Greetings all,
A little announcement about an amazing new shop - it's HeadsUp @ Calvary Hosptial, Bruce ACT where ladies going through chemotherapy, their friends & family can make purchases of useful items such as head scarves, cushions & other handmade goodness. Most products are donated for maximum fundraising, such as these 2 bags of Posie badges, purses, hair clips, wool, pashminas, gift cards & 3 pairs of boobie knitting needles (how perfect for the cause!!)
A lovely cancer survivor mummy from school alerted me Sue Owen who is coordinating & volunteering in the store. I'll donate more as i get back into mass production sewing & markets shortly.

Handmade designers - if you have any products you'd like to donate, Sue would be eternally greatful. I'll pass on your details.

What a lovely idea. My sister used to work as a nurse in the paliative care ward at Calvary. How nice to be able to have handmade goodness in an otherwise pretty crappy situation. Nic xx
You are just to lovely:)
Give me a few months and I will put together a few beanies and scarves:)
I do love that little quilted jacket. Very sweet :)
