Jaxon was diagnosed with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) 5 days after his second birthday (Feb 2011). His mother told me that Jaxon is the seventh (7th) child in Canada to be diagnosed with this rare disease. I am his great-aunt Louise and I come up with the idea of this blog to keep people informed, and to use my passion for stitching to raise money for the FOP organizations.

A Very Successful Craft Fair
Hello, how are you today. I am simply chuffed (as my British sister-in-law) would say, in other words...I am very, very happy. We had a successful day at the craft fair, we raised .... drum roll please.... $800!!!! Wow, I was hoping that maybe, if we were lucky, we would get $500 but we surpassed that. When I say we, I mean Manon and myself, Manon is a wonderful lady that I had the pleasure of working with for many years and I am very fortunate that she wanted to keep in touch with me after I retired. It was Manon who suggested that I get a table at the craft fair (at work) and we could raise some money for the FOP as well as raise awareness of this rare disease. She loves to do some crafts and she made the cutest little bath mitts (shaped like a kitten, a whale and a snowman) this year and they were so successful that she took orders for several more. I cannot thank her enough for her help and her support in helping me with these craft fairs. To all the people who bought some goodies, thank you for supporting us. Big hugs, Louise
