Time to Find Your Orange Yarn
Now that the Hawkeye donation has come and gone, our 6th annual pumpkin donation is fast approaching! We were very short of items for the Hawkeye donation this year. So we need your help to make this one a success!
For the 6th year in a row, TPP is creating a baby pumpkin patch at the UIHC and we need YOUR help to make it happen. We’re talking oodles and oodles of cuteness, people! Simply use orange and green yarn to make pumpkin hats and matching booties. Afterall, what else are you going to use that yarn for?

This donation is a favorite of the nurses and families. The nurses take pictures of the babes in orange and make cards for the families. We’re talking crazy amounts of cuteness! We hope you will consider helping us create our 2010 baby pumpkin patch!
