Goodness, seen the news recently? I’m mildly enjoying the irony of all the free marketeers crying out for state assistance. It reminds me of the old Mussollini quote “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.”

The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand are launching their Australian campaign for the upcoming general election in Melbourne on Tuesday. You should totally come. There’s gonna be dub, yummy food and crafty door prizes. Need I say more?
A few days ago members of the Melbourne Revolutionary Craft Circle went out armed with bags of finger knitted wool, seeds, painted banners, ribbons, thermoses, cups, cameras, chocolate and some sneaky hip flasks to engage in some creative resistance against the rampant speculation which is wreaking havoc in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray.
Not quite but it would be an ace present for her.
It’s from etsy seller edelweissvintage and it’s the coolest plate I’ve ever seen. Although the gavel/mallet more reminds me of a hammer. Like the old saying ‘if I had a hammer, I’d smash patriarchy… found it!’
I just adore crazy old plates. I’ve got one [...]
Ooh I love the internet being full of clever people.

A cross stitch of an [...]
Okay, so I know I shouldn’t let jerks like Steven Wells (that Kakariki mentioned in her latest post) piss me off as much as they do, but I just couldn’t help myself.
In the weekend I had the joy of going on a crafternoon trip with the cool women from Kaotic Kraft Kuties and Brown Owls. We went to the Melbourne Print Museum. Which I didn’t even know existed! And I hang out across the road at the Footscray Community Arts Centre quite regularly. [...]
Julie at The Hand Mirror shared this awesome poster, which I think I’ve seen before, but always deserves a showing
I’ve written about Craft Cartel member Jellibat before and how super dooper clever she is. But hell, I reckon she has so surpassed herself with this one.
I’m there!
Thanks Mikes and the Kuties
