Stitches

Brittany gave her parents a really cool present last year from Christmas. After getting Sandy out of the house to run an errand, we had a "modeling" session with Garth behind the camera, taking pictures of Brittany. She picked her favorite one and her gift was underway. We sent the picture to a company that stitch together a blanket that looks exactly like the photo. Pretty amazing right? By taking multiple colors of thread, Brittany's image was placed perfectly on a cozy blanket. For years to come, it would make it possible to have Brittany wrapped up, together with mom and dad.

I have been thinking about this seemingly impossible task...taking random pieces of colored thread and making something beautiful. I have some red yarn I purchased years ago upstairs in my craft drawer. Once in awhile I pull some out for random projects or simply to tie something together. But that is pretty much the only use that lonely ball of yarn gets...you see I don't have a craft gene.

But I have some pretty crafty neighbors on my street that do.

One talented friend, Suzi, started a "Knit Night," bringing hosts of woman together to create the most amazing things...out of simple balls of yarn. They come together to share ideas, teach one another new techniques, and create what I think would be impossible (with just one ball of yarn) into things quite miraculous.

When we come together, we have the ability to make simple pieces of thread, into masterpieces. Right now, NBIA is a simple thread. It is so rare, most of us haven't even heard of this debilitating disease, including doctors! By coming together, we can create a miracle in Brittany's life and those other children who suffer with NBIA and help lead to a cure.

It is a simple stitch, followed by another and another that leads to the perfect cozy blanket.

Add your simple donation and together we can find a cure....one stitch at a time!
