Oh, Allie, she is perfectly adorable! i hope she is better now and you and Hubby are too. everybody tells you how time flies when you have little ones but you never really understand until it happens, right?

i'm hoping to hear back from some more group members so we can get back in the swing of things. it's been way too long!  Hugs, Dawn

Hi Ladies! SO SORRY I DROPPED THE BALL! A quick update! Lucy will be on one Saturday and I feel like life has just flown by! Since about 3 months of age Lucy seemed to be sick with something just about every week. We even ironically got to spend a few days at the NICU/PICU where we sent our first batch of blankets to!!! They were amazing and of course through all of the mayham I thought of you all while I looked out my window bed not sleeping! I actually have a ton of blankets here still ready to go! I haven't knit since she has come along and maybe late at night it would be a nice relaxing break from everything. Attached are some pictures of our little blessing!

Hi, Boofaloof! and welcome to this group. at this time, we don't have an active project going. do you know of a hospital or other group in your area that is in need of baby blankets? we sort of lost steam after we completed Project Number 3. could be your energy and enthusiasm is the kick in the behind we needed to get us going again :-) 

so....anybody got any ideas for a Project Number 4 recipient? the floor is open for suggestions!  Hugs, Dawn

I just joined the site and this gorup. I am a Knitter and Crocheter and I and thrilled to have something to do with my hands that isn't just for me. DO we have guidelines for the blankets, or do whatever and donate?

Thanks and Hugs to all!
