It's time to wrap it up! The deadline for the first Mama to Mama project has come and gone (December 10th), and it's time to get these hats and blankets where they belong - with the mamas and babies of Haiti. I'll still be adding to the total in the coming days, so if your package is already in transit, no worries! Otherwise, please hold onto all that crafting energy and passion - there will be plenty more Mama to Mama projects to come very soon in 2009!
If you wanted to do something with this specific project but never got a cap or blanket out, I know that financial contributions to Konbit Sante are always welcome and needed. They've set up some wonderful options for holiday "gifts" as well. See their website for more information.
In the meantime...we're busy counting caps and blankets over here! All I should say right now is - my goodness! Check back here later in the week for a grand total and some news on the project.
I know I've said this before, but the response to this project has been amazing - you are all amazing! Thank you!
Please don't send them out until you receive my package as well :-) It's not that my caps are so terrific or that many, it's that I've been trying so hard not to lose the deadline (if you see my other comments and e-mails, you'll understand why!) Anyway, it's sooo nice that this project had such a great response; can't wait for the next one.

Just saw this post and my package is already on it's way to you through Priority Mail so hopefully it will get there in time.
There is a little something in there for Harper also so be sure not to send it all off. :-)
It was fun to participate. Thanks for putting this together!

My package ended up living in my car for the last few days as I somehow managed to not make it to the post office during regular hours for days at a time. It's so late, but I sent it off today priority mail, so if you haven't already bundled everything else up then I hope my blankets make their way in. I was trying so, so hard to make it by the official deadline. Rare is the day when the baby falls asleep and I actually make it to my sewing room!

I know you're resting and catching up on much needed rest with a new babe in the house, and enjoying the quiet of the holiday aftermath, but this is killing me. *grins* I am soooo curious as to the final count. No pressure.....I'm just curious. Happy New Year

This has been amazing! Sadly I was unable to join in with this, so I'm glad to hear there will be more things coming! This is a wonderful thing you have organized. :)
