i have just spent a few horrible day's with no running water or flushing loo due to burst frozen pipes. it made me realise that we are so lucky to take these things for granted when so much of the world can't. the stress of it all has faded into insignificance on hearing and seeing the terrible disaster in haiti.
i am busy making some things to sell in
my shop (including wool felt jewelery and valentine's cards), for which i will donate a percentage of the sale so i can help in some small way (i hope to add them in a couple of days).
juliane is already doing this with her
beautiful doll hot water botttles, and
lena has listed other designer's wanting to help.
some things that have cheered me up lately, letters from
two very special little people, re learning to crochet again (and loving it!), beautiful roving wool colours, and watching
this and
this, both such amazing little videos.
i have just added a few thing's to my etsy shop to help donate towards oxfam's haiti earthquake appeal including a sweet little babushka doll. i will add more soon. the proceeds of this brooch will buy a hygiene kit for a family. i have also donated this little cotton onzie to craft hope's etsy shop.
