(called baby legs
), or if you could donate a few dollars to help the project.On December 13 2010 my family and I are going to visit the children's hospital and give them our gifts. My goal is to donate close to 150 leggings!
*Here are some examples of the adult KNEE high socks that can be donated. They need to be fun/funky/different patterns or solid colors (no boring white please)
*For these socks, I was planning on sewing them myself along with some family members that have offered to help but if you would like to help sew them- please email me and ill send you the instructions and patterns. (I promise, its really easy)
*You can buy these socks at numerous places. I usually get them at target because you can buy 3 for around $6.
*If you will be sending these socks or money donations please have them to me no later than September 1st so I can have enough time to sew them. You can email me for my address.
*Here is what they look like when they are done. I will be making numerous sizes so not just infants can wear them.
*These are the already made-nothing else to do but stick those cute things on a pair of fat, plump, or skinny legs.
*You can buy these at target, walmart, kid to kid, any baby boutique or online at http://www.babylegs.com/. They are more expensive (around $8-$10) a pair but there is no work to be done and they fit for quite a bit longer than the homemade leggings.
Please dont feel obligated to help, this is only if you want to.
This project means a lot to me.
If I only donate 10 pairs- Ill be happy because 10 little legs or arms will be warm and 10 little angels will get to know my angel a bit better.
If you have any questions please email me:

Kendra, i would love the pattern and if i can't make them i would love to buy some or donate some money! Please email me the pattern at shannaford1@juno.com
Thanks!
BTW I think this is an awesome idea!
Kendra I would love to help!! Send me the instructions! sarah@edwardmcbride.com
I think this is an awesome idea. I would love the pattern too. I am a beginner sewer, so if I can't make them then I will just ship them on to you, but I would love to help cut some work out for you if I am able to. You are so sweet for doing this and many children will be blessed by you and Makenzie. SO SWEET!!
P.S. - this is also one of the things I loved about Makenzie. I LOVED her leggings. These pictures of her are too cute. She is so beautiful!!
Kendra,
Your such a great person and what a great way to memoralize your sweet Kenzies one year. I would love to help.
I will email you.

Kendra, I would LOVE to help. I also think this is an awesome idea. My sister had to spend a week at PCMC with her little one and also said those rooms are freezing. So cute!! I'd love the instructions, but I am also a beginner sewer and not very good. I'll help any way I can. summerhooton at gmail dot com.
I would love to help anyway I can! I think this is such a beautiful thing to do! It's such a positive thing to do with your energy!
I go to pcmc at least once a week for work if there is anything I can do on that end, but id also love to help craft! Send more information to
shanna.maretsky@gmail.com
What an awesome idea! If you can send me your address I would love to take part. I don't sew but can certainly send you something! Hugs, Em
I have some kid size leggings that my daughter never wears. I would love to donate them. Where do I send them to? I also just wanted to say, someone posted your blog on facebook back in January. I read your story and haven't been able to get you and your family out of my mind. I have been praying for you. God Bless.

You know I'm in! ;)
What a wonderful idea! You are such a special person, Kendra. I know you will accomplish your goal and probably exceed it. I hope you plan to have 'MRW' embroidered on them :)
I want to donate funds to the project. I'll give you some cashola at your party Saturday. Can't wait to see you! Love ya girl. Thanks for inspiring me.
I was just trying to think of a project for my young women at church, this would be perfect! I would love the pattern, and an address to send them to! Might I add, your daughter is B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L!!
I would love to help out with this! Please send me the pattern and I will go and get some as soon as I can

Kendra, I would love to help. I'm happy to get some and sew them. It's too late, I'll email you tomorrow. Thanks for being so awesome. You're amazing!!!:)
I LOVE this idea, I had been thinking lately that I wanted to help someway, but couldn't think of anything, this is a great idea, it's making me all teary eyed. I just realized I haven't emailed you about the blog books yet! I will do that soon :)
YEA! This idea just warms up my heart! You are inspired!! I will get on board with you and will get some others to join your great project. I'll stop by so you can tell me how to help. :-)
I am in! What a great idea. I don't sew but ill buy some or send ya the money. Thanks for the sweet message on my blog brought me to tears. I'd love 2 be a part of kenzies bday celebration. I am also having on for kael that you are invited to. I will send you the info. You are amazing!
Kendra: I'm IN !
in looking at all the comments, you are really going to have a wonderful gift to leave for other sick babies from your beautiful Mckenzie. We will be in Utah in about three weeks so I will bring my "socks" with me. I would also like the instructions.
See you soon. Love, Aunt Joyce
I would love the instructions as well. Im a friend of Alanas and have been following your story. You and Kenzie are such an inspiration to everyone. What a gift to give and I can't wait to help.jewelsjackson@q.com
I have been checking in on your blog every now and then. Your story has touched me. My heart aches for you that you can't have her to hold right now. Please know that even though I don't know you...I think about you often. My son goes to Primary's every now and then and whenever I am there I can't help but think of you and a couple other moms I've found who have lost their babies. It feels so real...almost like I'm living your nightmare. I'm so sorry.
I would love to help with your project! Would you please email me instructions at heatha_liva at hotmail dot com
Thank you and may God bless you!
Hi Kendra,
I saw this on Robin's facebook and I would love to help. If you want to get me the pattern me and my daughter can make some. I also am going to be holding a boutique in June and would love to ask others to help if you would like we could have a area by the register were people could donate and we can also advertise in advance if they would like to bring socks or baby legs with them. Let me know what you think, my email is heartfeltwallhangings@yahoo.com.
I've made a couple of pairs for my daughter. We really like the baby legs and think they are so cute. Will you send me your pattern so I can compare our patterns? I would want to make them according to Kenzie's standards! :) I'm usually pretty busy but a year might give me time to whip together a couple of pairs. Where would we send them when they are complete? Also, just FYI, I have a friend who makes these and sells them at boutiques. She has found some of the socks at dollar stores. Just an idea. My mom also found some a while back for cheap at Harmons. How random? A grocery store!

Kendra,
Hello, this is Michelle, Andrea's sister and I would love to help. Please send me your address or I can give the socks to Robin to pass on to you. I am so sorry you lost your beautiful daughter, Makenzie. I am glad you have this website.
Kendra...
my name is Amie, we have a friend in common-Tara Mann Oby Bennett. Your story breaks my heart...I am so sorry for your loss. This is such a wonderful way to remember your sweet little angel. I would so LOVE to help-would you please send me the pattern. I have 2 boys and a little girl of my own-this is such an AMAZING thing that you are doing and I pray that we can all go above a beyond your goal. Your Kenzie is so beautiful, what a wonderful wonderful way to keep her spirit going and to keep her touching so many lives! Thanks for involving me:)

LOVE this idea. Brilliant. Count me in.
I want to participate! Can I get your address? My email is benjigur@gmail.com.

I found your blog through Cindy's. I would love the pattern. I've seen a few other patterns but wanted to check out the one you have. maurisafari{at}hotmail{dot}com
will you send me the address you want these sent to? thanks!
leslieallard@hotmail.com
Kendra,
I am so touched by your story and life. I would be honored to help out so please send me the pattern and I will spread the word as well. God Bless you and Ryan.
Patsy Griffith @ nlsbabe@msn.com
Please send me the instructions. I would love to help in anyway I can. I live within 15 minutes of a Childrens Trama Center and Hospital. I could donate at the same time here for them in Wisconsin in Kenzie's name. What a great way to spread her memory. Childrens hospital also has Neonatal ICU as well as a PICU. My email is nanaseeu2@yahoo.com Thank you and God bless you and your family.
Kendra,
I was so touched by your story. I lost a 2yr old 20 years ago from similar physical difficulties, and without the help from a special friend who made a special foam "chair" for him his short life would have been so uncomfortable.....I would love to help make some of these along with some others from my ward here in Australia. Please send the pattern and instructions to karen@accc.net.au....we will make some to send to you and also look at a project for hospitals here in OZ.
Your little angel will sure be smiling at you from beyond the veil.
Karen Boers karen@accc.net.au
Could you just post the directions somewhere or post a link to an acceptable tutorial. I'd like to make some and refer some friends, but I'm sure it'd be easier on you to post it once instead of responding to us all.
Not sure how often you check this and are able to reply, but babylegs is having a sale today if you go through facebook (I think you can find it without going through facebook). It is three leg warmers for $10. It is there boy set, but those boys need them too. Some of them girls could where too. Anyway if you send me your address I would love to ship them too you. I would rather order them directly to you and not ship them twice. I just read the story 2 days ago, but every time I see leg warmers I'll think about your daughter.

I'd love to make a few pair to donate. If you have time, please send the instructions and let me know where to mail the finished product to. I think I missed that somewhere! God Bless you!
