This is Bonamanzi

one of the places we stayed at on our journey

we saw a lot and we learned a lot about the creatures

and about the history of the area.

On returning home and clicking back into Blogland I was

very interested to see that Sarah at Dolly Donation is having

a pause for a while,

but she recommended a new Dolly Drive through ….

the very area I had just visited!

Uthando is the Zulu word for Love,

although thousands and thousands have

already been made and distributed

they still need Thousands and Thousands more.

They have a fantastic  downloadable workbook

“How to make a doll”

with lots of ideas for hair, features and clothes.

I fully intend to get busy …..

But I got side tracked by another project …….

details coming soon!

Whatever you do this week, may you enjoy crafting something special.

TaDaa! just hanging about!

At last …..

my Jelly Roll Quilt is Finished!

here it is ….. just Hanging up ….

I really enjoyed this project from Konda at

http://moosequilts.blogspot.com/

it is all still on her blog if anyone was interested in having a go.

I didn’t do all of the blocks, but I did do more than one of some ….

the ones I liked to do the best!

Here it is all folded and ready for the bed …

Ah! I do like it :0) and Bella too xxxx

But my quilt isn’t the only thing Hanging around!

I can’t get enough of these …..

D E C O P A T C H!  Yeh!!

two new green DECOPATCH coat hangers ….. mmmmmm :0)

and last but not least …..

Alfredo and Bertina

awaiting their flight to Haiti :0

Come Fly with Me! …. Dolly Donations … and …

The time has come!

It is time to say “Goodbye Betina …. Goodbye Alfredo”

Here they are ….. on the first stage of their journey …..

to be posted …..

“well, are we going then – to the post office?”

(Bella is always ready for ANYTHING!)

“yes, in a minute!”

THEN on they go to California ….

from there they will be sent off to Haiti after the 1st November

to arrive …. ?  I don’t know when!

But I hope there are two friends there to love them

and that Betina and Alfredo ….. in the words of Jimmy Durante …..

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy;
Make just one heart the heart you sing to.
One smile that cheers you,
One face that lights when it nears you,

Make someone happy,
Make just one someone happy,
And you will be happy, too. …………….

That is just how I feel about Dolly Donations,

if Betina and Alfredo make just two someones happy ……

then I will be happy too!

I send a BIG THANKYOU to Sarah at Dolly Donations
