Oh Jeanette, they are beautiful, what a lovely idea too x

I have a lovely porcelain & silver dove for Michael that hangs above his portrait all year long even though it was just supposed to be a Christmas decoration - we love it.

I feel greedy entering, given I've entered and won a giveaway of yours before, but these birds are too beautiful to say no.
Ladybirds used to always remind me of Hope. In late 2008, I saw them all the time. Now, not so much.
Makes me sad.
xo

They are adorable Jeanette :)
I have a rose bush called 'Blessings' in memory of my lost babies. It has moved house twice with me and always flourishes ( it is still covered in roses today!) . I feel my babies spirits are alive in it and keep it looking healthy x

How adorable! I love these! Beautiful idea!

Dragonflies and teddy bears are the main things that remind me of my daughter Laken. The day that I was picking out her funeral flowers. everywhere I looked there was a dragonfly and it just kind of became here "thing"

Hi Jeanette, I am in Sydney. Last night we had our annual service of commemoration, consolation and hope. I have been going for 5 years now. My first child William would have been five in July this year. Each year, the group of women who have become pregnant after loss, make the special decorations and at the end of the service we all go and take one for our family trees. It is a beautiful, emotional and sharing time for our local baby loss community. The women made gorgeous paper hearts for all of us this year. The year that I made the decorations, we sewed white felt doves with a pink, purple or silver blanket stitch. Your birds are lovely. I think the lead up to Christmas is a tough time - I am so blessed to be in touch with the community in Sydney. I am also very pleased to be in your blog community. Thank you.

I have a heart symbol that I designed (a large heart with two smaller hearts inside) that is for my sons, William and Ethan. I also have my initial necklace that I wear everyday.

Awww Jeanette! They are beautiful little birdies!

Calypso's thing has always been Whales. But that's probably because we named her Whale Rider :) xoxox

Hi Jeanette, you do beautiful work! I am new to your blog but I a going to take some time to read through your story.

I have several things that remind me of my daughter. Giraffes are probably the biggest reminder - She had a stuffed giraffe sitting above her bed keeping watch over her in the NICU. Every time I see one (or my kids or husband see one,) we are always reminded of Freja.

They are beautiful and I would love to win one in memory of Freddie.

They are so perfect Jeanette! And hour is VERY generous of you! A few days after we had Sophia and Ellie, we had to make their funeral arrangements. That day I kept seeing humming birds, so that is what always makes me think of my sweet girls. xo

I would LOVE to have one of the blue birds.

Elephants always make me think of Drew, but birds to, too.

The day we came home from the hospital after he was stillborn, we were sitting around and having a terrible time and out of nowhere, a bird pooped on my father-in-law. It was such a shock that it actually gave us something to laugh about! From that point on, we've had a lot of weird bird encounters that always make me think they're signs from Drew.

They are beautiful. Birds remind me of my son Chase who we lost in April, so I'd love to win one. This is our first Christmas without him and our tree will have lots of butterflies, which remind us of his angel sister Mikayla, so it would be nice to have a few special ones just for him too.

Jeanette, would you let me enter your giveaway for my friend? Not sure if it's allowed, but I'd like to give her something for her daughter for Christmas. No worries if it's not allowed!

Lovely birds, Jeanette. They turned out beautiful. You are so thoughtful to offer gifts to more than one person. I would be honored to have one for my little Kennedy. Chickadees and butterflies have always reminded me of her.

Of course Cybele, I think of her often. x

They are adorable!

Beautiful! I love your work! I always associate butterflies with my angel, Sydney.

Your little birdies are adorable! And, I'd love for one of them to come live with me :)

My daughter's name is Lily so I guess I always associate the flower with her...

Hi Jeannette! I think of you often but am not on the blogs much....too busy completing writing for clients. I miss the blogs. I love the birds and they are a lovely remembrance of your Florence. To remember our George I have a rosary bracelet that I added the religious medals to for his name saints - St. George of course being the dearest to my heart. And often when I'm thinking of him and look outside I see a Starling Jay. Those make me think of our son who died. Much love to you and yours from way over here.

The birds turned out great Jeanette. I would love to receive one.

Red gerbera daisies are what I most strongly associate with Reid.

They are so beautiful, Jeanette. I love what you say about stitching being a meditation for you. I can't "proper" sew but my cross stitch is like that for me. It's dragonflies for us - we have one etched on Emma's headstone. Because of the book Waterbugs and Dragonflies which someone bought us to read to the children and which I never have because I can't get through it without choking on the tears.

I would be honored to win one of your beautiful doves. I remember the lovely dress you made for Florence. The thing that reminds me of Meredith is pink roses. All roses remind me of her, but especially pink. (((HUGS)))

I always think of daisies when I think of River. It was his birth flower, April. These are just cute! Thank you for participating in this and giving us a chance to win!

Yay, a Jeanette giveaway! Awesome!

Those are beautiful and brought tears to my eyes.
Lambs represent my daughter that was stillborn cause we were given a stuffed animal lamb when I was pregnant with her and now my son sleeps with it every night.

Aww, lovely! So talented! Tigers always remind us of Dylan. Before he was born, my husband painted a tiger on the back of his nursery door, so he's our little tiger.

Florence's bird's are gorgeous. I am so envious of your talent. I have always associated butterflies and cupcakes with Ella. But, lately, I like elephants for her, too. Happy Holidays! xo

so so beautiful. yellow butterflies make me think of peyton usually. as do trees, birds, and sunsets.

Beautiful giveaway. I'm entering because Tess and I each started tapestries last year that we are both contributing to for each others nurseries. It would be amazing to have one of your birds on each tapestry as yet another connection to this amazing community. xo...

Ladybugs are for my angel baby <3 those birds are adorable!

You are so creative, I really appreciate you taking the time to make these.

One thing that always reminds me of my Alexander is his identical twin brother Max(imilian). Not in a way where I think that Max is Alexander (I would never want to do that to either of them) but it gives me a small smile to know what he would have looked like.

Perhaps doves will be the new thing that I identify with Alexander.

I love your beautiful doves you make in honor of your daughter. I associate frogs with my daughter Madeline. Would love a chance to win your beautiful work. Thank you happy holidays!!

I have a friend .. I'm going to post her this link and hope it gets to her in time.
