Birthing Kits for Craft Hope (A Blog A Day #2)

A couple weeks after making the Cassie Barden totes, the same group of friends got together to put our newfound skills to work for a good cause. 

From Crafthope.com: Craft Hope is a love inspired project designed to share handmade crafts with those who need them.  It is our hope to combine our love for crafting and desire to help others into a project to make a difference around the world.

C emailed us all to invite us to participate in Craft Hope Project 11 - Birthing Kits for Konbit Sante.  You can read more about the project at the link - but basically we were making delivery kits for trained birth attendants in Haiti, helping to make the child delivery process a healthier and cleaner time for the mother, baby and all involved.  Craft Hope provided a list of items needed, all inside a gallon Ziploc bag, plus we needed to make a small stuffed animal, a receiving blanket, and a small tote to put everything into.

We made 6 kits one weekend, then got together again a few weeks later and made 6 more.  C shipped off our dozen kits, and we had so much fun donating our time and craftiness for such a great cause!
