Romey’s mom shared her surprise in aninterview, saying that it was a pleasant surprise. “Never seen someone work so fast in my life. I had no idea it was for us. What a cool way to just do something nice for a stranger, and in turn, light up everyone else’s day.”

Meegan also posted about her encounter with a young fan. Shewrote:
My heart melted, she was adorable and deserving of a custom beanie! Thanks Kelly and Jake for sharing this story. The more we give, the more we receive!”
Meegan started crocheting during the pandemic. It grew into a business – now she makes adorable outfits for doggies, bags and even bikinis!
Bored Pandahas reached out to Meegan for an interview to learn more about the story. Her crocheting journey began back in Spring 2021. “Almost 3 years of crocheting. I’m still learning the basic of crochet, so up to this point most projects have flaws” she admitted.
Meegan also shared a very important insight when it comes to creating things:
“But let’s be real here: nothing more magical than to create something of value from a single strand. It makes you more connected to the universe”.
“It’s a super zen, relaxing craft!” she added.
However, it can be difficult at the beginning “The learning can be frustrating for people. They get tense and give up too quickly. It’s like cooking – takes years to master the flavour!”
When asked why she decided to make a gift for little Romey, she wrote: “I am the kind of person who enjoys giving. Blessed with many talents I like to teach and share my passions with others”. How inspiring!
