It was a very good month. Dig in. Every entry is a classic.
Craft Cartel Podcast Episode #2: Handmade Politics
Nope we’re not just a flash in the pan, we now have TWO episodes!
This episode we talk the politics of buying handmade stuff.
We also talk to some of our cartel members about the items they put together for our St Patricks Day anti-colonial market.
We interview Kirsteene from Scrumptious Productions
The first of our series of craft [...]
PUPcycling
I love how artists and crafters are so good at taking other peoples waste and turning it into something wonderful and clever. I reckon plastic bag upcycling is the best example. There are so many amazing things that can be done with a plastic bag other than chucking it in a landfill.
The most [...]
Feminist Bookmark
International Women’s Day is always a special day for me because I like to spend the day reviewing the last year of my own life through a feminist lens. I also like to spend time remembering all of the women who have fought and died for the freedoms I now enjoy.
This year I spent [...]
Riots Not Diets
Here’s a very cute use of cross stitch in art. Flickr user Sparklyvodka (great name, like her already!) made these as a final project for an art course. These are all based on things the celebrities would never say. Although I wonder if there should be (in private) at the end of that statement..
Trek Craft
I’m not a fan crafter. I would possibly like to be but I don’t think I’m obsessed enough about anything to want to make fan craft. Unless of course, if you count dead radical feminists…
But I have so much admiration for fan crafters ’cause they make such cool stuff. I reckon it [...]
Iraq I Roll
Yesterday (otherwise known as today in the rest of the world who haven’t caught up yet) was the 5th Anniversary of the US Invasion of Iraq. So I’ve been thinking about what my contribution was gonna be to the blogswarm.
Craft Cartel Podcast Episode #1!!!
Yes folks, you’ve heard the whispers and the rumours are true, the Craft Cartel is now a Podcast!
This episode we talk about the Cartel and where it all began. We talk to Melanie from Satchel. And share some fun and subversive crafty projects for you to get involved in. Plus a bit [...]
Boing!
I just have to share this exciting news. One of our Craft Cartel members Jellibat has had one of her latest products featured on Boing Boing!
He’s a poor bunny who was saved from a science lab, his brain sometimes pops right out of his head.
Unfortunately this one of a kind item has been sold and [...]
A Radical Easter
For those of you unfortunate souls who aren’t members of the Radical House Wives Baking Club and Terrorist Society Facewank group, I will share this message with you. Because it is so wonderful!

Skateistan
Skateistan is Afghanistan’s first dedicated co-educational skateboarding school. The project will engage with the growing numbers of urbanised Afghan youth in Kabul through skateboarding and provide new opportunities in cross-cultural interaction and education.
Craft to make you blush
A friend of mine sent me this link yesterday (I love friends that send me brilliant crafty links!) to the knit porn website; knitting + sex = hot.
Well, obviously!
Kia ora Kitty?
Well there’s a bit of a hoo-ha going on at the moment about a certain illustrator and his creation of a Maori Hello Kitty design. NOTE! This is not a real doll, it is an illustration. This guy does not work for Sanrio and this is not one of their dolls.
Craft Fetish
Does anyone out there know anything about this? It’s intriguing and exciting!
Not Your M(o)ms Craft Zine
Check out this super ace craft zine I found on Etsy and got in my mailbox yesterday!
Figging Awesome
OK check out this amazing party invite I got it the inbox today:
Dear fig-lovers,
For the past 2½ years, the lorikeets and bats have been holding their own debauched celebrations in my fig tree. I was never invited, but this year I’m getting my own back.
Figgtacular 08 is here.
DRESS: You can wear what you like, but [...]
Some time to breathe
At last spring is within sight in Sweden and after working way too much during the past year I finally can do something else with my time than spending it on a train or at work. I intend to make as much of it as possible before the next job starts. Which basically means sleeping [...]
Mania Meme
Righto so I got tagged for this meme (goodness it’s been a while) to tell 6 things of your life which look like manias or tics, and then pass it to 6 other persons.
So I’ll cheat and take the hint and say that number one would be my amusement of all things poo. I’ll [...]
