If you haven't lately, you really need to run right over to Craft Hope's site. A spirit-filled few days of wonderful community just happened there. In just three short days, the brand-new Craft Hope Etsy shop sold over 550 donated craft items, raising over $10,000 dollars for Haiti and Doctors without Borders! Truly amazing. They are regrouping for a little while to figure out how not to be victims of their own success. They will begin accepting handmade donations again in about two weeks.
Just read that Rebecca Sower has also set up an Etsy shop, Haiti by Hand, and is asking for handmade items to fill it.
I'm working on items for Etsy and a local children's shop. Valentine decorations and remade teddy bears in felted sweater clothes and little pinafores. It was so much fun making these sweetie pie bears and their sock monkey buddy.
I love making baby jingle balls...
and red Mary Jane shoes. Can you tell?
I think this miss in the green sweater needs some Mary Jane's too. And I need to go find the floor in my workroom. It looks like someone threw a party in there, must have been these guys. Whadya think? ~xoxKelly
Kelly, they're DARLING! Absolutely wonderful! Love the Mary Janes!...This is one of those times when I wish I could reach in the monitor to pick them up and look at them face to face! :)

How cute are those bears!!!! You could sell those puppies and see them fly out the store if you were so inclined. :) I'll check into the charity events and possibly participate.
