An interruption

I know that I don't have to point out to people the various ways they can help the people of Haiti. As usual people across blogland are doing what they can to help, be that by monetary donations, or by raising awareness.



But I thought I might share with you the work of Craft Hope . Craft hope have an Etsy shop where they are selling handmade items , donated by all sorts of crafters and artists. 100% of proceeeds will be going to Doctors without Borders.

You might want to pop over and take a look, buy an item or even make an item donation yourself.

Little Miss Lucy, pictured above has been offered and I expect she will make her way into the shop as Crafthope process all the donations. is in the shop now and even though the listing says post to US I am happy to post anywhere at all....

  1. Miss Lucy is darling, and what a nice thing to do, Jodie. So far I've just sent a $$ donation, but a craft donation sounds like a great idea. Miss Lucy will be glad to get out of the heat in that warm coat and scarf! :>}

  8. Miss Lucy is such a sweetie, and you are such a generous soul, Jodie. She's not on the site now so I guess she has gone to a new good home; lucky new owners!

  10. She is just adorable and I see already to make her way to a new home. My little blankie was gone in just a few hours and I am heading out into the rain to the post office right now. I think that this is the perfect way to show that craft really can make a difference and the Anne Frank quote that Jade used on the Craft Hope website was so fitting!

  22. I was thinking last night that if I find the lovely doll I 'misplaced' after the Market that I would give her to Craft Hope, but will I ever find her? In the meantime I'll pop over and check out the link(s), thanks Jodie xo
