These fourteen care packages were sent to retreatants in the 2023 Siena Sisters Retreat. Included in these care packages were fourteen prayer shawls; fourteen personalized journals; fourteen bookmarks; twelve books and eleven tissue holders. These items are meant to bless the mothers who plan to attend the Siena Sisters Online Pregnancy and Infant Loss Healing Retreat. Gina Peterson, Executive Director of the Catholic Nursing Mothers' League, donated the books used for the retreat. Team Tiny Treasures Members, Kay, knitted several of the prayer shawls, donated the bookmarks, and sewed the tissue holders. Marilyn sewed many of the prayer shawls. I sewed the journal covers, knitted two of the prayer shawls, and lettered the mothers' names.
In January, Kay crocheted and sent thirty-nine tissue holders, twenty-nine bookmarks, eight small blankets, and four prayer shawls. Amazing! The prayer shawls, tissue holders, and bookmarks will be for care packages, and the blankets will complete layettes. Such beautiful work, Kay! So many blessings in this incoming package.
Thank you so much to Team Tiny Treasures Member, Kay Stewart, for these beautiful prayer shawls mini afghans and blankets to fill our care packages and layettes! The colors are so beautiful! Thank you, Kay!
Kay sent these beautiful prayer shawls for our Care Packages. So beautiful and they will surely be so meaningful to the families experiencing loss who may receive them one day. Thank you so, so much, Kay!
To serve a number of local hospitals, we provided 120 layettes to Halos of the St. Croix Valley, a local nonprofit organization that serves families experiencing child loss. These layettes consisted of 120 mini blankets; 120 pairs of stockinette hats (one for the baby, one for the parents); 116 buntings; 16 pairs of bereavement diapers; and 4 angel pockets. Items in these layettes were made in memory of April Rose Aguilar, the Hagen babies, the Rousu babies, Robert Earl Thomson, and all babies gone too soon. Thanks so much to Ann, Carla, Carol, Christelle, Dottie, Kay, Marilyn, Pauline, Rosalind and Sheila for these items.
