So I just received this photo from Save the Children and I wanted to share it with all of you!  I knitted this cap a few weeks ago which was then delivered to Ethiopia and given to an expectant mother who was waiting to give birth in her incredibly primitive home. 

The baby was delivered with the help of a birth attendant that had been trained by Save the Children.  The birth attendant put the cap on the newborn's head in order to prevent hypothermia, and then snapped this photo. 

What do you guys think of my knitting skills?

Hey Guys!  I'm so excited to finally have my own site where I can keep you all up to date with everything going on in my life! 

I was just going through some of my old photos and I came across all of these shots that have been in different magazines over the past few years.  I've done a lot of work overseas with some incredible photographers, so I thought you all might enjoy these! 

Just click on the photos below and then scroll through the gallery.

For those of you who don't already know, I'm involved with an organization called Save the Children.  Save the Children is committed to helping impoverished children and their families in the United States, as well as all over the world.

So I recently spent some time in South Africa, where I visited a primary school in Soweto.  Many of the children there are orphans or are infected with the AIDS virus.  The kids and I read together, I helped serve them their lunch, and then after school my boyfriend at the time and I drove one of the little boys home.  Just seeing where these children come from and the lives that they lead really opened my eyes to how much there is to be done in the world.

It truly was a life changing experience and I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to spend time with these children.  I have every intention of returning in the near future. 

I just wanted to share some of my personal photos with you guys, and hopefully they will inspire you to go out and get involved.
