things that were weighing me down can be a blessing to someone else!

I think you look lovely and you have a nice looking family. What size are you and I might have something that would work for you. I've been trying to earn extra money on ebay because I am layed off work, but I seem to be paying more in fees than what I've made. If I have something that might work for you, you are welcome to it. Also, I shop the thrift store often. If you like, I could meet you up there sometime if that would make you feel better. I know you don't know me, but I'm just a simple country girl (I live in Oxford). I love how you are helping others like with the fabric and stuff. Get back w/ me if you like.
