do you know about kickstarter?

Kickstarter

Well you should. You just should. Because it’s amazing.

Imagine an entire website dedicated to in kickstarter’s words 'follow and fund creativity' .

It exists people. It truly does.

No excuses, whatsoever not to pursue our creative dreams. 

It makes me a little weepy every time I log on to the site and see the generosity and support shown to creative people and their kickstarter projects. 

And there’s nothing that compares to the feeling of being a supporter to one or several projects. In fact I have recently decided that supporting kickstarter maybe be new form of tithing.

There’s nothing I love more than supporting {creative} people who are out there making it happen.

These are some recent projects I am, honored and proud to be a supporter of

Jessica Gonacha’s Rain Boots - I cannot wait for these!!!!

Lisa Field Elliot’s mission to help and document Midwives in Mexico

Nataly Dawn’s first solo album- seriously this is unbelievable. She asked for 20K and got over 100K.

And two more of my favorite people and sewers who are raising money to start their own pattern lines whose projects are funding right now!!!

Christine Haynes Sewing Patterns - she has 6 days to go!!!!!!!

So if you feel inspired, please support them. We need their beautiful creations in the world. 

Another thing I love about kickstarter, is that you can donate whatever amount feels right to you. And you can literally see how with each project how every person and every single dollar counts. It truly does.
