Supporting Relay For Life

Most of you reading this know that Julie and I are both involved with fundraising and supporting the American Cancer Society through Relay For Life. Julie's day job is with the ACS and I volunteer for the Bedford Relay For Life, which has been held at my school for the last two years.

Even though our crafting is a way for us to spend time away from our day jobs, we do find opportunities every now and then to make things that we use to support the ACS and their efforts to finish the fight against cancer. Julie has even hosted some Thirty-One parties to support Relay events in our area.

Earlier this year, I started some new sting art projects during my snow days off from school. These projects incorporate some painting and my nail-and-string designs, and are much larger than my usuals. The one pictured below is 24" x 24" and is freestanding as a display item. There are about 150 nails in it and many, many yards of thread.


You can purchase the HOPE string art from our SatterThings shop on Etsy, and all of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. If you're around the Roanoke area, let me know before you buy and we can wrk out a delivery plan to help you avoid paying the shipping cost on this large item. 

As always, please feel free to email us, find us on Facebook, on here, or on Etsy to talk with us about custom items, or about getting involved with Relay For Life!
