Pumpkins

Can you believe that September is more than 1/2 over? Time has been flying by. Regina of Cutting Cafe challenged the design team to create a project using pumpkins from any of these files. I love anything fall related, so the only hard part of this challenge was to decide what file to use as I had so many ideas, but not time to make everything I would like to. I used two files that I have listed below my project.

Hearts for the NICU

It's "Anything Goes" this week for the Cutting Cafe challenge. My granddaughter entered this world 10 weeks early August 27th, weighing 1 lb .5 ou and measuring 13" long.

My daughter-in-law showed me a fabric heart with a poem that she received while there and asked if I could make a few more for her.

I used the heart from the Cutting Cafe's Heart Envelope Shaped Card Template and manipulated one of the hearts to the size I needed. The hearts need to be no smaller than 5.5" and no larger than 8". I decided to not only make some for her, but to make extra and donate them to the NICU unit where my sweet grandaughter is.

Here is the poem that goes with them:

Wear this cloth against your breast.
Near your heart and warm caress.

Place it close to your baby’s face
allowing your presence to fill the space.

Your baby will feel your love is near,
in scent and warmth when you cannot be here.

Allow the milk you so tenderly share,
to be the connection for you
and the one you hold dear
