Matariki Crafting

Welcome to those of you who are here from the Matariki Crafting Blog Hop!  I would like to thank Juliet of Tartan Kiwi for a splendid job of gathering us all together for a spot of winter crafting.  

On the weekend I got together with a girlfriend to cut, embellished and sewed a bunch of sweet covers for The Hottie Project - the sister event to Matariki Crafting.

Hopefully you have heard of The Hottie Project.  It is all about the crafting community coming together to create a BIG stack of lovely warm hottie covers to keep Christchurch children cosy and warm this winter. 

Here's how you can help:

• Create a hottie cover!  Sew, crochet, knit, embroider - whatever takes your fancy!  The key here is keeping children warm, so your hottie cover doesn't need to be super fancy, just lovely and cuddly and something you would love to keep your children warm.

• If you need a free template/pattern please leave a comment here.   (Anonymous comments are welcome but it means I don't have your email address to send you the pattern, so please pop me an email me at thebiglittleshop@gmail.com as well :)

Here is a little selection of hottie covers received so far from some very kind and talented bloggers...

What better way to spend your evenings than to have a craft night and invite your friends round for some coffee, cake and crafting?   Details for The Hottie Project are here.  We are hoping to send the first parcel on June 21st so it's time to get crafting!  I can't wait for you to join us :)
