Hey, Gang, put on your thinking caps for this one…
Juliann Krute, aka The Sick Chick, is organizing a charity effort to collect craft supplies and handmade items for people with chronic illness. (Do you remember Juliann’s podcast from earlier this year?)
Originally, she called this project The Sick Chick Crafts for Causes, but now wants to change the name. (She has people helping with the project now, and the name “Crafting for Causes” is already taken.)
This is where you come in. And it’s also where the giveaway comes in!
Post a comment here, suggesting a new name for Juliann’s project. It should express creativity and support for people with chronic illness. Juliann will select a winner, who will receive a copy of Stencil 101 Decor.
UPDATED TO ADD: Entries are now closed. Juliann is making her decision, and I’ll notify the winner soon. Thanks for all your great suggestions, everyone!
Hi, Sister Diane. How 'bout Creativity Cares or Crafters Care? Happy Thanksgiving!
Mindy
Thanks, Mindy – both good ones!
Chronically Crafty?
Chronically Caring
or
Chronically Caring Crafters
Create to care
Chronically Caring, or Chronically Caring Crafters?
Neither, upon a brief google search, appear to be taken.
I have a thing for alliteration, too :)
BTW, thank you so very much for saying international entrants are allowed. It's so FRUSTRATING to want to enter a competition and discover that once again it's barred to non-US or non-US/CA/UK peoples! Yay Craftypod!
(Tried to post this before but it disappeared – hope I didn't just repeat myself)
Chronic Crafting: You Don't Have to Get Over It.
CRAFTS: Charity Relief Assistance (of) Free Time Supplies
SICK: Supplies, Items (for) Crafting Kindness
Crafts for the Chronic Community
You may not care for these, but maybe they will help spark a new idea.
Crafts Aid? Crafts Relief? Crafting for Relief? Crafting times of Relief? Crafty Relief? (sorry if any of it sounds weird to natively english-speaking people!).
Crafting for the Chronic (both the crafters and those who are ill)
or Chronic Together: Crafting for those with Long-Term Illness. Something like that? They can't stop being ill, crafters can't stop crafting…will keep thinking.
Crafting Just be-cause.
Slight variation on the previous: “Chronically Crafty”.
I like the slight ambiguity on the meaning of “crafty” :)
Paresthesia
(medical term for pins & needles)
The Sick Chick & Friends Craft for Causes
The Sick Chick & Friends Craft for Chronic Illness
Crafting for Chronic Illness
Crafts for Chronic Illness
Coping Through Crafts
Coping Through Crafting
Caring and Coping Through Crafts
Creative Comfort for Chronic Illness
Crafting to Help the Chronically Ill
Crafters Helping the Chronically Ill
Crafting to Comfort the Chronically Ill
Crafters Comforting the Chronically Ill
Crafty Comfort for the Chronically Ill
Crafts & Comfort for the Chronically Ill
Crafts Comforting the Chronically Ill
Caring Through Crafts for the Chronically Ill
Creatively Comforting the Chronically Ill
“The Chronically Ill” could be replaced with:
Chronically Ill People
Chronically Ill Adults
Those with Chronic Illness
People with Chronic Illness
Adults with Chronic Illness
How about Crafting Just Be-Cause.
How about “Creativity Cares Project” = “CCP” ?
Or maybe “The Creative Hearts Project” ??
Love your project . . .Keep up the great work!
CraftyStripers (ala Candystripers)
or CraftyCares
Compassionate Crafting
How about care to craft
LOL! Obscure, but I love it :)
I didn't read all the other answers, but how about Chronic Crafting … short and simple. And I don't think chroniccrafting.com is taken :)
the book looks great!
dot
What about The Careful Crafters, or Crafting-Well, Crafting for Wellness. Creating-Wellness, or Creating for a Cause (might be to close to the name thats taken already?).
Crafting for Good
How about Craft for a Change or Craft for Life!
What yarntomato said.
Just kidding. I haven't read every entry, but I do have to say this is a wonderful thing.
The Sick Chick Crafts Wellness
or, The Sick Chick Crafts for Good.
that's probably taken…
Great-sounding book! “Chronically Creative”?
I have a totally great one! I've been listening to the pod cast about crafting and chronic illness and this name just occurred to me:
Hope is Handmade
Anyway, the name makes me happy, haha.
Alternatively, you could go with Happiness is Handmade.
It works the other way around too: Creatively Chronic!
I'm having lots of fun with this :)

How about a name like the Healing Arts, or Crafts for Life. I was thinking the name should somehow evoke the healing or life affirming aspects of creating. I know that when I was suffering with my hyper-active thyroid gland and the months of misery as I waited for the treatment to bring some relief to my symptoms that crafting gave me purpose and hope and helped me cope. This is great idea from the Sick Chick. Crafting Hope, maybe?
I like that! Yep, this really is fun.
The name Helping Hands came to mind, but I guess I've heard it elsewhere here in Sweden: http://www.helpinghands.org.se/
Maybe then…
Material Wealth/Health or something along those lines, as it is material being given… Maybe Crafty Material For Health? :-)
Xoxo to both Juliann and Diane!

doh! that's what I was gonna say!
Chronically Crafty- where the chronically ill meets chronic good will.
The “Crafting for Causes” name seems like a misnomer anyways. As I understand it, the idea isn't for people to do crafts to support people who are sick, but to give craft supplies to sick people so that they can do crafts themselves. If that's not right, please set me straight. But in the event that it's right, my suggestion is: “Crafting Towards Wellness”
-Crafting Dignity
-Craft Tonic for the Chronic
-Care and Share the Craft
Actually, it's both: to craft things to support people with illness & show that people care AND to give craft supplies to sick people. The latter is less important actually, although in many ways easier timewise.
Ohhh, I adore “Crafting Dignity”! Good on you!
Crafty Coping
Artfully Generous (or Generously Artful?)
Creative Tonics
Crafty Tonics
My brain wants to use the word “Lavish” in here somewhere but I can't make it fit :(
