We are delighted to be announcing Woolly Hugs’ Easter Craft Sale to raise funds for the fabulous charity MIND.

MIND is a charity dedicated to supporting anyone experiencing a mental health problem. They offer sound information, advice and support to individuals, and also campaign tirelessly to raise public awareness and promote understanding of issues relating to mental health. To read more about the fantastic work they do, read on here.

“We’re here to make sure no one has to face a mental health problem alone.” MIND

We’d love to help them.

Here's how...
We are going to run an online Easter Craft sale in a very similar way to our successful Christmas craft fundraiser. All funds raised will be donated to MIND.

We'd love your help...
We are looking to make and sell small/lightweight Eastery/Spring/gorgeous items, sewn, crocheted, knitted, crafted, the how is up to you! To keep postage costs to a minimum we ask that ideally anything made can be sent on to a buyer in a Large envelope, which is 35cm by 25cm, no thicker than 2.5cm, 750g max. Or smaller obvs :)

Some suggestions for you but we are open to others

  • Easter decorations - chicks, eggs, sheeeeps, rabbits.
  • Easter/spring bunting
  • Brooches
  • Other Stuff???!!!

Last posting for crafts to be FRIDAY 28th MARCH Thanks
Please PM for posting information.

If you’d like to contribute funds to help others craft, then we’d love to hear from you. Our paypal is [email protected] and make sure you add a contact name and note that it is for MIND.

The Sale itself will take place during the week beginning Monday 6th April, actual dates to be confirmed, it will be run through our Facebook page MNWoollyHugs. All details we will share on here, on FB and Twitter @MNWoollyHugs nearer the time.

Huge thanks once again. Fingers crossed this will be a great success and we can help the lovely folk at MIND help even more lovely folk.

Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks

I'm so happy it worked, it's brightened my day. I was in the doldrums this morning. Spring will soon be here and there is a beautiful sunset outside my window.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/02/2014 18:16

Daffodils Ahoy!

:)

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 18:20

Excellent!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 28/02/2014 19:19

So pleased we're doing this. :)

GlaikitFizzog · 28/02/2014 19:24

Hullo! Marking my spot, about to get lost in Pinterest! If I'm not back soon come find me please!

yegodsandlittlefishes · 28/02/2014 19:24

MIND is a great charity.

Marcipex · 28/02/2014 19:26

I have a dolly in Spring clothes, but she won't fit in an envelope, she needs a shoebox.

pimskie · 28/02/2014 19:32

Never joined this thread before but would a small cross stitched Eastery thing be useful? Thinking little bunny or something? Perhaps in a card if I can manage to find a nice one.

NellVarnish · 28/02/2014 19:40

Oh the daffodil is lovely yegod! As is Pistey's wee egg!

So glad I found this thread, it has stirred my creative juices - and helping MIND too.

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 19:53

Pimskie, a cross stitch Eastery thing would be lovely Smile

Marcipex · 28/02/2014 20:02

Is mine too big?

MrsKwazii · 28/02/2014 21:18

Oh Lord! I can already feel the "woolly want mist" descending.

Still have little pangs occasionally for those robins y'know sniff big eyes

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 21:38

Robins is not Eastery, Kwaziiiiiiiii!

But....we'll have some loverly little birdies, most likely [temptatious]

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 21:39

Marci, if you think it is suitable for our sale and are happy to send it, we'll pop it in Smile

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 21:41
Marcipex · 28/02/2014 21:50

Shall I send you a pic? I won't be offended if you say no.

yegodsandlittlefishes · 28/02/2014 21:55

What about a flower garland?

KnottyLocks · 28/02/2014 22:01

Marci, if you'd like to send a pic to admin @ woollyhugs.com , we'll have a look Smile
