Friends, my heart hurts. I know that may seem like hyperbole, but it's true. In addition to the bushfires raging across Australia (which is upsetting enough), last weekend, one of our dear family friends passed away unexpectedly. Since finding out, I have been just completely overwhelmed with grief and a feeling of helplessness. It has been a really hard week. But what has really lifted my spirits is all of you! There has been such a great response to my bushfire relief pin! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Being able to help the recovering animals in Australia is an amazing feeling. Let's keep it going, shall we? I'd really appreciate any signal boosting you can give this project! You're welcome to share this post, the original post (my last post that has the same graphic in the second slide here), or the actual preorder listing (link in bio). ••• Pictured is an adorable wallaby my friend and I met at a zoo/wildlife park during our semester in Australia. Yes, that's my arm! This fella was so sweet... I swear he wanted to come home with us! I'd like to think he's doing well and is untouched by the fires. Australia is near & dear to my heart. I spent a semester in Australia during my undergraduate studies and fell in love with the country and all its wildlife. It breaks my heart to know that so much of the country is suffering from the bushfires. I had been wondering what I could do to help when I stumbled across the Animal Rescue Collective Craft Guild (ARCCG) on Facebook. They had a post with what they were requesting from crafters to help the rescued animals: joey pouches, bird nests, bat wraps, and more. And I thought, “Yes! I can do this! I have yarn – I can do something!” From there I found the American Rescue Crafters Connect group (the group based in the US to organize efforts over here) and started crocheting some nests. But another idea began formulating. I’ve been planning on designing enamel pins and have always wanted a portion of the profits to go to charity. Well, designing a pin to help the animals in Australia seemed like another way I could help. So I created this enamel pin depicting a kangaroo joey in a knitted pouch. The ARCCG is requesting monetary donations for supplies and distribution so carers receive the items they need to give the animals a fighting chance. Therefore, I will be donating 50% of profits from the sale of this enamel pin to them! I really appreciate any support you can give this group and my enamel pin design. Tldr; this is a preorder of a 1.5" kangaroo joey hard enamel pin with black nickel finish. 50% of profits go to @animalrescuecraftguild. Link in bio for preorder! With 2019 coming to a close today, I thought I'd join the party and share my top 9! Thanks for all the likes this year... there were over 5k! I have lots in store for 2020, so I hope y'all like what's coming even more! Have a safe & happy new year! 🎉 I shared this photo in my Stories on Monday, but thought she deserved her own post! This is my Samoa wrapped in my Walden shawl! Frankly, I'm shocked she let me put the shawl on her... AND sat still for a photo! Usually any time I open the camera app on my phone, she's off! She wants NOTHING to do with having her picture taken. Now that I know she doesn't mind clothes, I'm really tempted to make her a little Santa hat or something! Anyone know of a good doggie hat pattern?
