Hello. Thankyou to everyone to being so supportive today of my new page. I am overwhelmed by the good energy everyone has given us. I have been making these toys for about a year now and giving them to children at the hospital....when Louis didn't claim them first..😊❤
I began by making Louis, Georgina the giraffe. A little colourful friend made from the leftover scraps of cotton from his blanket. I find it beautiful that a handmade toy was once something very treasured for a child to be given. Often only quickly whipped up once the important things were made....blankets, slippers or clothes......and most times the only time children had toys. So much love!! I find myself drawn to make toys that remind me of toys that would have been made and loved in my grandmother's time.
Georgina is named after my late Grandmother. A woman who loved unconditionally and taught me, a simple life with kindness and empathy for others....is a complete way to live.
Love you most was inspired by Louis.
I would say ..l love you! He would love me more.....but it always ended with him loving me most!
Louis wanted his toys to go to the other children like him.......I knew it was what was going to happen. All we can do is love the most we can.
By the way.....Louis says......." l love you more than most"...doesn't beat him!! I tried......😃 ( don't tell him 😉 ..but it sooo does.....because he would always smile and become my cheeky little boy again.....totally a win!)
