To be honest, it seems wrong to be writing about anything here that is not related to the Christchurch earthquake that happened one week ago today. There are still people missing, and bodies are being discovered and identified gradually, day by day. Many people still have no electricity or water, while others are homeless. The victims of the earthquake came from all over the world- Chch was an international city. It's truly heartbreaking- every bit of it.
Sometimes though, a bit of crafting can be therapeutic. Arlo and I got up earlier than usual this morning, and found ourselves carving some more stamps at the kitchen table- like those I made last week. We used the stamps to decorate some kraft paper for wrapping presents, and a stack of plain labels which we turned into stickers (some are painted, some are stamped.) Shown above is a gift I made for my Mum- (it was her birthday yesterday)- a case sewn from cotton lawn, containing vintage crochet threads.
Hope you are doing well, wherever you are.
