I play "dirty bingo" once a month. It's not as naughty as it sounds, I assure you, although the conversation can take a turn! A group of friends get together to play bingo, but more importantly to eat, drink wine, and steal presents from one another. This month the theme is Charity. With our budget we are tasked to purchase our prizes so that they benefit the charity of our choice. With the Heart Walk coming up soon, naturally I chose to benefit the American Heart Association.
And guess what? You get a sneak peak at my creation for this years Heart Walk!
As I recall, the original rules for our prizes allowed for the creative types to make something. I think they are hoping I will make a Breast Cancer Awareness Cloche, but I like to change things up and make new things. While I was camping this weekend I made this "headband?" I don't know what to call it. Help me out, what did I make?!?
It's cute, whatever it is!!! Super simple. I used this pattern for the heart. Really easy heart pattern. I memorized it after making the first one, and can see that it would be quick to make one of the garlands she has in the post. I've made another headband and am putting hearts on it in a different style for myself.
I hope the ladies love this Charity Bingo prize! Did I mention I am walking in the American Heart Association Heart Walk again this year in memory of my Dad? My Dad died almost 3 years ago from a massive heart attack. I am also celebrating this year, my cholesterol is finally down! There is a link at the top right of this web page, click there to read more about why I am walking and donate to me or my team!
