Raff showed up with a Tremendous Joy despite all the struggle and pain she went through. She was Sewing Smiles as a way to spread her Joy all around in this season of her life, and this continues her mission.

These are Raffi's Words

"As I opened up about embroidering to peeps, I wasn't expecting so many 

orders, so quickly. As I've been paying more attention to my breath while 

fulfilling orders as well as through the day? what I thought would be anxiety 

turned into SO much excitement!

Through the whole cancer healing journey I have prayed for a way to create, 

bring joy to others, while also respecting the ups and downs of healing and the 

very real need to rest. It feels like the perfect fit to encourage others to breathe 

through challenges but realllilly to sprinkle some embroidered smiley faces and 

uplifting words, on upcycled denim and other clothing items.

Thank you for all the support!"

During this season she was starting to use the name Ella a bit as a new version of her moving forward leaving behind all the illness, as it's the last 4 letters of her name. These hoodies have the smiley that was actually one she embroidered, and the 'Ella Joy is for Raff. Every time a shirt goes out, so does a smile, and it will push joy out into the world, and give us an opportunity to talk about this Marvelous Woman We All Adored. Raff's Ripple continues. Thank You friend.
