Aunty Cookie PANDA Hampers

The ever inspiring Shannon Lamden has been collecting craft donations to make up hampers which will be auctioned to raise funds for PANDA.You can read about it here and see the pics here. They all look so lovely!

This one has a pram quilt I made with my own two little hands.

PANDA is such an important charity, helping families who find themselves vulnerable and in desperate need of support. I’ve wanted to do something ongoing to support them for some time now. This has been a very inspirational kick up the bum to do that.

Thanks to Shannon for the enormous and fabulous effort and for the opportunity to contribute!

Craft Relief- Donations Delivered.

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.

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.

First donations.

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.
