My LYS told me about this blog site that is helping the people in the bush fires in Victoria. I have been looking this morning and it is a great site. Please go and have a look there probably is something you can help with even if you thought there wasn't.It has a lot of things that need putting together for the people there, it has a place to donate money if you wish, donate recipes, donate craft items. Thank you to the people who put this site together you are wonderful.
Here is the site http://www.handmadehelpsout.blogspot.com/ now quickly go and have a lot.
Our Tribe a group of knitters/crafters got together a few years back and did some knitting swaps, we have stayed in touch via our blogs, emails etc over the years. One of our tribe is from the bush fire area and lost her husband, her dog and her home. She and her son are OK, they were away at the time of the fires. The fire went through their area at over 300ks an hour, no-one had time to save anything let alone themselves. As a tribe we are pulling together again for her and her family. This is the great thing about these blog community, they are worldwide, most we have never met in person and most we never will, but we always know we are there for each other, no matter what. And that is so special.
If you are allowed to day dream and most of us probably do alot. My daydream today was that I could have enough money to hire a large car and get the Australia members of Our Tribe together to drive down and help out our friend as her husband's workmates are closing their work place down for a day next week and going out to clear the 5 acres up for her, that will help with the re-build of everything for her. I do believe in dreams, and wish this one would come true. But in reality I don't have the money, but all our thoughts will be with them all next week and with our tribe friend and her family for ever.
