Mother's Day Gift Making and Breast Cancer Awareness

 

Mother's Day Gift Making and Breast Cancer Awareness

An unlikely combination? No way!

For those of you who don't know, I have a small home business making organic baby blankets.
Today, while sitting and sewing this Blue Panda Baby Blanket my mind wandered to Mother's Day and inspirations struck!

I wanted to make a gift for my mother (and mother-in-law) that would be meaningful to them. I want them both to feel pampered and loved everyday - not just on Mother's Day. I also know that the gift that would mean the most to them would be one that would give back to the larger community. So, I decided to make a Breast Cancer Awareness Organic Washcloth Gift Set! I have a beautiful, plush, organic terrycloth fabric that I have been holding onto - waiting for a special project. This is perfect!

Not only am I going to make a set of these organic washcloths for my mom and mom-in-law, I am going to add them to my offerings on my Etsy and Artfire Stores so that others can do the same!

I will be donating 20% of the purchase price ($18) to "Susan G. Komen for the Cure". Each purchase will contribute to research to help find a cure for breast cancer! It feels like a nice way to celebrate my moms and give back at the same time!
