A Worrying Time

A big sigh of relief here

Our DS and Partner are trekking neighbouring the devastation that has occurred in Nepal.

Thanks to DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trades) after a worrisome time they are safe and well.  Doing more research today.

My Heart goes out to everyone involved....the loss of lives.....the uncertainty that abounds

Appeal For Sewing Kits For Queensland's Flood Victims...

As has been over the news the last days our gorgeous Sunshine State of Queensland is a disaster area with many towns flooded and cut off...lives taken...people missing...houses submerged...

The gals over at Gum Tree Designers have put out an appeal called 'New Beginnings' for Sewing Kits to be distributed to various Sewing Groups around the areas...

Sewing Kits called for are basic...

• a sewing caddy - hand made with needlebook and pincushion
• scissors with keep
• 6 embroidery threads
• needles
• a fat quarter

I will be putting together a kit similar to this one and sending it on...

I'm sure any donation will be gratefully accepted so that the crafters can have some stitching to do when they are ready as no doubt all their supplies of their beloved hobby will have been destroyed...

For more information about this appeal visit The Gum Tree Designers over here...

Kits will be put together on 1st February ready to distribute...
