Look whats new!

I have received a letter from SWEP this week

that is the government department who have to approve 

my wheel chair application.

The good news is the chair has been approved,

BUT

the bad news is that I have to find $13000,

and the wait is at least 9 months!

I think it will probably be even longer, they are so far behind.

I have been waiting for continence stuff  since August 1st, 

it is now November 17, usually I only wait 2-3 weeks, 

if they are that far behind with simple things, 

I guess something as complex as a power chair, is going to take forever.

Oh well, disability teaches you to be patient.

To keep me occupied, and help fund the chair,

I have decided to sell my felt food.

This is the new offering --

"Afternoon tea for two".

in a shinny spotted box, you will find - 

a selection of yummy jam biscuits,

heart sugar cookies, 

two large donuts with sprinkles,

and of course two tea bags, these ones are orange

and green tea.

As usual everything is made by hand,

and is safe for little ones.

My two testers are Bella and Sekoya, 

I am assured they love playing with my food.

It can be washed carefully, 

and it is practically indestructible, 

unless you feed it to the dog!!

If anyone is interested in any of my food,

you can reach me [hopefully],

at this address ----

anneandmidnight@hotmail.com

if you look further back in my blog,

you will find more of my food.

Enjoy!

An incredible response!!

Well Saturday was the big day of --

"The Great  Wheel Chair BBQ"

and what a day it was, Luke and Nicole from

Savemore in Bentleigh, had gone to so much trouble.

I believe Luke was seen cutting onion rings with goggles on!!

Only a man would do that.

As you can see by the picture above, we also had beautiful gingerbread men ,

made by Gabe and packed by Indie,Jess and myself.

They looked beautiful and tasted even better.

 Here is the sausage sizzle area,

and

 the gingerbread area, with my great salesman and friends.

Midnight stayed by my side for 4/5 hours,without complaining.

People came to pat him and then bought gingerbread.

Our biggest customer was Kate,

she took the last NINE packs!!

Here we are waiting patiently for our first customer.

 Poor Edd, none gave him any gingerbread!

its a tough life being a poodle.

Here is my beautiful boy selling sausages,

look at those eyes,

how could anyone resist.

It was a wonderful day,

I met some very generous people,

who happily gave money to help someone, 

who most of them didn't even know.

There was the old lady who was diabetic, she wanted to buy a sausage for Midnight and when I said he was not allowed to eat them said she would put the money in anyway.

The person who put money in my tin so I would not end up in a nursing home like her husband.

The family who donated because they like seeing me and Middi running along the bike path together.

So many beautiful messages of support,

too many to mention, but all precious to me.

How much did we raise??

$927.10

Thank you, everyone.

 

Thank you to you also Big Boy!!
