Hello

My journey into crochet and creating handmade items began with my biggest supporter: my sister, Patti Ann Clapp Conner. She was my greatest fan, always excited to see the new creations I would come up with. She’d critique my work, and I welcomed her feedback because I wanted to be the best at what I do. Having her by my side pushed me to perfect my craft and fueled my passion for creating.

In July of 2010, my sister was diagnosed with brain cancer, and after an incredible battle, she passed away in January of 2019. Losing her was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced, but it also motivated me to honor her memory in a way that would make a difference.

Since her passing, I’ve dedicated my business to supporting those affected by brain cancer. Every year, during the month of May—Brain Cancer Awareness Month—I donate 100% of the funds made to endbraincancer.org. From June to April, I donate $2 for every item sold to the same organization in memory of my sister.

My goal is to help raise awareness and provide financial support to endbraincancer.org, which works to help brain cancer patients access information, resources, and rapid treatment. Their mission to provide immediate access to advanced treatment, clinical trials, and critical care is something I truly believe in.

Though brain cancer is still a challenge, I hold onto hope that one day there will be a cure—or at least treatments that prolong lives and offer more time for those affected. Thank you for supporting my business and helping me honor my sister’s memory while contributing to a cause that matters deeply to me.
