Oh ye Midwesterners, spring is NOT just around the corner. Might be time to admit you are still going to be piling on the winter coat, gloves/mitten and scarf for a few more MONTHS. But, this week I'm featuring a crafter who makes all sorts of fun ways to stay warm. She also makes Boobie Beanies, which I saw at the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Washington, D.C., and LOVED enough that I would consider wearing a knit beanie in 70-degree weather. Especially if I found another boob to wear one with me. (That hasn't happened. Yet.)
What I create: I love to knit! More importantly, I like to knit with a purpose. I've always got a project in my lap. If you ever wanted to feel good about an evening as a couch potato, knit some baby hats while watching your favorite chick flick.
My favorite piece in my Etsy shop is: The Boob Tube Scarf. I designed and created the orignal for a contest to raise breast cancer awareness. I didn't win the contest, but the scarf has been a hit: the biggest seller in my shop.
The charities I support: Susan G Komen Foundation, Children's Cancer Research, OFA Red Scarf Project, Newborns in Need, and HAP (Handmade Afghans Project)
I also lead the ETSY YARN-A-HOLICS TEAM, which focuses heavily on charity work.
What more people should realize about cancer is: that it can happen to anyone, at any time. Every day is a gift. Ruffle feathers. Turn over stones. Take the path less travelled. Follow your heart.
My favorite cancer-awareness slogan: "Fight Like a Girl" (although "Feel Your Boobies" is a close second)
The biggest blessing in my life is: My family: They're my biggest cheer leaders, and my best friends.
