bookmarks for mito wish upon a star

I have made several bookmarks in the past few days to raise money for mito wish upon a star i will attach the photos at the end of this post. two have zebras on them and one is a christmas picture with an angel and sheep. On the back it says who mito wish upon a star are and what we do which is to raise money for children with mito all over the world and also have volunteers like myself who make things or sell things to raise money for mito wish upon a star so they can buy gift cards for children all over the world. Volunteers also make christmas and birthday cards and these are given to affected children and adults all over the world. When volunteers want to make/provide gifts to affected children its like a secret santa. I am selling them for $2.50 australian each or 5 for $10 australian. If you are interested please email me erinmckenziechristensen@gmail.com

Well i have finally finished a zebra minus the ribbon and eyes. for anyone viewing this who wants to buy one i can embroider the eyes or sew on buttons, do whatever colour ribbon you want and possibly add a thin ribbon bow to the zebras ear too. thats what someone suggested and i like the idea. so heres a couple of photos. The zebra is $10 Australian (including the ribbon, not shown in this photo), plus postage to wherever you live according to Australia post. If you would like to buy the zebra please email me at erinmckenziechristensen@gmail.com with what you would like (I will try to get you the colour ribbon you would like if that is possible). I can also put thin ribbon round its ears as well. I have another zebra with a green jumper (green is colour for mitochondrial disease) and a zebra with a jumper is $12 plus postage. again let me know if you would like one, the quantity, what colour ribbon and with or without a jumper.

This is my new blog which i wanted to create so that I can post pictures of all of the craft projects that i make throughout the year. I do crochet, knitting, cardmaking, quilting, and others. I am on various groups on facebook and mito wish upon a star has been set up to raise money for children with mitochondrial disease, a type of muscular dystrophy. I am currently making various projects to sell to friends/family and to others with mitochondrial disease and all of the profits raise will go to this group. So this site is a way to show people what i have made in the past and what i am currently making and then i am happy to take requests for projects to support mito wish upon a star. My doctors believe that it is highly probable that i have mitochondrial disease too. It can have child or adult onset and there is no cure.

The first picture is of a teddy i made for two friends birthdays (but they dont know this yet!) I have a whole book of these teddies with all sorts of different additions from a piano accordian to viola, butterflies, clothing of various kinds. they are all so cute.

The second picture is of amineko it means crocheted cat in Japanese. This picture was taken for a competition from a craft shop to win a voucher for that shop you had to make the amineko (and the book came from this shop with the pattern in it) and then you had to have amineko doing something. Since i play the viola i took a picture of him with a viola and then i also got my toy piano and took another photo with him playing the piano too. I didn't win the competition but the photos are cute and amineko is a cute kitty. I will update more things ive made later on and eventually i hope this site will lead to people outside the mito community viewing my craft projects and hopefully bringing some orders to raise money for mito wish upon a star.
