Do you ever just want to buy something instead of make something?

Given the recent loss of my dog, this week’s craftivist project gives you a reason to whip out your wallet, not your needles.

Melissa from Lekkner is the brain behind Crafters for Critters which collects donations of crafty things made by various crafty people, sells them, and then donates the proceeds to benefit homeless Greyhound pups. This money collected from the purchases of this go-round of crafts will be donated to Michigan Greyhound Connection.

For those of you not familiar about why Greyhounds are in need of your help, I suggest visiting the Greyhound Protection League’s website for more information.

The great thing about this particular project is that if you don’t see anything you like during this current round of crafts, in a few months, it will all be different! I couldn’t help being astounded and overjoyed at the length of the list of contributors, because looking the sheer number of people willing to contribute, who would dare to say that there isn’t a craft resurgence?

In case you were curious, my M.A. dissertation is now online. Thank you for all of your emailed respones to my original questions! Oh, and I passed! There is nothing that excites me more than the possibilities of craft, and its lineage to the past and future.
