Red Nose Day Dolls & March 5k Day 4

"Comic Relief is a major charity based in the UK which strives to create a just world free from poverty".  That's the intro on their website.

As part of Comic Relief, Red Nose Day launched in 1988. The idea is pretty simple - everyone has a laugh whilst raising money to help change countless lives across the UK and Africa.  They even do it on TV, with the BBC giving celebrities and comedians an entire evening to entertain the nation whilst urging them to donate generously.  Every two years, thousands of people do something funny for money. They do it at home, at work, in schools and, well, just about everywhere.  

Sometimes I really miss the UK :0(

Picture 'borrowed' (with encouragement) from their Facebook album.

As part of this year's Red Nose Day (March 15th), some UK handcrafters have made 4 dolls, kitted out by other handcrafters with clothes, bedding, baskets, hats, pets, any number of other accessories, and of course, red noses :0)  The dolls will be auctioned off on ebay, but in the meantime, we can delight in all their new handcrafted goodies, which seem to show up on a daily basis.

Take a look at their blog here.

And their facebook page here.

And their twitter here.

Total cuteness awaits you, I promise :0)

And on Day 4 of my 5k a day challenge, I was so excited to get my average mile time below 11 minutes.  I have a time goal of 9 minutes a mile for my big summer race, but am worried about achieving it.  Must. try. harder.
