CP67 - Love Those Hooters

On this, the final day of FDbyK4TT helping to spread awareness for this year's Breast Cancer Awareness Month; I would be remiss if I didn't share with my readers the most valuable information for breast health.

Not only good diet, healthy habits and regular Mammograms (beginning at age 30 and regularly, once a year, every year there after), but also 'self-checks' MONTHLY.

The link contained within, will help you to provide the best methods for detecting concerns in the breast.  

Perhaps the most important part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is not the pretense of saying "hey.. did you know this disease exists" - but to set a 'clock of sorts', to remind everyone to take a single day every October - to check yourself and make sure you are doing all you can to prevent or detect Breast Cancer.
The more you know about your own body - the more likely you are to detect disease early enough to have a positive outcome.

With contrasting color (Baby Pink used in model) embroider some "V" stitches to simulate 'feathers' on belly area of your Owl.
With White, add points of light to the eyes if you used fiber to create them.

Add any other personal touches to create your own version of this project.
