As you know (or should know), there are "LOVE JAPAN" items in my Etsy shop that you can purchase and 100% of the proceeds will go to help those who were devestated from the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I also have a few of my regular items, and 50% of the proceeds will go to help them.

My items have been featured in a bunch of treasury lists on Etsy (too many to list), and a couple of blogs.

Are you doing anything special to donate or help in this time of need? If you are, I'd like to hear about it.


Featured on these blogs....

{Made by Me} Monday

[Made by Me] Monday - Coin Purses & a Bat Zombie

Tonight I made a bunch of coin purses.

Made a few "Love Japan" coin purses for the Etsy shop. The letters didn't come out how I wanted them to, but I guess it adds a grungy look to it.




I also made coin purses for Bub and Mimi. They collect loose change they find around the house and G-Ma told them to ask mommy to make coin purses for them. So I did. :P






Whenever I sew, the kids always ask me to make them something. So tonight I told Bub to draw something and I would try and make it. So he did. He drew a "Bat Zombie". And mommy had to create it. LOL! >_<

Hey.......it came out pretty good. The wings are a little big though. =/




Mimi wants a kangaroo. Hmmm.....we'll see how that turns out. O_o

**UPDATE**

Here is Mimi's Kangaroo. It turned out......cute. :P

8.9 Japan Earthquake & Tsunami

What a night/morning. >_<"

Everyone here in hawaii was on alert from the tsunami warning when an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck of the east coast of Japan.

Long lines of cars trying to fill their vehicles with gas and people rushing to buy water and other necessities.

First wave hit Hawaii a little after 3am, but there was no huge wave action. Just water receeding and coming back in. At the Diamond Head lookout, the reef was exsposed as fas as 100 yards. Some part of Hawaii were hit the most. Like Maui and the Big Island.

The "All Clear" has been given for Hawaii a little over an hour ago. But cautioning all beach-goers to stay out of the water due to unpredictable wave action.

I just thank God that it wasn't worse, but I am praying for those people in Japan, who took it the hardest. :(
