Things That Inspire Me

I am fortunate to have a spare bedroom in my home. Despite being small, it serves as a computer and craft room. Here are a couple pictures of its contents that inspire me.

This one is part of the acrylic and cotton in my stash. The acrylic will be used to make slippers for the Pink Slipper Project. The cotton will become baby items for a couple of charities.

I am  inspired  by the beauty of the colors available for my use.

Tornado in Joplin, MO

Joplin,  MO is located in the Southwestern part of the state.  Yesterday evening at 5:35pm Central Daylight Time it was hit by a tornado, which has been unofficially rated as an EF4. The town, including  one of its two hospitals has been severely affected by the effect of this tornado.

If you are interested in helping with the relief effort please go to the Joplin, MO Tornado Recovery page on Facebook. After looking around the internet this was the most complete resource I found.

If you are not able to donate or physically help with the relief effort, then please for all of those, including rescue workers, who are coping with the effects of this disaster.

To those of you affected by this disaster, please know that prayers are being sent for you.
