Love You, M!

A month ago, my friend who is only 37 years old discovered that she had breast cancer. Last week, she tested positive for The Gene. The gene that’s like, “Ohai! Yeah, your def gonna get more cancer, probably in both boobs. And in your ovaries too, just for good measure, so you should go ahead and get all your lady bits removed now.” What a douchey gene.

Through all this ridiculous business, she has been a total badass.

So I made her a little something:

That's right.

I started with a design from Subversive Cross-Stitch and tweaked it to include woodland creatures AND, as my friend is a CrossFitter, the barbell and kettlebell. Then I found the gaudiest, goldest frame I could find, and voilà!

FUCK CANCER.

(It’s at the gym, M, whenever you’re ready to come WOD.)

  1. Fuck Cancer HARD! Unless it likes it hard. Then. …well…ignore it till it’s just so pissed off it leaves.
    Nice craft work Amy. The uber- gold frame sets off your skill set nicely.
    Good luck to CrossFitter cancer fighter M! I’m pulling for you.

  2. Holy crap! This is the best thing ever in whole world (except tboz). I love it! Fuck you cancer! I’m so impressed and grateful and appreciative.

    Wait, I am “M”, right?

    P.S. BRCA2 is the douchiest gene there is. You are so right.

    P.S.S. You are my new favorite.
