Hello everyone. It is Christmas Eve and all is quiet here. We have no small children in the house so it really is quiet. We are also awaiting an inch or two of snow. I have been working hard making ruffle scarves while my daughter sells them. All the money has gone to buying more supplies for the preemies. I have also just sent another box of blankets and hats out. This one went to Kentucky. The packages are really getting around. I do hope to continue this project next year. Just remember if you want to help with postage or supplies, just hit the donation button.
For all the repeat viewers, thank you for coming back. I am glad that this site is helping so many others pursue the same path that I am taking. It helps so many. I saw a picture of a tiny preemie that had passed, he had a hat on that was too big, and a crocheted square that had slits in it for his little arms. After seeing this I continue to make smaller hats because there is a need for them and tiny garments. So give a hand and make others happy. In the mean time
Merry Christmas!!!!!
Have a good one.....Nan...

Busy
I have really been busy cutting and sewing all the fleece I bought for the babies. My husband's office looks like the fleece factory but he doesn't mind. I am also making ruffle scarves to sell. The profits go towards the fleece. Plus I am making hats and things in between. No there isn't 24 hours to a day, there are more.
I have been working on a new pattern for a gown. Will post when it is all done.
Thank you to those who have given me donations. I do use it to buy more supplies. Lots of ladies have asked for hats for "Memory Boxes" and I have been sending hats and small blankets for the boxes. They are for the Moms who have babies born too soon or born sleeping as they say. I still provide things for NICU'S. The latest to get a box was St Josephs in Arizona.
Just wanted to update everyone. I do have a site on Facebook too. www.crochet Preemie Hats
if anyone is interested.
