laugher is the best medicine

i've been stressed, which is no secret. but one of the main stresses is my mom's recent breast cancer diagnosis {which is all i'll say about that}
so, true to my family's form, i dealt with the news with craft therapy and humor.
and then sent my mom a little package with this "tasteful and classy scarf", as i referred to it in the accompanying card.

a boobie scarf!
{knit by me}

she laughed so hard she cried. and it arrived just in time to relieve a little stress. and while it's been really hard to be so far away from her right now, i feel like i'm finally there, in spirit if not in body. 
we all need a boobie scarf now and then :)

  2. That's so sweet, Angie . . . I'm sorry you (and your mama) are going through this, but I'm sure the scarf cheered her up, at least for a bit. Last year, I did the 60 mile breast cancer walk, and it was so inspiring to see all the survivors walking . . . sending good thoughts your way!

  3. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I will keep her in my thoughts. I LOVED how you made best of the situation though. We need more simple moments like that in our life. I'm sure she appreciated you so much when she received it.
