Hi
It's been a slow start to 2025, with very few headset cover orders. It's enabled me to have my main sewing machine serviced (I do have my trusty old machine so I can keep machining).
Today is a beautifully sunny, end of February day and Meg (my dog) and I are enjoying the sunshine - although there is a chill in the air.
Let's hope the covers take off in March...

Hi,
Happy New Year to all who read this blog.
I'm sitting in the kitchen, it's the warmest place in the house today, looking at the garden and being thankful that we live in such a peaceful spot. The snowdrops are beginning to appear which is always a good sign at this time of year.
I will be adding some more fabrics to the website in the coming weeks.
Best wishes, Moira
Hi
If you purchased headset covers you are part of the success of this project and you have helped service men and women who have turned to Help for Heroes after a sad event in their lives. Many service personnel are lucky enough to go through their years of service without having to engage in war, or dangerous work however, some are not so lucky. With your help we can give something back to those who have suffered. All the money you pay for your headset covers goes to HfH. Thank you to all of you who have ordered covers since 2013.
I am hosting Christmas this year so the last posting day for headset covers will be the 19th of December. Order as soon as possible if you want the covers for Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year

Hi
The cost of fabric has risen over the last few years however, the cost of the postage when I order fabric has become ludicrous. I was quoted £16 for postage from the USA to UK for a half quarter (this represents half a metre) of fabric, this was actually more than the fabric. Therefore, I have decided to stop ordering fabric from the USA and Australia as it is becoming too expensive. Sadly this will restrict the fabrics I can buy.
Don't forget when you are ordering that 2 pairs of covers cost the same to post as 1 set. Why not share the postage with a friend.
Best wishes

Hi, Here in Herefordshire we have suffered from flooding following downpours. Sadly it looks like more rain is on the way, so if you are ordering headset covers in rainy weather please be patient if I can't get out to post them. We have had no post in the area for 2 days due to flooding causing impassible roads. However, it's amazing how much paperwork you can get done!
I've just ordered some new fabrics - when they arrive they will go onto the website.
Kind regards to all, Moira
Good news for the website - I spent a couple of days with H and have put some new fabrics onto the website. If you want a fabric which is not on the site let me know and I'll look for something suitable.
Thank you to those people who have ordered headset covers recently.
Best wishes to all

Hi
I've just sent a cheque for £400.00 to Help for Heroes which is the money raised so far this year. Many thanks to all who have ordered headset covers.
I've also included the reply from HfH here:-
