Arthur and Nancy

This is Arthur and Nancy.

They're firm friends, so they're very happy to be travelling together all the way up north to join the rest of the Hope Softies.

I hope they have a safe trip!

A half starter.... and spreading some Hope

I seem to be having some attention deficit problems at the moment. I'm blaming the increased steroids.

I keep starting new crafty projects. I started five separate things on Sunday afternoon. I'm yet to finish any of them. What on earth was I thinking?


The ideas just keep swirling around in my brain. Getting those ideas into action is a completely different story.

In the meantime, I do, at least, have two nearly finished Hope Softies.

It's just a tiny little drop in the ocean, but it might make someone smile after the last horrendous week.

If you think that you could also make a softie, pop on over to see Steph at Mon Petit Poppet and sign up here. If you're looking for a free pattern to use, Fuzzy Bear can be found over on my tutorials page.

It was also announced yesterday that the Red Cross has launched an appeal for the thousands of people currently affected by the Victorian Floods. If you can help, you can make a donation here.
