11/9/2010 0 Comments Christchurch... updateWell, first of all, the good news as far as the family is concerned - no one was physically hurt, and the damage to our family's buildings and property was minimal - lots of wonky chimneys. By now, though, the endless aftershocks are wearing people out, the kids are terrified and the adults are frazzled. And there's still a lot of work to be done. I'm proud to be connected to the students who have been helping with the clean-ups, donating their time to help those who can't do it all themselves. As I'm not trained in civil defence work, like my brave friend Nat who has just been deployed to CHCH, but I want to help out, I have become involved in the fabulous Felt... like helping out crafters aid movement. We are donating crafted goods to raise funds for the Christchurch Earthquake relief fund. Even though it may only seem like a drop in the bucket, still we are glad and proud to be doing our part from all over NZ. Please visit the Felt shop and the Facebook page if you would like to know more, and spread the word! Apart from helping load the contributions of others, which I will be doing today, I have been working on something myself, too. I am donating a couple of pairs of beaded earrings from my old range and will see if I can sell some at work too. I have also been inspired to create a piece of art related to the quake: As you may have noticed, several of these pics contain a cat in the background. Well, what cat wouldn't want to be right in the middle of whatever you're doing? And Shasha makes such a great model... These are the items that I will be donating, and you can find them at the Felt Aid store here. They are: A double-bailed pendant A boxed set of earrings and pendant on ball chain A large square ring A medium oval ring (Kitty not included, sorry) Check out my Felt store for the rest of the range. And thanks for reading!
