May is ..

May is Brain Cancer Awareness month. I lost my mom to this horrible disease March 2011. When she was diagnosed , I started to make Brain Cancer awareness bracelets. I sold them on my jewelry facebook page to help raise money for gas so she could get to her doctors appointments. A crochet friend of mine had a few auctions to help raise money as well to help her out with bills and such. This friend is the reason I make caps for people going through chemo. She made a cap for my mom's bald head, although she didn't lose her hair from chemo. The doctor asked my mom before the surgery to remove the tumor if she wanted her whole head shaved or just the part he needed to operate. She said " Its warm here,  go ahead and shave all off" :) she was living in Florida.

So every May I try to raise money to donate to Brain Cancer Research in hopes to help other people.
Last year I was able to send close to $50. This year I hope to send $75.

Here is the link to my fb jewelry page where I sell the bracelets. I added a few pairs of earrings as well.

Soon I will be posting a few crocheted items to help raise money.

Special request are encouraged ! :)

My step dad and beautiful mom!

Scarfs for the Special Olympics

I am in a few loom knitting groups on Facebook. And one group ( cant remember which one) posted about Scarfs for the Special Olympics.  At that second I wanted to make some. I love helping people, when I can. Red Heart yarn is a sponsor. So the yarn people have to make the scarfs with has to be red yarn. The colors for the 2012 Special Olympics are    Red Heart Super Saver Cherry Red 0319,  Red Heart Super Saver Soft Navy 0387,  Red Heart Soft Navy 4604,  Red Heart Soft Really Red 9925 Beautiful colors. Deadlines for this year are fast approaching. People who want to make scarfs can send them to the state they live in. Rhode Island only has 26 scarfs. So I plan to make 4 by their deadline , Feb 11. Shipping only takes one day so I have some time to make them. The colors for 2013 will be announced in April. Can't wait to start looming  :)  I want to make about 3-4 a month for them. Red Heart yarn is less than $4 at ...

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
