THis month's charity is Dogs for the Deaf chosen by Dogonwear.
Dogonwear says :
"The doggies need blankets!!!!
We recieved a special request from a special place. Dogs for the Deaf have requested dog blankets and help in general. There is an overflow of strays right now, and these guys place them free of charge with recipients nationwide and in Canada. Your contribution to this project could make a HUGE impact in our helping them rescue unwanted dogs and train them to help others. With your generosity,you are doing so much more than just helping a stray, you are making an investment in developing an extraordinary life-long human-animal partnership and team.
So here's the deal: To whom ever wants to get involved… You can make this blanket from old clothes you were going to donate, or destash your fabric (come on, you know you need to), you may knit, crotchet, use fabric paint (non-toxic), fabric markers, quilt it, whatever your talent may be. It can be any size, as they help all sizes, you may send how ever many blankets you want. I would really like to make an impact… please don't be shy, jump right in with a big OL' "Can do" Please be sure to give it your autograph and include your shop name and addy somewhere on the blanket, and promote the Etsy for Animals team, as these doggies might get to take these blankies home with them.Doggie sweaters are also needed, sizes small-medium.
Those who don't want to do Blankets can do Toys:
Doggie toys are also on the list and are used for the enrichment, enhancement, and motivation of the dogs in training, including but not limited to; dog toys and treats, agility equipment, and outdoor play equipment. Same deal, include your name, shop name, and etsy addy.
Those who simply want to donate something to the Dogs for the Deaf Store to help them to raise funds can do that as well. Again, make sure you include your shop name, your name, and your shop addy… send business cards as well with the items you are sending in.
The lady whom we are working with is Pam Slater: you may see her postings from time to time on my blog or on Etsy (I'm gonna get her hooked) She is the Development Director, so please address all items like this :
Attn: Pam Slater
Dogs for the Deaf
10175 Wheeler Road
Central Point, OR 97502
From:
Etsy For Animals
Your Name/Shop name
Your return address
Please keep us all informed about what you are doing, or mailing, please take pictures and let us know so we can pat you on the back and put you on a list of special people.
I thank you all so much for your help in advance, I know you all will reach out judging by how our last round robin project went. Fantastico!!!!!! Who knows what's happening for August?????????"

EFA July Project - for Dogs for the Deaf
Sunday, June 29, 2008
Meet Dogonwear, the EFA chat coordinator
Gena says:
I am a "30-something" Southern woman, my business partner is Joan, and we are a collective ALL handmade shop. We worked at the same company for several years, but barely knew each other. We shared a desk, Joan during the day and Gena at night, and we also shared a dream. Each dreamed that some day she would own her own business, but it was just that, a dream. Then one day Fate stepped into our dream and downsized us right out of our jobs and, out of necessity and our shared love for our dogs, Dog-On Wear was born. Now the dream is reality! (Be careful what you wish for - you might just get it!)
Now we have been in business for almost 4 years, running from show to show. We like to support charities that are actively finding homes for shelter/rescue dogs, such as the http://www.bayareagreyhounds
We heard about Etsy on early morning TV (I believe it was the Martha Stewart show). E
FA was the first team I joined. I was quiet for some time just watching and learning my way around. Once I decided I could fit in there I jumped in with both feet and have been making friends ever since. I find myself checking my Etsy "convos" before I go to my own e-mail. I have now developed a network of people with a common interest: animals.In response to Michele's question below, the greyhound is Yukon, a retired racing dog who is looking for a forever home, and the Fox terrier/Pekinese mix at the right is Gena's dog (and top model!), Jonny.
Meet Midnightrabbits, our animal charity fundraiser coordinator
Note from me: Midnightrabbits (Kim) coordinates the requests that EFA receives from animal charity groups for handmade items to be used in fund raising activities. Kim lives in Wales and has seven cats and three dogs, as well as the five kittens and their mother that she just rescued. In addition to all her work for EFA, she also helps coordinate the AWBAR street team.
Midnightrabbits says:
For as long as I can remember I loved animals and abhorred animal cruelty. My late teen years saw me involved in peaceful protest groups such as anti-apartheid, then Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. Somehow I became vegetarian, which naturally developed into veganism a few years later. I studied Fashion design at college and loved finding and working in fabrics that were vegan friendly. I was and still am involved with my local animal rights group F.A.U.N.A - Friends of Animals Under Abuse. I helped them by making a huge banner for demos, and did lots of marches and demos in London to protest animal cruelty. I made friends with some wonderful people, and still keep in contact with them now. I admire their devotion to animals and their beliefs.
Since leaving college, I have worked freelance for TV and Film in costumes (of course) and in a theatre wardrobe department, where I got to make some fabulous elaborate costumes that I would never have done in 'real life'. Along the way I did the odd craft fayre and commission, but still had 'ordinary jobs' of varying sorts. The advent of the internet eventually led me to Etsy. I found it by chance through an internet search - this amazing place where artists could display and maybe sell their work.
Suddenly I was inspired to create again. I set up my shop. As most newbies do, I poodled around the forums, 'bumped' into some friendly veggie people, and somehow- not sure how- found EFA. EFA had not long set up, and the EFA shop was just forming. I loved it from the start. Here I could combine my two passions - helping animals and creating wonderful things. I've donated several items to the EFA shop, small bags and catnip toys.
I tend to make things that I like, rather than looking at what sells or is in vogue. I enjoy making things to send to the EFA shop and also for various animal causes that need items for their fundraisers. Since joining EFA, I've become an Etsy addict. I've joined several other teams, Cruelty Free Etsy, Vegan Etsy, UK Street Team, EtsyVeg, and one I helped to set up, AWBAR. I've met a wonderful variety of people who have become my Etsy friends. I've developed my computer skills with the help of these talented people and now have a blog, and yahoo and Flickr accounts.
I've recently taken in a stray mother cat who had 5 newborn kittens so the last 5 weeks have been hectic. She's a firecracker and I can't get near her, but the kittens like to play an
d are not so timid. They are now eating and have developed well, and mother cat is a little more chilled out with us playing with the kittens. We will soon get the mother cat spayed and put her back to where we found her (in a garden greenhouse) with a feeding programme in place, and find homes for the kittens. Fingers crossed it will all go to plan and end with smiles!

AWBAR needs your help
This raccoon treasury by cynmb was dedicated to the animals at Abandoned Wild Babies Animal Rescue (AWBAR). Amanda at AWBAR is a committed wildlife rehabilitator who rescues and releases many young animals each year. The AWBAR Rescue recently lost 13 baby raccoons to a parvo outbreak - Amanda is working around the clock to care for the remaining raccoons and the other animals at the rescue. Medicine and veterinary care has been expensive, so Amanda would be very grateful if people could contribute to the rescue. If you cannot make a financial contribution, your thoughts, prayers and support would also be much appreciated.
AWBAR has an Etsy store, and all proceeds from purchases will go to help the animals. You can also donate items to be sold in the store by joining the AWBAR street team. New members are welcome - please see this Etsy forum thread, or contact midnightrabbits for more information.
Direct donations can be also be made via PayPal on the AWBAR website.
Thanks so much to all the EFA members who have helped Amanda!

Meet Haley of Haleyshandmades - our EFA webmaster!
Note from mishkat (Katie): Haley is the EFA webmaster. Although she works behind the scenes, she is an integral part of Team EFA, and contributes many hours of her free time to help maintain the EFA website. Take a look at Haley's website or her Etsy store to see her wonderful artwork - and check out her Flickr photostream to see more of her art and her beautiful animals: Sunny, a standard poodle, and Mollie, a red tabby.
Haley says:
When I was growing up in Austin, Texas we had a variety of pets. The menagerie changed but there were always standard poodles, cats, and a parrot. We also had a salamander once and horses for a time. My mother instilled in all of us children a love of animals. I took that love with me when I went away to college in St. Louis (Washington University). By then, my artistic talent had surfaced and I started making poodle art.
I'm quite sure my professors thought I was a little peculiar creating poodle prints and drawings. My favorite piece I made when I was a student was definitely "Poodles Crossing the Delaware." It's a huge 3 foot by 5 foot print of poodles fighting in the American Revolution based on the painting by Emanuel Leutze.
I adopted a cat named Mollie soon after graduation because I missed living with animals. A standard poodle, Sunny, joined us this last winter. We adopted him when he was a little over a year old and he's a great guy to go to craft fairs with, model for cards, and take walks with because of his calm perso
nality. It's great to finally have a poodle of my own! Thursday, June 26, 2008
Here's the Buzz!!!! LIVE Links on Etsy
It is worthwhile reading the newsletter that Michele sends around to all EFA members as it often reminds me of things I forget. Those charities I promise to send a donation of goods to, the challenge I need to enter, and so on. The most important one recently is this :-
"Etsy shop websites in your shop will now be a live link, so be sure to link to http://etsyforanimals.etsy.com wherever you can, thanks ;)" Michele.
This means that EFA sellers (and all of Etsy) can put 'live' links in their shops and I think, profiles, to other Etsy sellers. This is great because it will allow people to link through to the EFA shop - one of the main focusses of EFA fundraising. If you have donated to the EFA shop, and with 500+ members the shop is actually fielding a nice range of stuff now (and providing great advertising to the contributing sellers), it is well worth putting up the EFA signpost in your shop announcement.
OK off to do it myself.....

She now has an Etsy Street Team Team AWBAR a gathering point for people who want to promote, raise funds and generally help AWBAR.
Amanda works hard to help animals - she is at the sharp end saving small lives, lives that are the wild animals of the future that will fill local woods and forests, make a racket in the morning and generally let us know that all is well with the world. You can register for updates to AWBAR here.
Join the AWBAR Street Team if you can, and/or if you are busy, under pressure or just pressed for time try donating an item from your shop instead or sell something and give Amanda the money!!. Little things, large things, anythings that might help raise a money for the feed and other stuff Amanda needs to get these little lives of a fair footing to face our tough world.
Many regular EFAers have already begun to donate, I'm proud to make my own modest contribution.

Etsy for Animals June Challenge
Once a month "Etsy for Animals" (Artists Helping Animals) has a challenge for its members to help raise money for charities helping unfortunate animals. This month's challenge is entitled "JUNE BUG" and was suggested by EFA leader mvegan5 (click on her name to see her shop!) who spends many hours of her day recruiting and working hard for the benefit of these charities and the animals they represent. So on behalf of her efforts, the effort of Etsy for Animals and to help these creatures I adore so much, here's my entry for the June challenge. I thank them for the opportunity to help.
FLOWER KITTEN
...and you thought this little sweety was looking at you? Nope...She's in a field of daisies having a "spring moment"... watching the clouds, the JUNE BUGS and catching a warm sunny breeze with not a care in the world. Lucky her! ALL animals should be this lucky. With your help though, they can be a step closer...all you have to to do is purchase this print "Flower Kitten" which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10405627 )...or another you prefer, from MY ETSY SHOP "Children's Book Illustrator, fArCiCaL fOLk aRt Creator, People and Pet Portrait Maker" at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5663698 and I will donate 10% of the sale price to the animal shelter mentioned in my listings. This particular schmoopie's donation will go to the "Last Chance Animal Rescue" located near my studio. You can visit their shelter's website by clicking on the link here: http://www.lastchancerescue.org/ but if you prefer a different print then you can click on any of my other listings offered and the charity your 10% will be donated to, will be in that listing.
All of the items in my shop are created by me and are either pastels, mixed media or some form of creative expression (how vague is that) and each and every one purchased will result in a donation to either "Last Chance Animal Rescue" OR "Horses Haven" in Howell MI. Visit Horses Haven link here : http://www.horseshaven.org/index.htm
So see? You too can help in the quest to make a better life for a deserving animal that never caused any harm to anyone and would just love the chance to watch the clouds and the JUNE BUGS while catching a warm sunny breeze on a spring day. Just like we humans get the chance to do...every now and then.

Please help animals in the Northern California wildfire!
UPDATE from Brownrose - Sunday, June 15 (cross-posted from Yahoo group)
Thank you everyone for your support and kindness. Four thousand homes are still threatened by the fire but the fire is now 45% contained and it is expected to be completely contained by Monday evening. So far 74 homes have been destroyed and more than 23,000 acres have burned. Many of the people who were evacuated are being allowed to return to their homes, however. All except one or two evacuation centers are closing down and the emergency animal shelter will be closing Sunday at 5 pm PST. Any animals not claimed will be sent to local animal shelters and services will be in place to reunite pets with their people.
The outpouring of support for all affected - people and animals - has been tremendous. The United Animal Nations and the US Humane Society provided additional supplies to the North Valley Animal Disaster Group. Hopefully soon this will just be a "remember when" story.
Original message - cross-posted from EFA member brownrose on the EFA Yahoo group. This is the Humboldt fire.
Hello All -
In the area of Northern California where I live, we are experiencing a massive, aggressive wildfire. Since starting Wednesday afternoon, the fire has consumed more than 20,000 acres. An entire town is threatened and 50 homes have been destroyed. So far containment is only around 15% with the winds - finally letting up, thank goodness - constantly changing the direction of the fire. Over 9000 people have been evacuated, many of them elderly. More than 500 animals are in the care of animal rescue organizations. Large animals are being housed at the Chico State University Farm.
Small animals are being cared for by the North Valley Animal Disaster Group. As of Friday morning they had over 300 small animals in their care. The number is larger now. They are stretched beyond capacity - of space, supplies, and funds.
I know money is tight for everyone these days. But if you can give anything, anything, it would help. The fire still rages. No one knows when these frightened animals will be able to be returned to their owners and hopefully their intact homes.
Please check out the North Valley Animal Disaster Group at http://www.nvadg.org/ for information or donations.
[Note: they accept PayPal donations.]
Even if you can't help financially, please send Light and good thoughts to these animals and their people.
Thank you.

EFA Roundrobin -Join in!
Round Robin for EFA TEAM!!! Organised by Dogonwear Make a quilt block - no don't be scared ANYONE can be involved.
Here's what Gena has to say :-
This quilt will be very special, because everyone will have had a hand in it.
Each member who chooses to get involved will have 4 weeks to complete one 12" + 2"border quilt block. This quilt's them is "EFA" so each Block will be fashioned that way…
the letters E F A doesn't matter how you do it,be as creative as you would like on your 12" block but please keep the borders clear for adjoining to the next block.This quilt's color scheme is "Bold" so please think "Bold" when
choosing fabrics from your stash to use.I'll say it again, it's your block, get as creative as you would like as long as the Letters "EFA" appear within your 12"
On the bottom of your side of your block, in the border area, only the top inch portion, please include your name, and your Etsy Shop address. Again, get creative, you can use iron-on lettering, beads, embroidery, appliqué,fabric paint, whatever you choose to use please make sure it will hold up with the many years of love this quilt will bring to the person who purchases it. On the back side of the block please include the charity you choose to support through your shop and your Etsy store address . Please be sure to
stay off the border section on the back side.
When your block is mailed it must be completed, it must be quilted and squared and ready to be assembled into the quilt. (P.S. if you don't know how or don't like to quilt you may be able to network a friend within the group to help you, teach you, or maybe complete that portion for you)
All blocks will be mailed back to Dogonwear aka Gena, then it will be assembled into the final quilt and be posted in the blog for all of us to see. Also it is up to each individual to take photos of their block for the blog… A special page will be erected (as soon as I fined help with it…LOL) for the quilt blocks to be shown as they are completed. It should be lots of fun to see them show up on line and then see your block combined into the quilt.
The Quilt will be sold to generate $ for promotional items for the EFA team. Of course with a hefty price due to all of our famous signatures as prized #1, fabulously creative world-renowned Artist.
Please represent your talents, draw, and paint, sew, express yourself but please make sure it is permanent. Depending on the amount of Blocks we receive will determine the final size of the quilt or # of quilts!
12" Block means it should be 12" in length and width, making a perfect square. Then add a 2" border all the way around. Add batting and a backing… please leave enough batting to run to the edges on all sides border ( so cut the batting at 14") Do not quilt the Border! Just add your name and shop addy in the bottom top inch portion (this means you have a 12"x1" Space to use. Be sure to leave the bottom inch loose for adjoining .
to the next block.
These Blocks are special – you may want to get a tracking number I will send each of you a convo in Etsy to let you know it has been received
Please send your questions to Dogonwear through Etsy. Please see this thread
Valuable Publicity
Michele, our heroine, has done it again!
Spotting the number of duplicate sellers in the Pet section of the Gift Guides Michele approached Etsy and asked if these sellers could be slimmed down and space made for EFA's fundraising items. Bless their little hearts they did too!! Kudos to Etsy for their humanitarian heart. It's a small, encouraging, and very human gesture to make in the direction of a charitable cause.
THANK YOU ETSY!
I include some links to encourage you to check out the Pet Gift Guide items. No, not all EFA-ers but a peephole into this amazing category that I encourage you to book mark for ideas. I had not realised that this section was a great place for themed presents - now I know!!
Amazing bed!
Delightful print
Cool pet carrier
Here's the link to the Pet front page and here to the gift guide generally.
