Again I would like to apologize for not posting information for you this week. I have been working like a mad woman making quilts for the victims of the Joplin, MO tornado that wiped out half of the city. Below are a few pictures of the damage that was done to my friend's home and the town in general.
Our good friend's uncle was sleeping in his bed when the tornado sirens went off. She told us that he grabbed the side of the mattress and flipped it over on top of himself. You can see the mattress in the tree on the right side of this picture. That tree is in the neighbors yard. He survived and is doing fine. Thank god for all those who made it through this horrible storm and please say a prayer for those who didn't make it and those that are still missing.
This is the pet that lived in the house in the picture above. His name is Sammy. They found him alive after the tornado, two days of rain and a bulldozer had been over this area. This is just one tiny survivor but he gives hope to others who may have lost their pets in this horrible storm.
I am adding two links to my blog. One is for a local Springfield company called Big Fish Screenprinting - the link is posted on OzarksFirst.com. They started making t-shirts to sell in order to raise money for the Joplin Area Relief Fund. The shirts are $10.00 and $7.00 of it goes to the fund.
Hope For Joplin - T-shirts
The second link I am posting is one from Mizzou (University of Missouri) who has partnered with the Heart of Missouri United Way. The shirts say "One State, One Spirit, One Mizzou". These shirts are $14.95 and all funds will go to the "United for Joplin" campaign through the United Way.

There are several other sites out there selling Joplin t-shirts, but I could not find anything on their sites that stated that any portion of the proceeds were going to help the Joplin area. Please be aware of this when you are purchasing your t-shirts.
