~ dly's Baby Blankies ~

After I saw ~Niki's~ post about a pretty little blanket she crocheted for "God's Tiny Angel's", I thought to myself how nice that was.  So I decided to do something too.  I'm going to crochet little blankies (most likely around 24") and give them locally to Prince George's Hospital.  

I have quite a bit of yarn - I always seem to find great deals at the thrift store - and a little bit of time so I'm going to do it.  

I'm going to have little cards made up and attached to each blankie:

I'm getting excited just thinking about it.  Wish me luck.  :)

  3. It is so much fun to do... I made a bunch of baby caps awhile back and donated them to one of the local hospitals and the nurses told me the new moms just loved them. You will so enjoy doing this!

  7. One of these days I'd like to do something similar to this. Recently, my niece "lost" conjoined twins, and the blanket they were given at the hospital is very special to the mommy and daddy. Oh, and itty bitty hats too. She was only about 1/2 way along in her pregnancy, so the babies were so very tiny, but the hospital even had itty bitty hats for them. Somebody out there took the time to make and donate such things, and now I want to be that person. I see how it has touched many lives firsthand.

  9. Debi how wonderful, what a great thing to do. I'll wish you luck but I'm sure you don't need it, when you do from the heart all is well. I think you are inspiring a lot of us to do this as well. Thank you for posting. Looking forward to seeing your blankies.

  13. You are such a thoughtfull person.I think this is a wonderful idea! My newphew ( who just turned 1) was in the NICU for the first month of his life and he received the little caps along with a lovely blanket. It is extremly touching to know that someone cares enough to donate their time and talent for people in need. I don't know about time, but you surely have the talent :) Can't wait to see!

  15. I hadn't realized you were local; I'm in PG County. My crochet group donated hats and booties to the Pregnancy Center in Clinton.
