Breast Thermography!

I spoke with Lisa's Mom by Phone this morning. One ot the things she wants everyone to know is that there is a test that can detect breast cancer up to 10 years earlier. It is called Breast Thermography. I started reading about it on line this morning after talking to Joyce.
It uses thermal imaging to detect increased vascularity that would feed a tumor in the breast. Had our Dear Lisa had this test when she was younger, she would still be with us today. This is an emerging technology and not available in all areas yet, but with public demand, this could save a staggering amount of lives and suffering.
Please check out www.iact-org.org
And google breast thermography and find out for yourselves!

A very Special Bag

As promised here are the pictures of my Pink Passion Bag, aka the bag of a thousand tears. My Dear Friend Lisa was alive when I started it, and succumbed to her year and half long battle with breast cancer before it was complete. The yarn is a fabulously soft hand spun art yarn, with lots of flash. It is a combination of pink yarns with high and low lights. The wool was hand dyed by Holly of http://www.hollyeqq.com/ Then Spun by me and hand knit. The bag is Lined with Hand Dyed Kona Cotton. The loop and button closure features a large gold toned Lion. Lisa told me in her last few months, that she had visions of Lord Jesus Coming to her in the form of a lion and Carrying her on his back. She took Great comfort in this. This bag would Retail in my shop for 170.00. I will be offering it soon as a raffle Item to raise money for Lisa's Family she leaves behind three wonderful boys, a Husband, Her Loving Parents and Sister.
