My hands and the oil spill

As you know and are constantly hearing on the news, radio, and internet the oil spill situation is not getting any better. I didn't know to much about the details except that the little spot in texas where i live would not be affect to much. Phew, relief.

How ugly that is?
So unconcerned with the rest of the people dealing with this.
It would be like sending a card with "Sorry Suckas" signed with a heart.
When did that thinking become ok?

At dinner the other night Easton had some questions about the spill & why it was so bad. We showed him an example with oil and water. He was concerned for the animals and the people cleaning. Since that night i have been wondering if there is something we can do to help, besides send money, because at the age of 7 he doesn't have much.

As i was checking Ashley Ann's to look at the lovely baby shower ideas for like the 3rd time, i saw her new post. Now i had never heard of Craft for hope. I'll admit i thought "oh, Mother Earther's" Funny when i think about how "granola" it seems I've become lately.

I was wrong.

Here's something on the oil spill, and what you can do to help. Sew-ers ( i know it's no dash, but really isn't that sewer also?) can do this. Ashley went to the Dollar tree and bought clothes, but if you have rags laying around and a zig zag stitch you can do something.

Before you check out the project i encourage you to look at their other projects they've done.

Proj #1: Dresses for an orphanage in Brazil
Proj #2: Dolls for an orphanage in Nicaragua
Proj #3: Blanket, booties, and hats to orphans in India
Proj #4: Burn victims in Cali.

There's more for you to check out.

See not mother earther's. Ophans and my heart, no room here for that, post is too long already.

Here's what their about?

If you are like me with littles at home that won't fit in a back pack to go to these people, but you can sew something to send. Then what are you waiting for?
