I have wanted to do this site for quite some time. As John Lennon said "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans".
I am a mom to two amazing miracles anyone could ever have the honor of being blessed with. Both of my children have special needs; but it never stops us all from living life to the fullest.
I've been in and out of the hospital all my life. At first it was because of my health. After my children were born...I am sad to say the hospital remained a part of our lives.
When you've been in and out of children's hospitals; there is so much you take home with you. We have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty amazing people through some really difficult times.
I want so much to give back to some of the places that have given so much to us. Here is where I need your help...
I am looking for people who crochet, knit, or sew. I want to create a place where people can share their talents to make scary situations better for children. I remember how great it felt to receive our first handmade gift. We were in the NICU with our daughter and the nurse brought us the cutest outfit. It didn't fit until our daughter was about 1 1/2; but it made a horrible day seem brighter. I remember the smile on one mother's face the day we were able to go home; and she still had about a month left living the NICU life. I made her daughter just a simple pink blanket; and it was like I had handed her gold.
This is also a place to Craft with a purpose. For things I actually sell (bows, blankets, Etc.) I will donate money to a charity that we are either a part of or that has touched us in some way.
It's ALL about the feeling you can give people when you hand them something handmade with your heart.
