This week I did these commissioned patches for the American Cancer Society. They are in honor of Ernie Harwell, a man I didn’t know much about until this week, even though he was a very popular gentleman here in Michigan. “He was known for his long career calling play-by-play of Major League Baseball games. For 55 years, 42 of them with the Detroit Tigers, Harwell called the action on radio and/or television. In January 2009, the American Sportscasters Association ranked Harwell 16th on its list of Top 50 Sportscasters of All Time.” He recently passed away due to bile duct cancer at 92 years old.
To raise money for the American Cancer Society, I was asked to design & do these iron-ons.
“I think I owe thanks to the people who have listened to me over the years, who tuned in on the radio. They have given me a warmth and loyalty that I’ve never been able to repay. The way they have reached out to me has certainly been the highlight of my life.”- E. Harwell

I have lots of small bits around the craft space, and to utilize some that are under the category of “I’m going to need that some day..”, I made a simple brooch & medallion.
For the brooch
Step 1: gather supplies – pin backing, needle-nose pliers, scissors, E6000 glue, markers, miscellaneous bits of old jewelry, broken parts & mismatched earrings.
Step 2: DECONSTRUCT ! (needle-nose pliers used here)
Step 3: ReCONSTRUCT! (here’s where your imagination & glue come in)
For the medallion
All the steps are the same, but I used fabric that I drew a simple design on for the back of the medallion. That way light can shine through it .
Draw a picture
Assemble
Embellish & add backing

Since becoming a mom, and this year being my first Mother’s Day to celebrate, its become a different holiday to me. I realized that certainly takes a lot to be a parent, and I havn’t even been at it for 4 months yet. I also realized that it been the best experience. I have always been grateful for my parents, but I am especially grateful in a new way.
So this year I wanted to give my mom something I really thought was special. I saw the tutorial from Dana’s Amazing blog, MADE. I read her blog daily. Its an inspirational jumping-off point for journal writing. You pull out a prompt, and write about whatever comes to your mind.
*I found the jar for $1.00 at the Salvation Army
*I made the flower on top with scraps of card stock and E6000, which is the best glue!
*The scraps inside are a mix of suggestions from the tutorial and ideas I had.
*The notebook was $2.00
Total project cost varies : about $3 – $10 (if you don’t have any of the supplies)
I’m excited to see what she comes up with.
