Fran,
My Mum used to make hand made teddy bears, and there was one small design she use to make with the blue and yellow cancer council colour hats, she called the daffodil bears, when she sold these a portion of the profit she donated to the Cancer council for Cancer research (she would make these a her Oncology, medical appointments, while having chemo, traveling or at home).
I think it is a great idea, and good on you for making the kids bags to keep them occupied and comfortable during hospital visits for those kids who spend a LOT of time in hosptial (CF and Cancer kids).
I hope your daughter does NOT develop CF when she goes through puberty (it maust be hard for you all, like a time bomb that you are waiting to see if it is live or a dud).
I like your October plans too, very original.
