the weeks end

This week has felt a little surreal.  I (like most of New Zealand I imagine), feel as though I have been moving in slow motion.  All thought and conversation has centred around Christchurch and the Earthquake, and we have been glued to the television in disbelief...

We have a few family birthdays this week and it feels strange to think about celebrating when there is clearly so much suffering going on. But I guess, if anything, this weeks horror makes you aware how important it is to enjoy every moment!

To show my support, I will be donating the proceeds from all sales in my Felt shop this week to the 2011 Red Cross Earthquake Appeal.

Yesterday, around lunchtime, New Zealand suffered one of its worst natural disasters, as Christchurch was rocked by yet another huge earthquake. This time, the devastation was so much more horrific.

A huge search and rescue mission is currently taking place, and whilst there has been so much tragedy, I'd like to think there is still a lot of hope... If you would like to make a donation to the Canterbury Earthquake Appeal, there are various options here. Alternatively, if you would like to help in other ways, there is a bit of info here.

Kia Kaha Christchurch, our thoughts are with you all. xx
