Orem Community Hospital

A donation of 26 Baby Beanie Hats was made to Orem Community Hospital.

My Co-worker Misty's niece delivered her daughter their on Wednesday. It was so fun to hand Misty the hats yesterday morning at work and then hear how excited everyone was to receive them. I should have some pictures to add to this post later today!

New Year, New Resolution

This year (2013) I have decided to focus on service and making a concerted effort to forget my sorrows and focus on something good...

So, between Christmas and New Year's I started working on infant beanie hats to donate to hospitals... My first donation of 19 little beanies went to Dixie Regional Medical Center on New Year's Day.

The goal I have set is to make 250 baby beanies for charitable donation... Let's see how it goes...

Little Macks Marie...

Alomst a year ago... Kevin and I eloped... Well, we did this on my cousin Rika and her cutie John's wedding day... So, we share a very special day with two very special people... Well, when she and John announced they were having a baby I knew I needed to make them something special...

I began by procrastinating... Then about three weeks ago I began pinning all things crochet on my crochet pinboard on Pinterest. I had some cotton yarn left over from another project and my mother reminded me how to begin a granny square... and well, I began a new addiction and little Macks Marie's baby gift. This project was a labor of love. I have been somewhat consumed with my own issues and working on this project let me focus on someone other than myself. I enjoyed the process and noticed a much happier me... I worked on it whenever I could, during breaks at work, traveling to see Nicholle, Emma, and Micah in California, at home and completed it only hours before the shower. It turned out super cute...and now I have serveral new projects outlines in my head.

Although this little project didn't take my problems away, it did help me focus on something positive in my life: family and new life... making the bumps a little more bearable.
