Dueling Threads

08/30/2026

I’m unpacking and resetting after two trips that filled my cup. First I retreated with my mom and friends in Agency, Missouri. Then I spent 2 1/2 days at the Next Level Maker Conference. More on both later, but today I make for others, ship prep, and work on a little something for me. What’s under your needle?

A conference I am attending soon is collecting lego sets and donations for the Wipe Out Kids Cancer (pediatric cancer charity) Buddy Bag and Warrior Parent Socials Programs. I love that they do this for the kids and families. https://nextlevelmakerevents.com/wokc/

We've received almost 80 boxes of Legos for Wipe Out Kids' Cancer so far and there's still about 8 weeks to go! 🎉 Our goal is to donate at least 500 boxes.

This year we are partnering with WOKC by collecting Legos and monetary donations for kids and their families who are battling cancer.

If you are able, please bring one or more Lego sets worth $30 or less each to the Conference and drop them in the collection bins at registration.

-OR- if you can't come this year and would still like to donate Legos, you can ship them to Mark's office by August 15th:

3074 N. Aspen Avenue Suite 108, Broken Arrow, OK 74012

We are also collecting financial donations for Warrior Parent Socials to send the parents out on much needed date nights. ❤️

Please check out our website to learn more. You'll find instructions there on how to give financially from our community. https://nextlevelmakerevents.com/wokc

Check out my latest design. It can be made in lots of colors and uses your 45mm rotary blades past their fabric cutting prime. I especially love the iridescent plated blades! Reduce, reuse, recycle!
