Morning all,
Just a quick post, we had a cool change and easterly winds come in yesterday and is it very pleasantly cool here today, so if I get all my paper work and other jobs done today, hopefully I will get some time out in my heat exhausted garden, but I have a garden
The response to the care packages/sanity savers is wonderful and Ihope all you lovely people out there will continue to respond. I have a feeling that I am gaining the most out of this, as I am sure I am making some wonderful, beautiful friends out there in blogland, really looking forward to this.
Just a little housekeeping, there have been some emails coming through with noreplycomment, so I have been unable to reply, so please could you make sure that you put your email address on your email to me, much appreciated., thanks.
Rachel in Belguim could you please email me again.
Once again what a wonderful world this bloggy world is and thank you all,
Love Lorraine

CRAFTY PARCELS, CONT'D FROM YESTERDAY
Morning all,
We have been inundated (sp, correct word?) with smoke from the bushfires, so I can only imagine how bad it is in Vic.
Further to my post yesterday, here is a list of some of the items that I am sure these ladies would appreciate. Remembering that there are 181 deaths, with many more to be notified, losses of upwards of 800 homes, many businesses, schools, shops, churches, etc and other infractstructure such as electiricty, phones, gas etc. a mamoth and long job of replacing fising etc this will take years.
Thanking you all in advance for you help and loving gestures to these people.
Please email me for my address, or just send the parcel to Lorraine Hunt c/- Parkes Post Office,NSW 2870
Love and Hugs
Lorraine

needles,
pins,
scissors,
cutters,
mats (maybe a bit difficult)
fabrics, fat 1/4's etc
wadding
pellons
quilters muslin - for quilts and embroidery
embroidery threads etc
sewing cottons etc
patterns
books
other notions
quilting/craft magazines
" " books
knitting needles
crochet hooks
wool
cotton
other craft supplies for eg scrapbooking, stamping etc
garden books/magazines
seeds, but these won't be needed for a while.
Just a list that I thought of, but please send whatever you can
Cheers

CRAFTY PARCELS FOR VIC BUSHFIRE WOMEN
Hello , I have been missing in action for a long time, or maybe just plain lazy at posting posts.
However, with the terrible events of the bushfires happening in Victoria over the past few days, I have been moved to do something constructive, (as well as donating cash to the Red Cross), so I have come up with the idea that, we bloggers, who are involed/do/ love crafts, gardening etc, could all get together and donate goods so that the many quilters, crafters. gardeners etc, will have some of lifes little goodies so that they can have some crafty therapy.
As we all know these wonderful people who have suffered so much over this period of time and who will continue to have a difficult time of it for a long while to come, the last thing that they will be buying will be the supplies to give themselves some crafty therapy, which can also be soul and mind therapy as well.
I have already contacted Tracy, ozquiltingmum.blogspot wo see if she and maybe some other people that she knows will be our Vic contact liasion person/people.
I will be quite happy to have the goods sent to me and I will forward them on (hoping that some local transport co. will take same, as they have already announced that they will take clothing etc.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are able to help in any way, remembering that these people have lost everything, and that women/mothers will put their families needs before their own, so we will be able to provide these "sanity savers" .
Please do not hesitate to contact me, my email is: maunderscorepabarneyathotmaildotcom.
Cheers and Hugs,
Lorraine
