I am so excited. Almost a year ago I started with this idea of making hats and blankets for the Preemies. Then I found out they needed items for those little angels that don't make it. So I started making "gowns" ~ demise gowns, and let's not forget the cuddle sacs. I never thought I would get the requests that I get from others that need these items. I started small with two local hospitals, then it went to another in Philly. I was getting requests from Nurses. I did make some things they asked for. One hospital wants warmer blankets, these are for the warmers that the babies go in as soon as they are born. I have 15 of those sent.
I went shopping for yarn. Must be soft and pretty, oh and certain colors don't look good on the babies. Make some super small hats that fit a large egg. Do you realize how small that is. I do. I can whip up one of those in 10 minutes. So much fun. I wanted to make and donate 1000 hats. I am getting there.
Totals sent so far: Blankets ~ 604,
Hats ~ 423,
Gowns ~ 37
Cuddle Sacs ~ 26
Warmer Blankets ~ 15
I am so proud. If there is anyone out there that has the name of a NICU that needs and will accept items, let me know. Also if anyone wants to help with a donation of funds for postage or supplies, I could use it as I pay for everything myself. Wish I was rich.
So thank all of my followers, it really makes me excited to see how many people look at this blog. I will post a new hat pattern in the next few days. In the mean time, look around and see if there is anything you like.
Have a good one.....Nan..
