Motherhood is the reason I got into crochet. I grew up watching my Grammy and my dad take part in this lovely craft. Creating things for people to cherish for years to come. For that reason is why I picked up crochet. I wanted to be able to create things for my children and others around me because giving gifts and taking care of people is one of my love languages.
Motherhood is messy, it’s ugly, and often times women jump head first and lose themselves in it (not a bad thing). When we get pregnant we get told there will be a village for us. That people along the way that will help us no matter what. But a lot of times this village isn’t there for everyone.
For the past year I’ve had something weighing on my heart, I wanted to find a way to give back to those around me, to the community around me. I’ve finally figured out how I wanted to do this.
And that’s how operation build a village was born in my mind at like 2am. The idea is every month I will make baby loveys (the ones without animal heads at this moment). But perfect little security blankets babies can latch onto.
I want to be able to help moms have heirloom items for their babies and in the process build a village that we can lean on one another even if we’re hours away.
Love this idea, but know no one that’s expecting? Have kiddos who are too old for a lovey but want to help in some way? You can sponsor someone to cover the costs for them/cover supplies!
