Hearts for Haiti on #Etsy - Thanks @nelliejean

I am beside myself with excitement!

Why? Well, after much scrimping and saving and with a last push from Kristen (@nelliejean on Twitter) I managed to make enough sales to buy THIS.

It's from one of my favourite Etsy sellers The Crochet Kitten whose work I love (AND who has a lovely blog written by Selena K the Crochet Kitty herself!)

If you want some of the crochet action AND to help Haiti read on :-


HELP FOR HAITI:

Now through February 28th, CrochetKitten.com will help Haiti's earthquake victims in two ways:

1. 50% of the selling price of any Zodiac Kittenkaboodle crochet kit will be donated to UNICEF's Haiti earthquake relief fund.

2. 100% of the profits of the Zodiac Kitten pattern book on Kindle will be donated to the World Society for the Protection of Animals' Haiti earthquake relief fund. Buy the Kindle book

Confusion over Project Wonderful

PW - have provided me with some absolutely wonderful advertisers over the past months. I loved seeing the handmade sellers who felt I was a good place to advertise.

Now, half the world's (not the US half) has ads disappearing and big blank spaces on their blogs and web sites until, I think they said, people find you again, or you find them by clicking on the US flag on your page. I did, my ads still haven't come back.

I have emailed and got explanations back (thanks Linden) but I still haven't got a grip on why all my great advertisers disappeared. I had some really nice Handmade ads, some lovely individual sellers and I am not convinced they will come back - there are probably other places they will go.

I'm a bit upset by it all.
