Crochet Sleeper sack

I recently put out a plea on the Yahoo group for members to help create a crochet sleeper sack that buttons all the way down the front. Chris Miller went right to work on adapting a pattern to fit our needs. I was so excited to receive several of her creations today.  Sherrie Null and I worked today putting together bereavement packages.  I thought I would share with you all a picture of this sweet little pink bunting and the items that will be included with it in the package.  I was especially taken with how feminine the pattern in the skirt is.  The pattern is lacy but not so much so that it would be too see through.  I am hoping that Chris will be able to put her pattern down on paper for us.  Like many crafters, Chris creates as she is working on a project so putting it down on paper is not always an easy task.  There are several others working on this project.  I am anxious to see what they come up with.

I’m a blogger now!  Social Services food donation

This entry is proof that even old dogs can learn new tricks.  Web tzar#2, AKA my son Greg, walked me through how to post on this blog.  This is very exciting.  Not being a regular blogger, I have been craving a way to show fellow TPP volunteers some of what goes on around our house.  I was especially excited today.  Laura received word today from Social Services at UIHC NICU that they had used up most of the food that had been donated earlier this summer.  Because of the generous work of you volunteers, we had funds to be able to go shopping.  The Social Worker identifies mothers and other family members that are facing financial crisis.  One of the ways TPP has been able to help is by providing food packages for these mothers who are caring for their child in the NICU.  This is especially important for the nursing mothers.  So, here are pictures of what we were able to put together thanks to the funds raised at our last bake sale/craft.  We have come a long way in such a short time.  Thanks for all you do.
