It's the middle of Summer here in my part of the world - I know it's hard to believe for my friends who are making snow angels and drinking hot chocolate right about now, anyway - it's hotter than hot
The kind of heat that make you run under the sprinkler to keep cool.
Sadly it's also the kind of heat that helps to fuel bushfires that destroy property and livelihoods, the picture below of the recent NSW fire was taken by my brother whilst flying from Melbourne to Goldcoast just a few days ago.
One image you may have seen on the ABC is of this family sheltering under a jetty near their home in Dunalley, south east Tasmania while smoke and fire filled the air around them. Terrifying.
I wanted to share with you a few events that are being held to raise money for those affected by the Tasmanian fires and Red Cross....because maybe we can make a difference to someone in need.
The Quilted Crow girls Leonie and Deirdre have put their heads together to create a special day called 'A Gathering of Goodness' - you can read all the details here - if you are in Tasmania call the girls and book in, the day is all about coming together as one..... you will have a wonderful time & the girls are so much fun!
The Handmade Library have arranged an auction to raise money for those effected by the
recent fires in Tasmania among some amazing products is the full
collection 32 x fat quarters of Woodland fabric donated by Cinderberry Stitches - no reserve, postage paid within Australia.
Auction begins tomorrow and ends on Monday - Please share with your
friends and let's try and raise as many $$ as we can for those who need
it most

One important change is to choose healthier monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and reduce the amount of saturated and trans fats you eat.

Este es el blog adecuado para cualquier persona que necesite buscar hacia fuera sobre este tema. Te das cuenta mucho su arduo virtualmente para discutir con usted (no es que yo realmente necesito ... jaja). Definitivamente poner un nuevo giro a un tema thats sido cosas escritas por años. Niza, simplemente genial!

Hi,
I am in Narrabri which is close to the Coonabarabran fire and watching that one closely. I will bid on the auction and hope that tons of money is raised.
Many thanks

What a couple of amazing photos, both from your brother and the one from under the jetty.
Hope the auction raises lots of money for everyone who has lost property or their livelihood through these disasters.
