I had started this post awhile ago, but I was having trouble uploading pictures. a group of friends and I participated in Craft Hope's project for Kobit Sante. Konbit Sante is a health organization that provides healthcare to people in Haiti. One of their focuses is on maternal health. In order to make sure that woman are able to give childbirth is some sort of sanitary condition, they train people to be birth assistants - midwives of sorts. They provide the trained birth assistants with a bag. The bag has plastic sheeting, a razor, soap, hand sanitizer, gloves and string. It's amazing to think that just those things can greatly improve the outcome of labor and delivery.

Craft Hope came onboard with a project for us to make the bags, fill them with the supplies and then add a baby blanket and a lovie.

We made 23 bags. It was a lot of sewing!

Craft Hope collected 2,510 birthing kits! There were so many, that Konbit Sante was able to share with another health organization that works on another part of Haiti.

Hospital Outfit

Because my girls were going to share a room, there wasn't much nesting going on in the way of preparing a nursery. So, instead, I taught myself to crochet and made this hospital outfit for our little one.

Crafty Christmas Pt. 2

Phew! I have lost count on how many things I have made, but I have made it to my first deadline. Wrapping and shipping happens tomorrow. I did have to cut a few things from my original list, but I figured I would have too. They were more along the lines of being bonus gifts.

Little chocolate pops to put on top of gifts. To be fair, I made the little snowman and the others were made by friends. I did make 6 snowmen though.

Hackey sacks for Luke. Just one more to make and then they can be juggling balls as well.

3 sets of the fishing game for Max, Greyson, and my secret santa. Each kiddo will get one pole and twelve fish.

Messy Masterpiece for my mom, painted by Ella. The intent is for it to be a family tree, and I will also give them an archival pen to write in names and birthdates. Or they can leave it as is. :)
