Blog Advertisements

Well, I wasn't going to say anything today but then when I see my advertisement linked to my page it gets me a little frustrated.  I prefer something generic but definitely not pyschic.  After all that is not even what I believe in.  Post on my page something Christian, Jewish, non-religious but not things that I don't even believe in. 

Come on google have a brain!  I have never posted things like that!  So maybe this will generate something better for advertisements.  If not then I will delete all advertisements all together.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Lately, there has been a lot of Breast Cancer awareness, even though it is not the national breast cancer awareness month which is in October.

Some one on facebook started a game where only women play and state what their bra color was and posted it to their wall as the featured statement of the day. My son got into the act and posted the color of his underware too. Too funny. I guess it could be for prostate cancer awareness. There is a problem with that too.

The pink, lavender, red, black, pink, blue, white, butterflied, cheetah printed, nude & clear bra colors made the channel 4 SLC news the other night. Facebook doesn't know who started it going but the Susan B Kolman foundation says it was a great way to raise awareness for breast cancer. Way to go!



I created this blanket in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness too!
It's in my shop: heartandsowdesigns.etsy.com

Then today someone posted this video with the pink glove dance all for Breast Cancer Awareness.




I just love it! It's just too cute! Way to go people!

New Pictures of Lap blankets & Prayer Shawls

Since my model doesn't live near me I have to wait until she comes to town to take more pictures. I don't wait to post products because I need them posted right away so I use a mannequin in the meantime. My problem is I'm not a professional photographer. When I looked into my camera screen in the back the pics look best on mountain even though we are indoors. In reality they weren't best without a flash and many of my photos aren't usable. One of these days I will get this photography thing figured out.

2 New Blankets

Last night I just finished making two more lap blankets. These can be worn on your shoulders to keep you warm like a shawl or wear it on your lap to keep your legs warm.

My blankets are a form of encouragement for the wearer. They have been prayed over by my prayer team and have positive word affirmations on them. Great for gift giving or keeping for your self.


Purple blanket with the positive word "Strength"


Pink blanket with the positive word "Hope." Pink is the nationally known color for hope for breast cancer survivors and awareness.
