So this past weekend I was at an event where a donation of a toy was requested for a well-known organization who collects such things for needy kids. I took the “Buy Handmade” pledge this year, and well, that means buy handmade, even for people I don’t know! Anyway, I took one of my recycled sweater snakes and got an odd reaction from the woman collecting. It was sort of an eye opener as to how far we have left to go, as it was clear that Bratz Dollz were a far more acceptable item.

Anyway, I discovered that Etsy has once again taken the lead on that, and there is a donation drive specifically requesting handmade toys.
a drive benefitting housingworks, which is the nations largest grassroots AIDS service organization in the United States. They are also the nation’s largest minority-controlled AIDS service organization. They help provide shelter, advocacy, financial and legal assistance to those in need.

Follow the link and you can send toys for kids up to age 16. Yay! I’m so sending a handmade softie to these guys. Maybe even two!

Craftivism for HouseWorks!

Just made a giant update to the shop. I’ll add some more stuff tomorrow, but now it’s time to start painting crown molding. Heh, guess what we’re doing instead of eating turkey!

Hope everyone has a fantastic Turkey Day! Drive safely wherever you’re headed.
