I was going to post this picture of the crafty bonanza checking out the weather conditions, halfway through Saturday afternoon. Meercats and all that. But it's hard to laugh. It's such a beautiful country here, and harsh, and home to many.Several crafty ladies have posted about what you can do to help. Rather than repeating what they say, if you don't already know where your donation will go and what it will be, here are some links and information.
Now, they need money and blood donations - later, they'll want all the things that people will need, who've lost everything. I'll be stitching some donations for later, and popping down to the bank to donate for now.
Donate to the Red Cross: http://www.redcross.org.au
Donate to The Salvation Army Disaster Relief fund by calling 13 Salvos (137258) or at http://www.salvos.org.au. Monetary donations are preferred.
Just a few links:

I'm doing the same. Giving money and blood now and giving other things later when the time is right. It's so bloody overwhelming.
It's so sad that we were having fun sitting in the nice air conditioning and we had no idea what was happening elsewhere.
It really is a great photo though.
I'm having a sewing bee on Saturday if you want to come to my studio... let me know if you'd like to come.
