Softies for Mirabel! Hurrah! Thank you to everyone who has sent us a toy! You guys are rad! Thank you to everyone who wanted to send a toy but did not quite make it… you are rad too! Please come and take a peek at our window if you are in Melbourne…. it will be up for only one week and then the toys will head off to The Mirabel Foundation to be distributed to the kids they support.
It’s not too late to join in! Just drop a toy off at the store : or mail it to The Mirabel Foundation

There is a Flickr group for all the softies that have been sent in over the last four years : the photos are over here.
Thanks to the people who had crafternoons, and to the school groups and office crafting groups who were part of this too. I really love it that people are not only crafting solo, but they are crafting together. NICE!
Mirabel are also holding 250 EXTRA toys that were donated last month by TWO generous crafters. Here are some of them….! How cool are some people?! Totally great and hard working! Thank you SO SO SO much for all your efforts. You are amazing.
I think our count will be around 500 this year… so thank you SO MUCH for helping! Make sure you tell your friends about this…. and if you can’t make a toy before Christmas, then get started after for NEXT YEAR’s BUMPER APPEAL!
I think we will have an exhibition next year… I do!
