October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

It seems we all know someone who’s life has been touched by cancer and in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I designed this little Breast Cancer Buddy Bear. It is a pink Minky Patchwork Bear featuring the breast cancer support ribbon embrodiered on front. She (yes, of course it’s a girl bear!) makes a great chemo buddy or survivor gift for your special someone.

Not only will this little bear offer love and comfort but a portion of each bear sold will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for a Cure Foundation.

I saw a bunch of pics this past week of Chris Noth and Sarah Jessica Parker filming the Sex and The City sequel in the city, so I thought this is the perfect opportunity to re-post this pic:

Way to tie current entertainment news into Patchwork Bear news, right?! Well, maybe not, but you get the idea.

This is Greg from Sarah Jessica Parker’s office.  Sarah Jessica asked me to send her many thanks for the gift.

Well, we are back from a wonderful summer break and wondering, where did the summer go? Just a couple of weeks before the kids go back…ahhh…

I’ve been making the checklist of what fits in their closets and thought you might be too. So, while sorting through school clothes & necessities, why not pull out a few favorite outgrown clothes and have a KEEPSAKE QUILT or PATCHWORK BEAR made to preserve the best memories of the summer? Of course, it’s not just for kids- choose your own favorite t-shirts, dresses and clothes and have one made for yourself.

If you’re like me and need a little motivation, if you place your order by September 15th, you can save 15% on your entire order. Just type KEEPSAKE at checkout to redeem.
