Stay tuned. . .

Amazing as it may seem, I actually spent a few hours in the studio yesterday. I won't get a chance to finish this set of beads today (my oxy concentrator still hates the heat), but come next weekend/early the following week, I may finally have a new set of beads up on FeeBay. Stay tuned. . .

Australian Bushfires. . .

You would have to be living on another planet not to have seen the effect of the Victorian bushfires. Very few things move me to donate money, but this is one of those things that has affected me more than I expected. So, I beg of you, no matter what country you are from, please consider donating a small amount to those who have been affected. We can bitch and moan about how difficult our lives are, but I can only imagine how horrific this situation is for those people who have lost everything. As a matter of fact, my best friend, Yvonne, has lost 3 family members in this tragedy. This really puts things into perspective.

Here's a few links for those of you who would like to contribute - the first is for donations to the Australian Red Cross, and the second is for donations to the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). As most of you would know, animals are a huge part of my life, and I think many of us often forget the effects of these disasters on both native and domestic animals.

Thanks a bunch - Sue xx
