WinterWarm is Live!
Me, I’m an exhausted girl. With a headache. But I just wanted to quickly let everyone know that The WinterWarm Project is now live.
It took me much longer to get running than expected, not because the work was hard, but because I seem to have minimal skills at coping with pressure these days. I’m working on that.
Anyway, the site is finally here. At the moment, in order to get the knitted items to us, we only have a Melbourne post box, so items will need to be sent to us. Melburnians can use the contact form on the site to organise a pick up or drop off. The delivery options will increase throughout the year though, and we’ll be doing a lot of work when Mum is here in July, organising freight sponsorship to help us with that.
Anyway…
Run on over and check it out. (You get to see what my Mum looks like!)
Spread the word if you can. (I’ll be adding a few different images you can use in your sidebars over the next couple of weeks.)
Help out with the knitting/crocheting if you can. (We’ll slowly begin to add free patterns to the site, so subscribe.)
Anyway, we’re excited!

oh great! I’ve been waiting for this. Shall do something about letting others know about it too.

I agree. We run a website for rural and regional Australia. http://www.ourpatch.com.au We tried to cover the event and have looked at the initial outcomes document. It is all quite self evident and the country outcomes were even less convincing than the others. Basically it seems all they came up with was we have to help rebuild country communities and we need to come up with a way to attract and hold people in the country. Gosh! How profound. It’s a real pity they had many of Australia’s top thinkers and leaders. I suspect a weekend with all those people is just not the way to come to grips with these issues. They are complex and need concerted effort and thought over a long period of time. Also not every problem has a palatable solution.

What a wonderful idea this is and I wish you much success.
