Subversive anti-cancer cross-stitch kits

 All I can think is that Katie  would have loved this.  She died of breast cancer just over a year ago.  We came across some pictures the other day.  In the picture someone's holding our video camera, so we spent the next hour finding the video of that day.  It's from about 6 months before she was diagnosed, and less than a year before she died.  She would have loved these:

Subversive anti-cancer cross-stitch kits: "

For survivors-to-be whose healing arsenal includes attitude. I dedicate this post, on this particular day, to Gloria Rosa Linda, who is going to beat the living shit out of breast cancer. Sewing kits range from $12 to $20, depending on what materials you'd like to include. Julie Jackson is the crafter behind them. See also these bracelets, too (those are not for sale) (subversivecrossstitch.com, via Fuzzy Gerdes)

Chalk Bot at the Tour Du France

An amazing thing is happening at the Tour Du France called Chalk Bot. It's basically a printer for the street which will be printing messages of hope and inspiration in front of the riders and is sponsored by Nike and Lance Armstrong's team. You can send your messages via Twitter to @chalkbot. What's also cool is that they'll send you a picture and location of where it's printed in France once it's complete. See the videos below for more information on chalbot.

I sent a message for Kate. We'll see if it gets printed, and post it here if it does.

Cancer Sucks

I think that Katie would have liked this sticker I spotted today. After all, she enjoyed the Platypus I found for her.
