Girls Night In - Breast Cancer Research

The Principal at our school had a Girls Night In tonight, and I said I would make a cushion to go with her raffel prize. These special little Skipping Girls proved very popular and many tickets were sold.
The lucky winner was our lovely young groovy Art Teacher who had fallen in love with the cushion. What she didn't know, was that if she didn't win, I was going to make one for her anyway as she loved it so much!
A couple of years ago, my mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. She went through a hard year, but has come through it. My best friend from High School was not so lucky. She was struck with it at a much younger age and fought for several years before the cancer spread to most parts of her body and finally to the lining of her brain, and stole her life away. She left behind a husband and 3 young children. I am going to have a Girls Night In of my own and will make another cushion to raffel to raise money for research.

On a brighter note, I forgot to mention that the headbands are reversable, so if you use 2 different fabrics, you get 2 headbands in one. They are just fantastic. Has anyone tried one yet?

And if you can't tell, I'm just a bit "in love" with my caterpillar at school!I was so thrilled with the comments that I thought I'd show you the whole thing. Unfortunately we have had to interrupt our Life Cycle unit to deal with "Our Bodies" as the Life Ed Van is in town, however we will get back to the Life Cycles all in good time.
The exciting thing is, that when we do, it will be about the Life Cycle of plants! Right up my alley.
