My friend Sharon alerted me to a cross stitch pattern designed by Kateryna Stitchy Princess in Ukraine, who sells her patterns on Etsy to supplement her income. Sharon saw her on a Facebook group, but as I'm not on Facebook, she posted the details to me. I purchased the pattern for about A$5.50, barely enough to buy a coffee here, but helps someone in a war torn country to buy food and essentials.
She creates the most beautiful designs, and I hope more stitchers around the world will be encouraged to buy her patterns (they are downloaded to your computer when you pay - nothing is sent by mail that might get lost in transit) to help her survive
This is the one I purchased:
