Happy last Sunday in May! It's Sunday High Tea with Caroline at Off the Grid Needlearts, but rather than making a new start, I'm going for a finish on Be Inkspired by Emma Congdon (Stitchrovia) from the Summer 2017 issue of Cross Stitcher:
It's also on the Stitchrovia Etsy shop, so click on the picture to buy.
At the start of the video:
I'm stitching this 2/2 on a mystery 25 count linen (WHY am I doing 2/2 on 25?!?! AGAIN) that I picked up at the thrift store and hit with a little bit of Navy Rit to mottle it up with MOST of the called for flosses. My only changes were to the word "Yourself" to make it say "Science" instead and the skin tone on the sailor girl and one of the hands is now a combination of 436 (Latisha's base color) and 869.
At the end of the video:
I'm totally in love with this and I can't wait to have it finished!!
Alzeheimer's Needleminders from Heather the Imperfectly Perfect Stitcher!
Heather, the Imperfectly Perfect Stitcher on Flosstube and TheIPSNeedleminders on Etsy, is selling Alzheimer's Needleminders to support my Walk to End Alzheimer's in October. Here are her minders: (click on the picture to buy)
They're $7 and ALL $7 goes to my walk!! So THANK YOU Heather!!
Every October, the Alzheimer's Association hosts a walk and fundraiser in Eugene, Oregon. This year ours is on October 14. I didn't realize this till I was grabbing the link to the page this morning, but y'all, we are the HIGHEST SINGLE PERSON FUNDRAISER SO FAR THIS YEAR!!!
Thank you all SO MUCH for donating and helping find a cure for Alzheimer's!!
And speaking of finding a cure, here's the graphic that I found that shows how much of our money goes to research vs administration:
That's 77% of all funds straight to care, support, research, awareness, and advocacy! I can get behind that!
If you'd like to donate directly to my walk without buying a needleminder, go ahead and click on this picture: (because we all walk together)
