New Beginnings






The girls from Among Gum Trees have Flood Appeal.... "New Beginnings" which is just wonderful... I have put my hand up to help it is something that your heart goes out to all the people that have lost so much... I have made a sewing caddy and scissor keeper and pincushion and put some sewing thing together... my daughter Natasha went shopping and got pins and needles and a quick unpick and said that she would add her little bits to help....
