Nana

October is almost over, but breast cancer is not. I wanted to make a simple beanie for my Nana, who is now cancer free. Not once, but twice. This woman is an amazing person with a love for God and and her family. She is and inspiration to me. This is for her and all the others who battle with this disease. Remembering the ones we have lost.
