ClaraBear Benefit

Hi Everyone.
We will be organizing a fund raiser on etsy for Clara.
She is a little baby in our community that is very sick and needs more surgery.
She is just the sweetest little baby!
Here is the blog so you can learn a little more about Clara.

I asked Amanda who is in charge of the blog if we could hold an etsy wide sale with a portion of our proceeds going to the ClaraBear Fund and her answer is below.

I would love to have more Etsy shops participate!
There are 4 of us so far
http://carersattic.etsy.com 30%
http://craftsbycarer.etsy.com 30%
http://paulyspalette.etsy.com 30%
http://princessgracebow.etsy.com 30%

I will hold a drawing of all participating shops.
At least 2 but maybe more depending on how many shops we get to sign up will get their shop name in the Ad I will place this November in our Local Free Paper that goes out to THOUSANDS of households and stores
.
So leave me a message here or convo me on Etsy @ http://craftsbycarer.etsy.com if you would like to participate.

The amount you donate back to the Fund is up to you but please do at least 10% if not more.
The fundraiser will start next week.

I will be advertising all participating shops on twitter, FB, kaboodle and where ever else I can!

Thank you all.
Carrie

I'm touched at your generosity! We would love to have more help!
We do have a Paypal donate button on the blog. That was the very first thing we set up. :)
If there any info you need from me to help with the etsy benefit? If you have a list of participating vendors, I'll make sure to get all of thier websites ont he blog and Facebook page. We can blast an email out to our supporters as well.

Crazy Morning Crazy Fox

Wow what a crazy morning.
I opened the door to let Demon out and the noise I heard was not pretty.
He was on his leash thankfully and Honey had not made it out the door yet.
There was this loud screeching going on and then he picked something up and shook it and dropped it.
I thought maybe it was a possum then maybe a cat but on closer look it was a baby fox.
It was making all kinds of racket.
Demon didn't know what to do!
I was screaming for help since I had to hold Honey back and somehow get Demon in.
Pauly came to the rescue.
He helped to hold Honey and pull Demon in the door.
We got him in just in the nick of time because running up my sidewalk was Mama Fox and she was none to happy!
She grabbed her baby and ran down the sidewalk and dropped him and then came charging back at my front door where we were all watching her.
She would have torn poor Demon apart if he was outside.
Why she put her babes under the chair on my front porch while she moved them is beyond me. The porch light was on too...she must have thought they would be safe there but she must have smelled the dogs that live here.
Thankfully Demon only kills snakes and thinks all other animals are his pets to play with.
Honey would have killed it in a second if she had made it out the door.
Wish I had my camera to take a picture of Mama Fox with her baby in her mouth.
Not something you see close up every day.
So now that my poor foot with my broken toe has been trampled by Siberian Husky's I am going to be iceing it all day again today.
So much for getting down the steps to do some sewing!
I have a cute baby quilt in the making sitting down there calling my name
I can hear it calling me to sew lol.
Oh well there is always tomorrow.

Doll

I am working on a custom doll pattern and I am stuck on the head lol.
The body is great so far.
Have to figure out how to add the pony tails.
So I am thinking and drawing and thinking some more.
Guess I should just stop thinking about it for a while and then maybe it will come to me.
