Itty Bitty Recieving Blankets

A lady at my parents church had a baby pass away in 2009 because of having to be born too soon because she wasnt developing right. The lady was prepared and brought a blanket to wrap the baby in because she knew she wouldnt be surviving :(. She then heard lots of moms dont know half the time when they end up having babies too early and all they have to wrap the babies in are the hospital recieving blankets. I think the number was 250 babies dont make it in Edmonton a year :( So she decided to make small recieving blankets(18x18) and give them to the hospital so moms can have something nice to wrap their baby in and also have a blanket to take home as a keepsake if they wanted. So the church has joined in helping her make some of these blankets. My mom and I took some and are starting to sew them together.

Lucas' Birthday Party Decorations!

Lucas had his birthday party(s) this weekend. We had a friends party on the 16th and then a family lunch on the 17th! I decided to make all his decorations this year. It was very fun. His cake didnt turn out how i wanted(color wise, some of my icing colors were hard :( )








I am going to put most of the decorations in his room once i take them down(except for the ones that say happy birthday lucas)... Wonder what i can make for decorations for Alexis' 2nd birthday?! Guess Ill hafta see what she's into by then!
