lzilulu's stuff......

....feeling numb.......

the bushfire crisis in victoria is just getting worse and worse. i woke to the news of over 100 lives lost.....just doesn't seem real.....or fair....

i got to thinking (i do a LOT of that!!)....just what can i do to help....yep, i could become a volunteer health worker, if only i lived closer.....i could busy myself making a quilt, which would make ME feel a little better but really, it would probably just overload the already overwhelmed volunteer relief organizations and become a logistical nightmare to deliver them.......

so............ this is what i am going to do

• make a donation through the red cross (tick)
• gather a group of stitchers, collect some donations and hot foot the proceeds to our local anz bank branch (already organized...will use my regular thursday gathering in the shed for this one...)
• "pass the hat around" at work and hot foot the proceeds to the same anz branch
• challenge fellow bloggers to "do something" and share their ideas of how to help best......contact me (hit the email link under my profile photo) or leave a comment, by clicking on the comment button at the end of the post.......

....are you up for the challenge? hope so..........

...'til next time, take care, hug your loved ones and spare a little thought/prayer for those Aussies in such great need at the moment....

....another addiction....hmmmm

 

afternoon chickadees!

as i sit here in my airconditioned comfort, i am thinking of all the poor people affected by the horrific fires in victoria....my heart goes out to each and everyone......an updated report has just confirmed the loss of 50 lives....

last weekend i attended a cardmaking workshop, presented by this very talented young lady. today, with VERY limited resources i made a card.....and i think i may have stumbled across another addiction.....bummer!

don't look too closely at the photo......i am very aware that i cut the overlay a smidgen too small.........but i promise to try harder next time. this one needs to be in the post tomorrow....actually it should have been reaching its destination tomorrow but never mind......

.......the "ribbon tie" is actually a piece of selvage, rather apt for the recipient, who is a quilter......

thank you alana for sharing so much of your knowledge last week, i could easily have stayed for days.............

until next time, keep well and be kind to each other
