Once Upon a crochet....
My Mother introduced me to crochet and that was that. Later I learned my Grandma could crochet and I just took her info and flew...
Since then life has throw me curve-balls like life sometimes does. I now found time to crochet for breast cancer victims because my Mother gave us a good scare and was diagnosed with breast cancer about 7 years ago. She fought and we pulled her threw but it defiantly put a whole new chapter in my life. A few years into finding out my Mom had breast cancer my cousin just one year older than me came to us with the same horrible news. I couldn't believe it. She fought her battle and lost this last August on her birthday. She leaves behind two young children. And the story doesn’t end there. My daughter only in her pre teens found a lump and had a lumpectomy last summer. It was a tumor but NO CANCER! Wow was that scary. Man did I pray hard. Well this summer she found another lump... in her other breast. My heart sank and I felt as though I had a knot in my throat. She pulled it together and said let’s do this. She had her second lumpectomy at the age of 15 and we just got the results back ... no cancer...
I know your thinking.. What does this have to do with crochet or knitting? But I now know why God gave me this talent.... To crochet for those in need. I am working with hospitals to donate crochet breast. I also sell them for material and shipping cost only. But allot of the times I rely on other sales in my etsy shop to make up for the donations. And God pulls me threw. It always works out somehow. I have met some amazing women. STRONG women that just fight this horrible thing called cancer and I feel in my heart I have come full circle with my crochet talent and I thank God for that!!!!!!!!!!!!
