A little update

I realise that i haven't updated here in a very long time. My premmie sewing is going really well, i have currently donated 148 gowns to parents and hospitals around the country. That number is set to rise int he next few days as i have 24 ready to go to a SCN once i put the finishing touches on them.

Here are some recent gifts that have been sent to parents.

Australia Day

I made several gowns for babies who were in hospital for Australia. I figured we are becoming more and more patriotic here in Australia so why not :-)

We're on Facebook

well, ok i am on Facebook. I started my own little group on Facebook, i guess in a way to open myself up to more premmie families and their friends.

Has proved to be a wonderful thing, i am now in the very fortunate position to be able to help many more families and bring a bit of joy to their day.

Stay tuned for lots of projects over the next few weeks. Am starting a very exciting one tonight - very exciting!!!

Back in action

Well the break is over, time to fire up the sewing machine and get started on the first gowns for 2009.

I have lots of new fabrics that are all rather cute and am eager to hit good old spotlight in the coming week to see what *new* stuff they have in now.

So stayed tuned for lots of new gowns and a little change to them as well. Nothing big just a new addition to the gowns that is in the works.

Another Gift

Here is another lot of gowns put together as another gift. A fellow Miracle Babies Mum approached me for some gowns for a friend of hers. So here they are, i think the Christmas spirit is taking hold because the number of gowns is slowly increasing LOL

A gift for Indiana

Little Indy arrived in a hurry at just 28 weeks. I have had a wonderful time with lots of new girly prints, sewing up all these little gowns for Miss Indiana.

Another delivery

Today the hospital held a thank you morning tea for all their volunteer knitters and sewers. It was wonderful to see that there are so many volunteers, donating their time for such a wonderful and precious cause. Although on the other hand it makes me sad to think that there are other hospitals and NICU/SCN's out there who have no volunteers or just a handful.

If only i knew which hospitals truly did need the extra assistance that volunteers bring, the extra happiness that dressing a sick or tiny baby in clothes can bring...i would be only too happy to dedicate time in making some of these little gifts for them as well.

There are the gowns i delivered to the NICU today
