Craft Hope for Haiti

Please forgive me as I always tend to be late to the party on these things, but I didn't want to neglect to mention a wonderful Etsy store (you probably already know about), Craft Hope for Haiti. I clicked over to their site to read more about them and I was once again inspired and floored by the power of the internet. I know that people worldwide have been moved by the tragedy in Haiti, but the idea that 2 moms, working from home could raise over 20,000 dollars for Haiti in a matter of days, in an Etsy store, just amazes me. To me, it speaks to the amazing generosity and kindness of the crafting world.

Please take a look at their store and use your crafty dollars to help those in Haiti that are hurting.

Gorgeous stitch sampler

Stitched by Lisa's Tea Time

I just love the amazing variety of lines, colors, and textures on this. I'm also really impressed when people embroider anything freehand on Aida cloth - for some reason I find the large weave intimidating for freehand work... Bravo, Lisa!

Taking over the universe can make you very thirsty! Thanks to Mama Sass for making me giggle today.

Silhouette

Love it! This proves that a minimum of lines and just one color can be quite impressive.

Embroidered boots

Stitched by Veronica TM

Isn't this a great idea? I'm also loving these embroidered boots, too. I see lots of sad winter boots when I'm riding the subway this frigid winter, and a little pop of color like this would make me really happy. Bravo Veronica! :)

Have you embroidered your boots? Be sure to add a picture in the Embroidery pool!

Anyone else feel like an elephant after all the holiday eating? Well, maybe embroidering this cute little guy will help take your mind off the 10 workouts you have planned... Stitched from a free pattern by Quack the Wooleyduck.
