Quick update

If you've emailed me or joined the Morsbag POD and wondering what's going on, I'll get back to everyone in a few weeks time (after the Christmas madness) with some dates and an update on POD activities for Jan/Feb/March next year. Ta.

Made by Me at Brown Owls

Kittehs! Chickens! A puffy kitteh! Lots of fun was had. I always seem to lose my mind at Brown Owls and can't focus on anything, but these nice gals were very patient with me. Anna Laura showed us how to make puffy brooches, and I made a cat as per the one she showed us. So it's her design, and a kitty badge made just for me to wear. Most pleased. More Brown Owls pics here.

PS. If you were there and heard me babbling about our new Bag Pod, check out the info I've put here...see if it makes more sense. The stats on the Morsbags page also suggest that bag recyclers are still the minority of shoppers and that plastic bag usage is still overwhelmingly prevalent. So please join in!

Come join my pod!

Reading the new Frankie (as you do) and I came across Morsbags. I quote "Morsbags is part of a global community project that helps people come together and sew up fabric bags out of recycled material, then give them away to encourage others to stop using plastic."
I couldn't see a Melbourne/Victoria (as I know we've got regional crafty peeps out there) so I made one called "VicPod". Wanna join my pod? I've just registered it this morning, so if you check the site over the next day or two it should be there for you to join. - To find the pod, go to www.morsbags.com, click on"POD PAGE" and then "TOP OF THE PODS", if you scroll down that list, near the bottom (with 0 bags made) is vicpod. Click on it and it should take you to our pod page.

And I'll do the Facebook thing too.

First podding day will probably be in mid January 09 - probably a central city location, I'll find a venue and get some gear together and then we can bag out together!
