Time for an update and freshen up of our page so firstly to introduce myself, my name is Zoe � I first became interested in crochet back at the end of 2012 following the loss of our first born son Alfie who was stillborn in October 2012. A charity called SANDS supply all bereaved parents with memory boxes to hold those special items such as handprints, locks of hair and blankets kindly donated by
knitters and crocheters. So this is where I began, firstly learning to knit so I could contribute blankets to other grieving parents through SANDS, unfortunately knitting was not my calling and that's when I discovered crochet � I'm self taught through YouTube and learning basic crochet patterns through the Internet and that's where Alfie's Little Treasures was born. I began making many things from hats to blankets to toys and even items of clothing for animals. I started taking orders and made my mind up that 20% of all my sales would go to charities helping tackle baby loss and those it has affected so around Alfie's birthday each year I split the money between 4 chosen charities (SANDS, Kicks Count, Mylo's Fund and The Rubislaw Ward located at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital where we had Alfie) as my way of giving back. My mum (Tina) came on board a few years ago and in the past year we've both started working with macrame too. We take custom orders where possible so check our feed for any updates and messages with enquiry are always welcome �
