		<title>Softies for Mirabel - 2012 : Our 6th Year!</title>
		<link>http://www.flickr.com/groups/softiesformirabel/</link>
 		<description>Yay!  IT'S NEARLY TIME!  Softies for Mirabel is entering it's sixth year!!!!

We're asking the craft community to make a softie - which we'll exhibit and donate to the kids who are supported by The Mirabel Foundation.  Mirabel is a wonderful organisation which supports the children of families affected by substance abuse.  They do amazing, important work - and we try to support THEM in our own small crafty ways!  You can find them at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mirabelfoundation.org.au/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.mirabelfoundation.org.au/&lt;/a&gt; 

You can make one softie.. or lots!  You can hand-sew it or machine sew it... You can knit it.. or crochet it... You might even like to have a crafternoon devoted to softie making... or perhaps you have a social group who might like to have a go at this together!

Keep us posted by letting us know how YOU are getting involved... and upload lots of photos of whatever you decide to make for Mirabel!

Softies need to be finished and mailed so as to reach us by December 20th.  Send to 

Softies For Mirabel
Meet Me at Mikes
63 Brunswick Street
Fitzroy  3065
Australia

If you would like to share your very own softie pattern online for others to use - let us know!  We would be SO SO SO grateful!

Can't wait to see all your wonderful softies!

&lt;p&gt;Hi guys I just posted a really really easy tutorial on my blog with a downloadable pattern -  I thought it would be a great softie for people to try for Mirabel.&lt;br /&gt;
Easy, quick and dangerous bits -&lt;br /&gt;
