I was sent some pictures from Moscow, ID the other day. (No, not Russia!) They are pictures of a project completed by a women’s group who got together to make these sweet little animals for a nearby children’s hospital.
Awwww, what a fabulous group of talented women. With a great eye for color!
They used this tutorial and my heart couldn’t feel happier. These women used my simple idea but took it much further and created a whole collection of darling elephants and giraffe’s to share with sweet little children who are sick or mending in the hospital. I love their purpose…..and love all of those happy colors. And I can’t help but think of the smile they will bring to many small children.
Just look at the whole pile of them…..waiting to cheer up a new friend.
They even made them multi-colored by using different colors on both sides. So perfect.
Anyway, just wanted to share what others are making.
And thanks to you women who got together to use your sewing skills for the little ones in your area.
I’m sure you will be putting many smiles on those sweet faces.
(And thanks……..makes me want to find a children’s hospital around here in GA.)
Bonne idée surtout pour faire plaisir aux enfants.
Bonne journée.

What a wonderful way to enjoy crafting by giving to others! Thanks for sharing that story. We need more of them. :)
That was my ward! Unfortunately, I was unable to go that night to help out, but I am so proud of the girls in my ward! They turned out awesome!
Up until years ago my in laws lived in Moscow Idaho for 34 years~ Imagine my surprise to see your title containing this small little heard of town! SO much fun!
Those animals are darling! I made the giraffe for my little baby girl and it is her favorite toy. How wonderful that they made them to donate! Thank you for the great idea!
That is amazing! My daughter (now 5) was in NICU and received many wonderful gifts while she was there. It really makes us mommy's feel special that our little ones are loved so much by strangers. What kind hearts they have. I am tearing up. Thanks for sharing Ashley.
P.S. I still have the blankets, hats and and toys she received. As well as many sweet notes from them. We even keep in contact with some of the staff. It was truly a great time in our life. Thanks again for helping me remember them!

that's so awesome!
children's healthcare of atlanta. it's a big one and a really nice one. :)
I just moved away from Moscow and laughed a little to myself when you mentioned it. That area has a lot of special women in the wards up there. I miss it there! Thanks for sharing.
Darling. I love it! It makes me want to go out and do something good for someone else.
Those are really cute! I live in Idaho but haven't been to Moscow…Thanks for sharing!

That is awesome. I feel the need to recommend it to our youth here in our area!
Awwww, Moscow! That's about 15 minutes from where we used to live (in Pullman, WA) and a great place! How cool! And the animals are darling!
Que bellos, como no estar feliz, cuando alguien hace magia con un tutorial y le pone su impronta para dar alegria a otros. Gracias por compartir
these are beautiful! & what a beautiful reason to craft indeed!
I don't think I realized you were from GA too! Can I ask where and you just respond in email? :) I know how many weirdos there are….
Anyway, what a great bunch of ladies! That is just awesome. Here's there is Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Scottish Rite but you could probably contact your regional hospital. They'll have a NICU ward too. I'm sure any gifts for babies would be much appreciated.
I LOVED reading your post today – I live in Moscow and am about to leave after a great 10 years…it really is a special place and I know we will miss it.
And that was such a neat idea for those women to do – the animals turned out super cute.
This was my ward and I was at this activity! Thank you so very much for letting us use your pattern. I'm certain these little animals will go to a well deserving home. :)
