Please help out this foundation by bidding on this bear or buying a raffle ticket for other prizes. Proceeds go to help local families. Saturday May 16, 9am-3pm.

Awwww they grow up sooooo fast! This is one of my first students. This is Cynthia. 3 years ago she had never touched a sewing machine much less used one. Her first experience was absolutely hilarious! We still talk and laugh about it. But time goes on and she not only mastered the sewing machine, but she now has several of her own. Today for the very first time Cynthia set up at Bath Fest Arts and Crafts festival in Bath,NC. She was selling things she has made. Plastic bag holders, beach bags, jar covers and more! They were beautiful! She had never done an arts and crafts festival before. I couldn’t be more proud of her! This is what is all about. She had her two beautiful granddaughters with her and I’m sure she will be teaching them some sewing skills.

Just a couple of memory projects that I did this week for Mothers Day. The pillow is for an 11 year old boy who recently lost his mother unexpectedly. This simple shirt was the one she had worn to one of his last school events. He needed something to hug so his grandmother had this made for him for Mothers Day. It still smells of her perfume. The bear is for a 95 year old man who lost his wife of 75 years recently and is missing her terribly. She was a big ECU fan. The family will be using this adorable bear to represent their mother at family events. It too still smells of her perfume.
