Scenes from the Relay for Life 2010

Yes, this is my Aunt Louise with the survior shirt and Aunt Betty sitting with her (my brothers in the background).

New curtains and Ruby's dress

Ruby let me know she was not wearing the shirt I made for the Relay. I had this pillowcase dress already made and added a little ribbon and a unicorn. Hope this makes her want to wear it. I may be making one for Layla. These were dish towels and I added the embroidery from my sewing machine.

RELAY FOR LIFE JUNE 5TH

We've had all this time to prepare for this event and now it's here. This Saturday at 5:00 PM. Our team (Old Hope Church of Christ) has made the most money so far. Everyone has done a great job.

I made these charms from glass and paper to sell at the Relay. Made shirts for my two smallest to wear at the event. Made buttons for everyone on the team to wear.

Relay purse

This is another purse I had made for the relay event. It's also Rebeka 's pattern at artyscraftybabe. They didn 't sell, but I have another chance to sell them, because we'll be having other events. Thanks Bekki. They are easy and a lot of fun to make.

Relay event

They both went a little crazy with the face and body paint. Layla has "I love Lizards" on one arm and "I love Frogs" on the other and she's a cat. Not sure what Ruby supposed to be.

We all had a great time at the Relay for Life event on Saturday night. We made a little over $6,000. Can you believe it? Our goal is $10,000 and so far we've reached $8,000.

Phoebe bag for Relay

Rebeka from Artsy crafty babe gladly came me permission to sell these Phoebe bags at the Relay for Life benefit on Saturday. I've got more to make. Hope we make lots of money for the cancer society.

Relay items and a purse for me

Made this purse from a pillow sham I got last year. The lining is from the back of the sham. I really liked it and wanted to use it, but never found anything to match in my bedroom. Pattern is Butterick 4624.
Made the rice bag and the 2 cup holders for the Relay for Life baskets.

Time to get back

It's time. Vickie's gone and she would want me to get on with the business at hand. That is to work on our Relay for Life team for the American Cancer Society. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be posting things I've made.

Funerals have a way of bringing people back together. I saw a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. Thanks Vickie.

Rice bag and Ipod Touch pouch

At our RELAY FOR LIFE benefit on March 27th we're having a live auction and a silent auction. So far I've made this rice bag for a Rejuvenation Basket (bought lotions and pink bath towels for this). We get businesses in the area to donate items and we also buy items or make them to add to the baskets. We're having a Coffee Basket so I've bought coffee cups, a couple of different coffees and Starbucks donated coffee. I plan on making some coffee mug holders and coasters.


I made this pouch for Ashley's Ipod Touch. The button is vintage (I have one more of these). The picture looks yellow, but it's not really yellow. She loved it.

American Cancer Society Relay For Life

Our church is sponsoring "Relay for Life" this June along with a lot of other organizations. We're having Yard Sales, Bake Sales, Car Washes and a Benefit Concert at Leiper's Fork Recreation Center. I'm so excited about it. At the benefit we'll have a live auction, a silent auction, food for sale and a bake sale.

I've got lots of things in mind to make for the sale. Can 't wait to get started.

Vickie (my sis) is not doing well at all. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.

Just got my brace off last week and really hadn't started any major projects.

I did thrift this adorable platter at Goodwill.
