My dear friend Jessica was dealt a tragic blow last week when her beautiful little Tuesday earned her wings after putting on a brave fight with cancer.

When I was visiting family in Australia last year I asked an extremely talented friend if she had anything that I could donate to a fund-raising event that was being held for little Tuesday not long after I returned back to the States.  Unfortunately, things didn't pan out quite the way I hoped and I wasn't able to send my auction item off.  I have been hanging onto it ever since waiting for the right moment to do something with it. 

On Friday I will be flying to Colorado with friends my twins group to attend Tuesday's 'Celebration of Life' (which is being held on Saturday).  I will be giving Jessica this beautiful handmade, inspirational purse.

Thank you Sue for letting me bring this home with me and I hope you don't mind me passing it on to Jess.  I'm sure she will treasure it.  The inspirational words embroidered over the purse I hope will bring her comfort and peace.

*Sue, I really hope you will consider opening an on-line store.  People would love to purchase all of the wonderful knitted bracelets, bags, quilts, and pillows that you make.*
