I am sorry for not being able to update and post much on here lately. I have several medical things I am trying to take care of and of course they all cost money so I can only do a little at a time and hope its not too late for certain things.  Yesterday I had dental surgery to remove a tooth that has been bad for a long time and I couldn't take the pain any longer! I have also been sick and we are still trying to find causes for sickness.  I am looking forward to getting back to making things soon. I have to be cautious the first couple days so I don't get dry socket but its more crutial due to ears being full of fluid and not draining.  Just taking one day at time and still making crochet stuff as I can do that while sitting and relaxing.  I still need help with sales or donations in order to keep putting out kindness gifts and I am working on hygeine packages to hand out to people that are struggling.  This at least takes the cost for toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, and soap off their list so maybe they can get a few more groceries!

First I want to say I do not like calling them pocket hugs.  I find that what makes this more special to me is that I created the poem to tell you to touch/hold it to let the love fill you.  Think of someone that makes you feel loved and happy.  Think of the things they do or say that brings that smile to your face and warmth in your heart! And it can be a different person at different times because no two days are the same.  

Secondly, my hope is to sell my crafts on here and Tedooo to help support my kindness crusade as well as keep the lights on as I recently became unemployed and I am not eligible for unemployment since my jobs were part time not for profit facilities.  My goal is to help others in any way I can to help them live life a little happier and healthier!  I  appreciate any donations or sales to support my little business.  Just know that anything you can give makes it possible for me to spread a little kindness around and hope someone pays it forward!

These adorable kindness gifts are hand crocheted with a round back and a heart shaped pocket that is open on the top so that the affirmation cards can be inserted.  The cards you see in the picture are what comes standard with these. They may be multiple colors or just white.  There are options for multi-colored hearts done with varigated yarns.  Those are going to be random patterns due to availability of some of the yarns being discontinued.  These make excellent gifts for anyone at anytime to let them know they are loved and not alone.  I love leaving these at restaurants for the server and put the tip in the heart pocket with cards. One card says "Thank you, you are appreciated!" just for this reason but could be used for any service provided. I also like to give them out to nurses in my doctors office or teachers at the schools.  These are so soft, sweet, and loving to give to others! You can purchase these on my main page and get random colors as readily available or you can send me a custom order request and I can work up an invoice for you to pay including shipping.  Once paid in full I can begin making your order and can give you an estimate of time needed to fill your order. Please understand that I am the only one that is actually making any of these items and I have other life responsibilities as well so I will do my best to complete the orders as quickly as possible in the order they are received.

Order requests can be sent to shelmadinedesigns@gmail.com.  Please put affirmation hearts or pocket hearts in the subject line in order for me to know its an order request and get back to you in a timely manner.

Thank you!!!
