Sponsor Giveaways: SewCute Shop
One person will receive a Women's Auty Top from SewCute Shop (you will be able to choose your own fabric from her current stock):
Here's a little bit about SewCute Shop and Brandy's mission to do something really good for another family:
I started sewing sometime last year and fell in love. My grandmother (Nana) taught me the basics of pinning patterns, hemming, and seams. After being taught those skills I have really been a self-taught seamstress. I have a true love for putting the most trendy fabrics together and making 'SewCute' items. The items I place in SewCute Shop are my favorites and I am very happy to make them for you.
In March 2009 my best friend's little boy was suddenly diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) - a degenerative brain disease. The movie 'Lorenzo's Oil was made to bring awareness to this newly discovered disease. In early April, Joel, Teresa and Riley Greene aka TEAMGREENE were moved from Chattanooga, TN to Durham, NC where Riley would spend what they thought 100 days after receiving a bone marrow transplant. Due to complications, this week marks 133 TEAMGREENE has been in Duke Hospital.
I made a pledge to donate all proceeds from SewCute Shop to TEAMGREENE until they returned home in Chattanooga. For me sewing has become much more than just a hobby it has been a small part of what allows my best friend to stay by her son's side. For more information on TEAMGREENE visit www.carepages.com/carepages/teamgreene and create a username/password.
When I'm not sewing away I enjoy spending time with my fabulous husband, Ty and two children Autumn (9) and Tyler (2).
I had Brandy make one of these for Anna (see above) and one of these for me (love wearing it over my jeans) and they are awesome.

Thanks for the link. Her clothes are awesome. A non-profit I help with a small donation when I can afford one is:
www.wnpr.org (Connecticut's public radio and television).
A lively debate and independent news source is important to me.

Those are the cutest! I adore Amy Butler fabrics and the top is cute a great shape.
I can also picture your Anna looking *adorable* in the pinafore!
My favorite charity (this week-- there are so many people out there doing so many wonderful things, how do you choose a "favorite"?) is the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's research. I just finished reading MJF's new book and have been reading up on what his charity is doing. I've always been a fan of his and it's wonderful that he is using his fame for good!

My favorite charity is World Vision. My mother went to Mongolia on behalf of the World Health Organization and was able to team up with World Vision to teach doctors current health care and provide for their basic needs as well.
