Radical Cross Stitch

This is probably going to be my least safe for work post ever, so if you’re looking at this at work. Make sure you’re the IT guy, or the boss – unless you’re a primary school principal…

So last night the Craft Cartel hosted the second Trashbag Rehab – craft workshops for people overdosed on cutesy crap. And like the first one, it was packed. We even had to turn a fair number of people away this time. It was craziness! I was most impressed at how seriously every one took it. At one point I thought ‘gee it’s a bit quiet..’ and then I realised it was just that everyone was concentrating so hard! Love it.

We even dragged out the boys in blue.  I understand it was a noise complaint.  But they were wooed with a serenade and a breasty embroidery gift to take back to the watchhouse.  Even the police need nice walls, people. But I reckon no one should tell the Herald Sun eh?

So on to the pictures..

That last one is one of the demonstration models made by me before the event.  And it’s for sale.  G’arn you know you want to.

UPDATE: Our porn made it to the hallowed arrrrts page of The Age, hello visitors!
