I have had some really good days where I am so happy that we have Sienna watching over our family. I never think twice about making a mistake or doing wrong cause I want to be so worthy for her. Her mission for me I feel is to keep her mommy worthy so I can raise her. I do have days where I forget to pray or read my scriptures but I am trying hard to not forget. I have met some amazing people and have made amazing friends through this trial which made me grateful for Sienna for making me closer to some people. I can't express the gratitude I have for my friends and family and even strangers who have reached out for me and my family. I have had days where I am hurting really bad inside and I have had some people send me a text or a message just saying they are thinking about me and hope all is going okay. It brings tears to my eyes knowing that people still care cause sometimes I feel like people think I have been doing great and so they ignore the situation but it makes me feel good that I have so many people still there for me.
So I have left over fabric from the bear that was made out of the blanket they wrapped her up in and I am wanting to make a patch blanket out of it. I need some help and some opinions on what I should do. If you look down a couple posts you can see the pink fabric that I am talking about. I have sewed once in my life that is when I was 12 so I don't remember how to do it. I want anyone's suggestions on what other fabric I should use to do the patch blanket with. I have seen blankets where they have patches of pictures on it too. I was thinking that may be an idea. I am just really dumb when it comes to crafty things and I don't know how to do it so I need anyone's help that knows how. I just want a blanket to cuddle and sleep with when I can't hold Sienna.
Thanks everyone for your sweet comments. Each and everyone mean so much to me and I am sorry I haven't had a chance to go and read some of your blogs and comment but I promise I will cause you all mean so much to me.
Here are some pictures that remind me of Sienna every day and make me appreciate her.

I think a cute quilt out of the leftover fabric is a great idea! I know at Jo-Anns or Micheal's or Roberts or whatever craft store, they usually have some simple quilt making books (like the quilt-in-a-day ones) that are pretty easy to do for a first try. I can't wait to see what you choose and to see the final product!
Hey, I am so glad that you are running with us. I was just telling some of my friends about you and how amazing you are. I can't imagine how hard it must be with all that you are going through. I think it would be so easy to let life just pass you by, and to stay in your room and hide out. But you are so pro-active about your life. and you are so positive in moving forward, and still keeping your sweet baby a part of your life, and using this experience to grow closer to Heavenly Father. I can't imagine how hard the "hard days" must be, but I love to hear the perspective you get from feeling so close to heaven. I love that you are so open and willing to share your experience with everyone, we can all learn something from you. If you ever need anything, you know I'm just a few houses down and I'd love to help in any way. Katie
I love that picture of you and Sienna! A blanket is a great idea. JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby are great places to get fabric. I have a sewing machine and have made a few blankets. Let me know and I can come over and help you. I'll get you started and then let you finish it. I just want you to know that my testimony has grown because of your faith. Thanks for share Sienna with us all.
