MICRO PREEMIE BURIAL OUTFIT

PATTERN FOR THE HAT AND GOWN CAN BE FOUND HERE. THE BOOTIES CAN BE FOUND HERE. ALL THREE WERE PRETTY EASY TO DO. I STILL NEED TO PUT A LINING IN THE GOWN. I KNOW THE BOOTIES LOOK BIG. AS FAR AS I KNOW THEY ARE TO HARD TO PUT ON THE BABIES IF THEY'RE SMALLER THAN TWO INCHES. SO TWO INCHES IT IS. I FORGOT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE BRACELET THAT GOES WITH THE OUTFIT. OH WELL.

BABY QUILTS

I FOUND THIS MATERIAL AT THE SALVATION ARMY STORE FOR A DOLLAR. IT MADE FOUR QUILT TOPS. I BOUGHT THREE BOXES OF MATERIAL FOR 10.00 A LONG TIME AGO. I USED SOME OF IT FOR THE BACK. I DID HAVE TO BUY THE BATTING FOR THE MIDDLE. FOR ABOUT 2.00 A QUILT I MADE FOUR QUILTS. NOT SURE WHERE THEY WILL GO.

LAPGHAN BABY BLANKET ?

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS IS GOING YET. IT'S A LOT OF GRANNY SQUARES MADE OUT OF LEFT OVER YARN AND RESCUED YARN. IT COULD BE A LAPGHAN OR A BIG BABY BLANKET. WE'LL SEE.

PREEMIE BRACLETS

THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A VERY GOOD PICTURE. I TOOK ABOUT A DOZEN. THEY ALL LOOK THIS WAY. I THINK ITS THE BEADS. I'LL BE SENDING THESE TO EMMAZING GRACE FOUNDATION THIS WEEK. I MADE TWO OF EACH SO THE PARENTS CAN HAVE ONE TO REMEMBER THEIR BABY BY. THIS IS SOMETHING I CAN DO WHEN MY HANDS HURT FROM CROCHETING. YOU CAN'T TELL IT BUT THESE ARE VERY PRETTY. I THINK I HAVE A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MAKE THEM TO. IT WARMS MY HEART TO KNOW THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO GIVE TO HELP OTHERS.

COURTNEY'S PINK PILLOW

THIS IS A GRANNY SQUARE PILLOW I MADE FOR MY FRIENDS DAUGHTER. SHE JUST HAD A BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN COURTNEY. SHE GOT NEW THINGS FOR HER BEDROOM. PINK AND GREEN,STRIPES AND CIRCLES.

#1 & 2

THIS IS SOME YARN THAT MY SISTER-IN-LAW PATSY RESCUED FOR ME. SHE GOT IT DURING THE LONG YARD SALE THAT IS HELD EVERY YEAR. IT TOOK ME THREE DAYS TO GET THESE THREE PICTURES POSTED BUT I FINALLY DID IT. IN ONE WEEK I HAD 3 PEOPLE GIVE ME THINGS TOWARDS MY CHARITY WORK. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

WHEN I WENT TO THE POST OFFICE THIS WEEK TO MAIL MY DONATION TO E.G.F. THE CASHIER GAVE ME THESE TWO BOXES. I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT IT. IT REALLY MADE MY DAY. SHE SAID SOMEONE HAD GAVE THEM TO THE POST OFFICE. THEY DON'T SELL THIS SIZE SO THEY CAN'T SELL THEM. LUCKY ME. I DIDN'T HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER BOX. THANKS PEGGY.

# 3

THIS IS SOME MATERIAL MY SISTER-IN-LAW VICKIE FOUND ON SALE. I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE LITTLE BAGS TO PUT A LOCK OF BABY HAIR IN FOR MEMORY BOXES. I'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND TRY TO UPLOAD THE OTHER TWO PICTURES LATER. STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THAT.

E.G.F.DRIVE

I PUT THESE THINGS IN THE MAIL TODAY. THE PICTURE LOOKS BAD HERE. SORRY. I DIDN'T REALISE IT WHEN I TOOK IT.

EGF DRIVE

HERE ARE TWO MEMORY BOXES FOR THE EMMAZING GRACE FOUNDATION DRIVE. THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT MAKING THEM.

I BOUGHT A CARDBOARD BOX AT WAL-MART IN THE CRAFT DEPARTMENT, MOD PODGE, PAINT AND BABY WRAPPING PAPER. CUT PAPER TO FIT BOX. PAINT THE BOX. I ONLY PAINTED AROUND THE EDGES OF THE BOX THAT WOULD SHOW IF THE PAPER DIDN'T COVER IT ALL. THAT SAVES PAINT AND TIME. WHEN PAINT IS DRY PAINT MOD PODGE OVER PAINT THEN SLOWLY PUT PAPER ON IT A LITTLE AT A TIME. I DON'T PRESS DOWN HARD UNTIL I SEE IF ITS GOING STRAIGHT. AND I LET IT DRY JUST A FEW SECONDS SO IT WON'T BE SO WET BEFORE I TRY TO PUT THE PAPER ON. THE PAPER SEEMS TO DO BETTER. I ALSO PUT THE MODGE PODGE ON ONE SIDE AT A TIME. WHEN YOU PUT THE PAPER EVERYWHERE YOU WANT IT PAINT THE WHOLE BOX WITH MOD PODGE. PAINTED AREAS AS WELL. THIS SEALS EVERYTHING AND MAKES IT SHINE. LEAVE LID OFF FOR A FEW DAYS. IT WILL NEED TO DRY REALLY GOOD FIRST.

YOU CAN JUST PAINT THE BOXES OR DECORATE THEM WITH SCRAP BOOKING ITEMS. THE SKIES THE LIMIT ON WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THEM. I KNOW THAT HOSPITALS LOVE TO GET THEM. HAVE FUN.
