Welcome to Ruby's Heavenly Treasures.

Please look on the side bar for a new idea I have for memorializing our loved ones, they are beautiful flower pictures with your child's name and the meaning of their name.

This is a blog site for parents who have received a hat for their child to come and see the inspiration behind the hats that I make.

It is also intended for other crocheters and knitters in the Markham, Ontario area to donate hats to Sick Kids or find free patterns to give to their local hospitals.

My daughter Ruby was 21 months old when she passed away suddenly to a complication of RSV that resulted in brain death.

She was (and still is) one of the most precious joys in my life.

This blog will always be in construction and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as your child goes through their treatment.

My wish for them is to come home as quickly as possible.If you are here because your child has passed away, my deepest condolances go out to you.
I know what it is like to have lost a child and it's one of the most painful things anyone should never have to go through.

Please feel free to share your comments and pictures of your child in one of my hats.

Please email me at rubys_ht@yahoo.ca

Much love, Denise
(a forever grieving mom just trying to make a difference)

Went To Sick Kids Hospital Today!!!

Daniel and I went down to Sick Kids today and dropped off some hats that I've been working on over the past year. Darcy (the bereavement coordinator and our contact at Sick Kids) wasn't there to get a picture accepting the hats but here are the pictures I took last night.

There were 137 hats made by me this time around. I try to make one every other day and I would love to have some more people to come and crochet with me to give hats to this wonderful hospital.

If you would like to make some hats, donate some hats or yarn, please leave a comment for me and I will get back to you. Even if you don't live near me and still want to get involved let me know and I can let you know how you can help put these beautiful little hats on some precious little children's heads. I am always in need of soft yarn, white cardstock, printer ink and small safety pins (for the cards that go with the hats).
