About

It started a long time ago, with my first child. I lost him/her in the first trimester and it was extremely devastating. It affects me still, and I will NEVER forget!!! But I had another child 2 months prematurely, that same year. The second child’s chances were so slim, that I prayed constantly for his survival, as anyone would. I prayed that I would find some way to show how thankful I was. He was in the NICU for over a month and continued to be monitored nearly two years, until he could walk. The very first time I saw him in the incubator, in the NICU, I saw him wearing a cute little blue beanie. I thought that was the nicest thing, and asked where it came from. I was told it was donated. It touched my heart. Now almost 30 years later he is doing well and I am still grateful.

Now there was a time, not too long ago, that I was in a hospital waiting room for another family member to come out of surgery and I saw a woman working on something. She was looming. She saw me watching her. So she said “Do you want to learn?” So she showed me what she was doing and showed me the different size looms. Once she said “The baby loom…” – It was like a light bulb went off in my head, and I started doing it myself. I never forgot how thankful I felt 30 years ago, and now I am able to pay it back AND forward. I am not doing this for money, this is just my little way.
