........and there's another
Oh look...... a kitty, a couple of giraffes and tiny teddies too..........
They're all pretty excited, they're off on a journey today to join lots of other softies on the Victorian Variety Bash, a motoring event that raises money to support children in need. This year they're driving from Melbourne, Victoria to Fraser Island in Queensland. The toys will be given out along the way by Car 152. This group is one of the charities that are being supported this month through the on-line group Knit4Charities, which I belong to. It donates to a variety of charities Australia wide, and members nominate their favourite charities, which are then placed on a yearly calendar. Each month there's usually 2 or 3 charities for us to choose from to support. If you like to knit, crochet and /or sew, pop along and have a look at the website. There's no obligation to make anything, and no minimum number of items to be sent.....that one beanie, toy or scarf will keep someone warm or bring joy to a child.
........till next time.
They are so cute. I'm sure little kids will love them.
ReplyDeleteThey were fun to make and a bit hard to part with too.
DeleteLove that pink bear, he's so cheerful he's bound to make a wonderful gift for some small person. Love your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate. He's pretty cute and looks so cheeky peeking through the window. I'm really pleased with these bears and the kitty, they're my own patterns I've drawn and tweaked....and tweaked again. It's good to have a design for charity giving that works up quickly and easily, suits a variety of fabrics and can be given different looks.
