This is what the relief packages look like now.

The yellow ribbon that all the parcels are wrapped in, represent the bush fire victims, just like a pink ribbon represents breast cancer.
Below is a group shot.
Feminine scent's, moisturiser and deodorant wrapped in a lovely soft cotton face cloth.
Luxury soaps, again wrapped in a lovely soft cotton face cloth.
Deodorant's for the men too.
And a little bit for baby, baby powder and nappy change lotion packs.

I just may be able to source some more goodies before they are sent off. A special thank you to those who have helped me with supplies and the making of some cloths too.

My New Betty Boop Figurine

She's very cute and very blue, a gift from one of my daughters. But I really wanted to show you some progress shots of the collection of face cloths that are coming along. 11 of them are pictured below, whilst more are being made. The one's on the left were made by Shilo from Ravelry. Thanks for your assistance Shilo, much appreciated!betty boop figurine along side crochet face cloths
This is a lovely shiny pink cotton, supplied from Happy Peacock, another member from Ravelry. Thank you Happy Peacock! The pink cotton is making lovely face cloths.

Same Pattern Different Look, But Why?

I just made my second Tunisian short row dish cloth, pattern link is here, I find them to be one of the best dish cloths to use, so durable.
The 3 below are made from the same pattern, but if you look closely you will see a difference with one of the dish cloths, one difference being the middle one was not made by me, but why is it so different when the exact same pattern was used and they are all face up?



Rachel from HGTV kindly supplied me with the middle picture of her dish cloth and pointed out the obvious difference to me and why it was so.

It's quite simply that I am a righty and she is a lefty, so the pattern turns in the opposite direction. How about that? I found it quite interesting. How's this one though, Rachel would drive on the right hand side of the road, whilst I drive on the left hand side of the road. US versus AU.
