October is....

October is winding down but I wanted to remind everyone that is Breast Cancer Awareness month. To raise more awareness I decided to do a Crafty Needlework Challenge on Craftster. There were so many different ideas and such personal stories that I had to share them. The winner of the challenge was Crafty Dame. She describes her work as Deceptive Beauty.

Not only is October Breast Cancer Awareness month but also Domestic Violence Awareness-which brings me to the second part of the challenge. I have never seen such beautiful and strong pieces of needlework.

A big huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the challenge and brought such amazing and powerful statements to the public. If you want to read more about each piece, check out Craftster and if you want to help someone in the community check out your local domestic violence shelters, and breast cancer organizations.
