Knitwear love continues

I have finished another couple of cardigans to send out ... One for Leen in Belgium and one for little Ahmed in Turkey. It is therapeutic for me while I am feeling tied down unable to get the funds to travel to see at them all.  I have been getting ill with this frustration with a further stress that I am one of the 1950s born women that cannot get our State Pension you can read more on our rally on my Cup of Tea Share & Care blog. My Syrian family call it our Granny Revolution and are concerned for me and others hurting with this situation. 
 I managed to get into London in the week to meet with a friend from Cumbria that was down on business. Gill and her sister try to help me as they can with the family link up.  While I was in London nipped into Liberty's for some buttons for the cardigans. some fun spotty ones for Leens cardigan and the I love you buttons for Ahmed... so cute and not expensive.  But in all honesty wish I could see the button man again from the canal fair in May Bank holiday as his stall was full of fun hand made buttons. I was telling the staff at Liberty about him shame they could not get a contract with him.  But the sale assistant was interested in my Family Link Up project and promised to look at this blog. 
 Another cardigan on the go which I will make into a Unicorn theme for Leen. 

Can you help me raise funds for the trip over to Belgium and to get provisions for them, more art materials for Boshra so she can market her work and educational books and toys for the girls... Leen needs school clothes. Boshra needs some furniture particularly beds as they are sleeping on the floor at the moment. There is a reasonable furniture store near where they are housed. So we can give the local trader some business if there is the funds to purchase. We need to get some baking things for the new home kitchen and do some baking together :-) Stock the freezer up for the coming months. Can we do this together dear helpers? let me know of ideas such as coffee mornings and sponsored runs or cycles... anything that can help this project
