Craft Relief- Donations Delivered.

Posted under Craft Relief, Customer Creations, Flickr, Shop 1 Comment

Last weekend the whole family drove up to Whittlesea to deliver the wonderful donations from Craft Relief. The Salvation Army have a huge tent set up at the showgrounds where they are accepting material donations.

Whittlesea is about a 5 minute drive from Kinglake West. At the centre, once registered, you can go and acquire the things you need to get your life back together. It was the perfect place for us to drop our goodies!

  

The wonderful volunteers at the Salvos were so appreciative of all of your creative hard work that they assured me they would keep them at the centre to hand out as needed, directly to the people who need them the most.

I think you guys are the best! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.

Saving the best for last.

Posted under Craft Relief, Customer Creations, Shop No Comments

Here are the last few donations to blog about.

I just want to thank everyone who has sent something in- I am touched by the enoromous generosity of the wonderful people who visit my shop and read the blog. You guys are the best!

The vouchers have gone out by either email or post (if I don’t have your email address). So if you are receiving yours by mail, expect them in the next day or two. We’ll send out a newsletter and a blog in the next week when we deliver the goodies.

 

*** Edited: Just added the last two pics- they’re of a gorgeous handmade quilt I received from Lyn in W.A. Amazing handwork. An incredibly generous donation. Thank you.

We have already received our first donations for Craft Relief. Thank you so much to Rosalinda and Trish for the beautiful mink-y bunny rug and the oh so sweet crochet softie. There’s also my second “Ruby” dolly pushing her way into the frame.

Thank you ladies.

Craft Relief- Ruby.

Posted under General No Comments

This is my first softie for Craft Relief. Made from a wonderful free pattern from the generous Jhoanna of One Red Robin. I’m working on a redhead version now. It feels good to just DO something.

Craft Relief.

Help the Fire Victims start a new family history.

I think we have all had a really personal response to the Victorian Bush Fire Disaster and feel we would like to do something. I know all the financial support may be the single most important thing that goes towards rebuilding these devestated communities, but I thought that an arm load of softies and quilts might not go astray either.

These people have lost everything. Donating “new heirlooms”- crafty items, handmade with love to help them start a new family history.

Any of my talented customers, readers and fellow bloggers who would like to donate handmade items to the victims of the Victorian bush fires can send to:

Craft Relief,
c/o Belsize Square
PO Box 2311
Hawthorn Vic 3122

I will co-ordinate these donations as part of the Victorian Disaster Relief, mounted by St Vincent de Paul.

To encourage your creativity every person that donates a crafty item before the end of February will receive a $20 gift voucher. This can be used on anything you like instore and of course, you don’t need to have shopped with us before.

We’ll take photos of all of the items we receive and post them on the blog. I look forward to your support.

A heartfelt way to throw our arms around those left in dire need and give them a big hug.

Thanks for your support.
