At Home Busy Hands: Are you knitting or crocheting Easter NICU hats? We will deliver the hats to Children's Hospital St. Louis next week. Please drop hats off or call for a pick up by Tuesday, March 20.  Our next holiday/season themed hat is 4th of July and summer!

Love Packages Recap: Bill and Tina delivered the Christian literature (donations received at the February Sew Night) to Love Packages on March 7. Love Packages were excited to receive over 50 Bibles and other donations.  It is hard to believe that there are Pastors without a Bible. They currently have containers on the way to South Africa, India, Tanzania and Ghana. They shipped over 2,000 tons last year to people that would have no other way of reading God's Word.  Thank you so much for your generous donations. Busy Hands will make this an annual project. Please save Bibles, books, magazines, devotionals, CDs, DVDs, daily devotionals, puppets, Noah's ark, Bible games, nativity sets and biblical puzzles. If you have connections with churches, please spread the word...Lovepackages.org

Thanks to everyone who made Sharing Hearts for our February Challenge! 

We are getting our first set of Sharing Hearts
ready to deliver to Children's Hospital NICU. 

Fabric hearts are given to the parents of newborn infants admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit. The fabric heart is worn against the mom’s or dad’s skin so that the fabric will absorb their scent. The heart is placed with the baby, in the isolette or crib, bonding parent and child with a heartfelt scent of love. 

This is an ongoing Busy Hands 4 All project!  The pattern is on our pattern page. Please keep sewing hearts and bringing them to sew days/nights. Other volunteer opportunities for this project include: donating flannel, prewashing/drying flannel, cutting hearts & printing poems.

Watch this awesome video of a father giving his baby his mother's dirty shirt to comfort him. It is the video that inspired us to find this project.
