stevan Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Just an FYI, I just bought a couple of patterns. I figure it's the least we can do to help out Alex. Wish we could do more. OzarkSawdust and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzarkSawdust Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I've bought 3-4 more Alex patterns last day or two. Told him that I hope he can still get paid. Just got a message from Alex about an hour ago...sounds like things are going downhill fast in his neighborhood (Kherson). It's getting late over there so I probably won't hear anything till tomorrow. I pray for the safety of him and his family. Hi, The Russians occupied Kherson and entered the city, including heavy equipment (tanks, armored personnel carriers). All entrances and exits in the city are blocked, during the last shelling, some rockets hit residential buildings, I don’t know if there were casualties. There was a fire in the largest mall in Kherson (I don’t know whether it was arson or a rocket hit), but when the fire truck arrived, they fired at it, the firemen managed to escape. In general, the situation is very complicated. meflick, wombatie, kmmcrafts and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC Scroller Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Posted by Charles Hand this morning: "Scroll saw friends. This is the latest (7:00 AM ET) from our friend Alex Fox in Kherson, Ukraine. "Now Russians are all over the city, all shops, pharmacies are closed, there are no civilians on the streets, no one leaves their houses. Our mayor made a statement that the administration is working, the life support of the city (gas, water, electricity, the Internet) is working. No one from the Russian military addressed him, the flag on the main square is Ukrainian. It turns out that after the fighting, the Russians drove into the city and are probably waiting for further instructions.""

Nothing else to add at this time. I would think the next on the list would be to take Odesa. Shutting off Ukraine from all seaports would be even worse.

barb.j.enders Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Alex had posted on a facebook feed that I saw yesterday. He said they were safe at that time and were donating some of the money from his Etsy site to a charitable organization. Of course I can't find that posting now. wombatie and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
