I couldn't find a slip case for my laptop, so I decided to make one. It only took a couple of hours. It looks a bit wonky but that is the angle of the photo.

Help
If you want to purchase the amazing picture of David Tree sharing his water with Sam, phone the Herald Sun Shop on 1300 306 107. All proceeds will go to the CFA.
The CFA is the Country Fire Association, this is the VOLUNTEER force who are doing most of the fire fighting. So this is a REALLY good cause, and you get a great photo.
NOTE: That is an Australian number.
Here is the website for photo purchases. I'm sure if you ask about the Koala getting a drink, they will know which one you mean!

The thing to remember is that while cute, koala's have a nasty temper and normally don't like humans. It just goes to show how desparate this little one was to just sit there and be touched. Also, they don't normally drink water (they get it from the leaves they eat) and this little girl drank three bottles of water!!
I've seen video of this as well, and you get the feeling that being able to help this little beast really gave a boost to the people fighting the fires. Moments after this was taken, they had to rush away to fight for someones house but Sam was picked up by wildlife carers and is now on the road to recovery.

OK So Far
To those who've asked, I'm fine. In fact the temp has dropped 20 degrees and its pouring rain outside. I'm literally hundreds of miles from where the disaster is occuring in Victoria.
As far as SCA people being affected, so far there hasn't been an confirmed cases of SCA members being directly affected by the fires. If they are, I'll be sure to let people know.

Victorian Fires
We've had it relatively easy here in NSW. We are used to fires in Australia, but these are just beyond belief.

Sewing Machine Feet Video
This might be handy for people. A whole page of videos explaining what the different feet for sewing machines do and how to use them. Also a heap on overlocking/serging technique.
