A new sewing shop in Springwood called 'Sew Beautiful' is organising a handmade toy collection for the victims of the recent Queensland floods. What a great idea! I thought these dinosaurs would be perfect. The pattern is from 'One Yard Wonders' by Rebecca Yaker and Patricia Haskins.
Of course my boys love them and want to keep them- perfect opportunity to talk to them about those less fortunate than ourselves. We have so much and take so much for granted. It is so hard for them (and me) to imagine losing everything.
To Jonah, Luke and Gabriella, be grateful for what you have and be generous to others because all our earthly treasures will fade away and are worthless compared to the everlasting peace that comes from knowing God.
So here they are. The kids and I hope they will bring big smiles to little faces.
If you would like to take part, make and donate your handmade toys to:
'Sew Cuddly'
c/o- Sew Beautiful
1/121 Macquarie Road
Springwood NSW 2777
Brilliant as always!
