in march 2006, i was able to donate a goat to a family. The early morning bleating of a dairy goat is a happy sound for children. They know it's ready to be milked! A goat provides a family with fresh milk, cheese and added income when they sell offspring, and any extra food at the market. there are lots of donations you can make at world vision - you can even buy a family a dairy farm! here's a few more things you can donate: Oxen and Plow, Camel, Mule, Alapacas! who knew that there was more to world vision than just child sponsorship. and even with sponsoring one child you end up supporting the child's whole family.

bio
stitchpixie is a Canadian artist based out of Vancouver, BC. Well before she was a teenager, she picked up drawing, dance, photography, and writing. A teacher once told her, "Don't make your passion your career - it'll suck the fun out of it." So it only makes sense that she’s a full-time pharmacist, all the while crafting and mailing out orders in her free time.

Each accessory is designed, handmade, and photographed by stitchpixie herself. She is heavily inspired by pop art and retro memorabilia, and she has a greater interest in fashioning unique designs rather than mass-producing the same piece.

Her current focus combines punchy color with simplicity and function. Her Akimbo line of sterling earrings incorporates the earring functionality into the overall design for a sleek, aesthetically balanced feel. Her vegan-friendly vinyl pouches and wristlets deconstruct everyday images into simple di- or tri-chromatic works that tackle everything from mammalian reproduction to nature scenes. She is heavily inspired by pop art and retro memorabilia, and she has a greater interest in fashioning unique designs rather than mass-producing the same piece.
