So welcome to Project Junior, the goal of this project is to ensure that there is a stitched ornament every year until he is 20. For the local group it also means attempting to use some of his mom's fabric and fibres to create these ornaments (where I will be coordinating sending the ornament out I will not be sending our supplies outside of the city). The goal is to hopefully create enough now to disperse throughout the years. However, one ornament a year in the event there isn't uptake from the group isn't a huge thing to take on. Luckily there are a couple of people I know will help me make that happen ;). It is quite possible that there will be more than one a year, but with any child related project, it has to be has to be a full on commitment. The response so far from our group has been overwhelmingly positive so here's to many years of keeping Cathey's stitching spirit alive.
Now on to this year's ornament that's popping in the mail tomorrow:
Until next time,
Katie

What a wonderful sentiment. The ornament is adorable.
What a wonderful thing to be doing!
What a wonderful idea. Using Cathey's own supplies makes it even more precious. And I love the cute ornament you stitched.
Brilliant and I love the fact that it isnt cancer related. We are so much more than a cancer diagnosis. If one more person says to me 'because of your medical history'...well I have only had a diagnosis for two years...there are a whole 41 years more history behind that! I think what you are doing is perfect. I wonder if you might consider letting others join in? Perhaps send ornies to you to pass on to Junior. I would be happy to organise it rather than add to your workload. Just a thought xxxxx
This is wonderful!! I love that you are using her own supplies ~ fabulous way to keep her spirit alive for JR!
Yes I would be open to that :)
What a beautiful project
Cathey must be very happy from where she is and each ornament will be very precious

Katie, what a great way to honor Cathey and keep her spirit alive for Junior. That's an adorable first ornie for him!
Oh,such a wonderful idea, Katie! I know the ornaments stitched by you and your friends will be something he'll look forward to year after year.
Lovely little penguin :)
Oh wow! I had wondered if possibly you might be involved in using some of her supplies or finishing pieces of hers. This is just fabulous. How heart warming. This penguin is so very precious.
