Chicken Dumpling 1/25

Description

My last fund-raising project was a huge success. We were able to raise $500 for Heifer International to help families support themselves.

This one is even closer to my heart. 100% of the sale price of this pincushion will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. I am donating my time and supplies, so that the whole $20 from this purchase will go toward our goal of $500. I chose the chicken motif, because chickens have breasts, too!

This little "chicken dumpling" is made from up-cycled wool skirts. She is stuffed with excelsior moss, which helps keep straight pins nice and sharp. She is firmly stuffed and will come with three handmade heart-topped straight pins. Each is signed and numbered on the bottom and comes with a hand-stamped thank you card with information about our cause.

Each chicken is hand-cut with grey beaded eyes. Each one is unique. This would make a great, sentimental gift for Mother's Day or birthday. Each of us knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer. For me, it was my grandmother.

We will track the success of this project in the shop announcement section of my shop.
