Crafting for courage(1)

I had told you about some blog friends who organised a sale with all the profits going to help Japan.
I couldn't resist buying some of the things that were sold on the sale so that I can somehow in my very small way help Japanese people as well.
Today the first of my three purchases arrived.It is a lovely pincushion from Sonia in Cozy Memories who added  a lovely coaster in the parcel as this was her 200th sale and also some cross stitch ribbon to get me inspired to stitch some more.
Thank you dear Sonia!
