Another group of women, nearing delivery, completed the course at the "School for Moms". Every group differs in its character and by its atmosphere and each group leaves special memories and evokes different emotions. The most recent group of young women that had their pictures taken on the last day of training had a distinctive spirit of creativity. Every woman has great potential that comes to fullness during pregnancy when she discovers unexpected talents for the rest of her life.

That is what happened to Lyusya who found interest in beadwork. Almost every day she would surprise us with her ornaments - true masterpieces. Here is a bouquet of chrysanthemums that you especially appreciate on a frosty day that remind you of all the gold that comes with warm fall. And here are the butterflies and a bumble-bee, and unforgettable violets that would be a perfect gift on Women’s Day for her relatives. The volunteers at the Life Care Center now own the everlasting, always blooming violets that will conjure memories of conversations with Lyusya and her kind and caring heart.

Natasha has always been good at needlework, but during her pregnancy she had a bigger desire to create something for her baby-daughter to be: a knitted outfit, the padding, canopy and a pillow for the crib.

Nadya surprised us with the things that she crocheted – emerald green summer outfit, laced sweater to wear on a cool weather day, booties and a blanket for the stroller.
Pregnancy is a great time to express your talents! It’s true indeed that any form of art disciplines the mind and is soothing to the heart. It’s an expression of love and creative potential. Besides, it’s a pleasure for family members to know that someone cares for them and makes things that are dedicated to them.
