The dust may have settled in Christchurch, but the pain and loss is still palpable... While Australians have been very hands-on in aiding our <span style="color: #a64d79;">kiwi family</span> across the ditch, it's been so inspiring to see people from all over the world reach out to the people of New Zealand and help in any way they can. <br />
<br />
But we can always do more. <br />
<br />
A band of mums and handmade aficionados based in New Zealand have come together to run a series of auctions to raise funds for Christchurch - <a href="http://www.facebook.com/handmadeforchristchurch">Handmade for Christchurch</a>.<br />
<br />
"When we heard about the Christchurch earthquake <span style="color: #a64d79;">our hearts sank</span> and we all felt so helpless. A couple of our group are from the area and we sat there for hours waiting and waiting to hear if our friends were ok," says mum Roslyn Henley. <br />
<br />
"In that time we all chatted and thought of someway that we could help to give a little as we could not leave our families and go and help with the clean up."<br />
<br />
The group decided that, as they are all crafters, they would <span style="color: #a64d79;">create a group which helped raise money</span> for those affected by the earthquake. <br />
<br />
"In the last 24 hours since the group has started, we have received many many responses from people who are willing to take some time out of their busy life to create something for a donation for us to Auction off on Trade Me," says Roslyn.<br />
<br />
"As time goes on, the donations are increasing and we would love to be able to raise as much as we can."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong>Can you spare an hour or two to create something handmade for this wonderful cause?</strong></span> Join the facebook page now...<br />

...and spread the word far and wide. Auctions will start from this Sunday night.<br />
<br />
For <span style="color: #a64d79;">direct handmade donations </span>please email: handmade.for.christchurch@gmail.com<br />

Remember, <span style="color: #a64d79;">every little bit counts</span> and all money raised will be split between the Christchurch Womans Refuge and The Salvation Army.<br />

Thanks to their amazing and generous designers, when you shop at <a href="http://www.handmademarket.com.au/shophandmadecanberra.html">Shop Handmade</a> during January, 10% of a large range of wares will go to the <a href="http://www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html">Queensland Flood Relief Appeal</a>. <br />
<br />
Not only that, the enormously generous owners Julie and Rachel will match, dollar-for-dollar, the donated designer amount, and donate the same amout to the appeal.<br />
<br />
Your shopping dollar has always gone 100% to designers at Shop Handmade - and now it will go even further, to aid our friends in Queensland, whose lives have been absolutely devastated by the floods.<br />
<br />
Come in to Shop and show your support now - or send a local friend in to snaffle some goodies on your behalf. There's never been a greater time to shop at Shop Handmade.<br />

Talk about a wonderful way to wind up a massive weekend of <a href="http://www.handmademarket.com.au/bookorders.html">handmade living</a> book launch events... <br />
<br />
Illustrator, graphic designer and major contributor <a href="http://www.tinyconcept.com.au/">Tina Snerling</a> and author Tania McCartney spent an hour at <a href="http://www.paperchainbookstore.com.au/PaperchainBookstore/">Paperchain bookstore</a> in Manuka, Canberra, for a relaxed and totally lovely book signing, along with the gorgeous Anthea Cahill from <a href="http://www.realchai.com.au/">RealChai</a>.<br />
<br />
We were really in giggle mode and just spent the whole time laughing and chatting and sipping tea with several customers. It was such a lovely experience and so fantastic to share the book with yet more enthusiastic readers and handmade aficionados. Thanks, Paperchain!<br />

What a gorgeous morning we had on Sunday at <a href="http://daltons.com.au/Daltons/">Dalton's bookstore</a> in Canberra City - a luscious and whimsical high tea for 40 people amongst garden-plucked blossoms and the most gorgeous circle of designers, showcasing their wares on tables for our guests to come and peruse. What better way to celebrate the release of <a href="http://www.handmademarket.com.au/bookorders.html">handmade living</a>?<br />
<br />
We also had Anthea from <a href="http://www.realchai.com.au/">RealChai</a> come along with some delectable chai tea sampling, and it was such a pleasure to mingle with talented designers from the book and meet some wonderful new guests who chatted and sipped and even took away some wonderful prizes, thanks to our designers.<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone for coming along! and thank you to the lovely Meredith of Dalton's for hosting us.<br />

Biggest. Market. Ever. What were we expecting? There's nothing that can keep punters away from the magic that is Handmade, not even lousy weather and mudpits underfoot.<br />
<br />
Saturday started out gloomy with spots of breaking sunshine and even a sliver of far distant blue sky, and - miraculously - the scattered rain that was forecast stayed away COMPLETELY until around 5pm with a teesy rain shower, before gathering up resources and crashing down around 6.30pm, when over 150 stallholders made a mad dash to pack up. What a day of virtually rain-free magic!<br />
<br />
But did the threat of rain stop the crowds? Oh no no no. I may have been permanently tied to the <em>handmade living</em> marquee, but the few times I did wander into the grounds, I could not even see for the people covering the grounds and pathways. Stallholders were manic, everyone was smiling, there was laughter, music, product flying off tables, there was even a line for the <em>handmade living</em> marquee on at least 20 occasions. It was absolutely magical.<br />
<br />
Louise Hall (<a href="http://canberrahandmademarket.blogspot.com/2010/12/win-signed-copy-of-handmade-living.html">Mrs Sew & So's</a> and book contributor) and I headed up the <em>handmade living</em> marquee, and, despite wearing gumboots and standing in a mud puddle for most of the day, had nonstop handmade living buyers all day. I think I quite literally sat down for two minutes in the space of 11 hours. <br />
<br />
I also lost count of the amount of compliments and raves about the book - it was such a thrill to hear, and the rest of the gals in the marquee had a ball signing copies of the book for both customers and other designers. So much fun!<br />
<br />
Interstate designers - you were well-represented! <br />

Chantelle Ellem of <a href="http://fatmumslim.blogspot.com/2010/12/handmade-living-book-tour.html">Fat Mum Slim</a> would have to be one of the loveliest people I've ever met online - and she has so kindly hosted <em>handmade living </em>on her hugely-popular blog - with a divine post on her own version of the brownie recipe by Heidi Ross of <a href="http://www.curiouschocolateshop.com.au/">The Curious Chocolatier</a>. You've got to check them out - Chantelle says they're the most beautiful brownies she's ever tasted. <br />
<br />
And I've also been grinning from ear to ear - I've inspired Chantelle with my children's singlet embellishment project!<br />
