I am a part of the Multicultural Women’s Sewing Group in Brunswick.

Where women can come and learn to sew, work on their own projects, and have a cup of tea and chat. We welcome children and this allows a lot of ladies to enjoy the group.

We are having a few projects on during the school holidays and are always looking for some extra volunteers to help out with the kids, sewing or just helping pack up.

You can learn more about us at http://www.sewgroup.blogspot.com
if you would like to join in on the projects or lend a helping hand!

Hi Pip,

Hello!

I've just created a new range of cushions, teatowels and hankies featuring paintings by me and my Mum – there are apples and peacocks and flowers and teacups… and I still have a head full of ideas.

To have a look, go to http://www.shinyhappyart.com

Join the mailing list to win a one off cushion I'm making at the moment. It's drawn on 15 July.

I also give $1 per hanky sold to the Scarlett Kisses Project, supporting bereaved mothers.

Thanks for this opportunity Pip!

This happened about two months ago…but, I became the editor of an awesome DIY/crafty website. Send me any of your ideas via Twitter @DIYLife or DIYLife on facebook.

I made some new drawings of what I wore and of one of our pet bunnies. She is called Oreo. We also have done some craft sales here in the USA.

I just made these 2 pics for my friends brand new twin girls born just days ago!
Their names are Saskia and Luella, hence the 'S' and the 'L'
The buttons are special, my bff brought them back from a flea market in Berlin years ago and the lace in both top left hand corners is handmade by a family friends grandmother and is about 100 years old. They are my first collage picture things and I loved making them! http://www.flickr.com/photos/qotfu/5876234239/

Thank you so much for this opportunity to share. I have recently started a blog about all the things I love, the simple things that make you smile and appreciate life. For me it is red doors, beautiful fabrics, vintage furniture, bees in my fox gloves, interiors, Danish sofas, unique shops, the Adelaide Hills, simple but tasty recipes, pretty gardens… Feel free to take a look at http://www.notthebigthings.blogspot.com. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful week. Kelly

Oh Congratulations! I had to reply to say hang on in there, the sickness does go away eventually – it will! It is very awful though so I feel for you! Soon we will be rewarded with our cutie pies! Yay!

Oh congratulations!!!! Hang on in there, the sickness passes eventually… it is awful though so I feel for you! Soon we will both be rewarded with cutie pies!

Thanks for tweeting about the Hottie Exhibition Opening thismorning Pip.

For anyone else is interested in coming along – it's a wonderful crafty exhibition to raise funds for the Margaret Pratt Foundation to aid in research and support for heart and lung transplants right here in Melbourne.

All the details can be found on my blog here:

I feel like a total dork for posting this, but I'm also quite pleased with it and ready to share! I crocheted a gameboy and a Triforce. Don't know what that is? Follow the link and find out… http://thecolourofmyloveforyou.blogspot.com/2011/06/geekcrochetnintendo.html 🙂

Hi Pip

I recently made some gorgeous aprons from vintage fabrics "inherited" from my Aunty Edna. So now I have a little shop at http://www.madeit.com.au/Jubilee.Road

And today I have been cutting some more fabrics for my 1930's style hand-pieced (yep, I might just be crazy) queen bed size quilt. It is my least favourite part of the process, but I know that the end result will be worth every measurement 🙂

Love getting your emails every day; somethimes it is just what I need to cheer me up.

I've put my first free downloadable pattern on my blog. It's Redmond the Kangaroo and if you like working with felt, and jazzing things up with beads or buttons and like pot pourri then you might like to take a gander at Redmond. He's easy enough to make that it might be a good project for the kids or someone who is perhaps not well and stuck in bed but well enough to have a fiddle with some easy stitching. Redmond loves to hang on a door handle, or in a cupboard or in the dunny if you want.

Hi there Pip!

I am rethinking my attitude towards fashion. I want to have a simpler wardrobe with a focus on quality rather than quantity instead of buying copious quantities of disposable fashion. Part of this new approach involved taking an honest look at the current state of my wardrobe, which I dubbed The Closet Cleanse.

You can read about it here: http://www.angelaosborn.com.au/closet-cleanse/

What a great idea!! I love checking out all the blogs and happenings 🙂

Not much going on here. I been taking pictures of different churches down the street outside my neighborhood. There's like 16 different churches in 3.2 miles (5 km) and no two are alike. I think all the diversity is cool.

Hi Pip!

I've just finished up a felt camera, with a special digital screen on the back, for distracting my little camera-theiving one-year-old! It's doing the trick quite nicely.

Thanks! What a great list of projects already 🙂

Very exciting….I’ve recently been featured at Artsy Shark.

Thank you! Carolyn Edlund for all your hard work and for doing such a great job promoting artists and getting their work seen.

My current project is too new for sharing yet.
But i recently made a MAP of "Brunswick-opolis" inspired by Ms Lincolne's map of Fitzroy.

Type "Brunswick-opolis" into google and all will be revealed.
It is always being updated and (grr) last couple of links show me all the text but not to you dear-readers so am working on getting it fixed.

LOVE to see a map on other folks areas… local secrets/best op shops/best grafitti.

Cant wait to get home so I can read everyone's links!

Hi Pip! I'm so pleased you've asked!

I've just been working on a flyer for my website, We Love Perth http://www.weloveperth.net.au.

It is a web-based guide to Perth, aimed for locals and visitors alike. We're only including places we absolutely totally love and want to promote! The ace Gemma Correll (my favourite illustrator!) has designed the main logo for us, and we will be launching next week on Sunday eep!!!! Soooo exciting!

You can see more about the launch on facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/We-Love-Perth/146463095421533

If you are in Perth, come along for a cupcake and a peek at our site on Sunday 10th July. All details are on the above link or on my blog.

Yay! I'm so excited!! jel x

How cool is this… I am making a winter list of things to do, http://www.se7en.org.za/se7ens-winter-list but actually it is too freezing over here to get out of bed!!! And my kids have been making Fairy Tale puppets for a couple of weeks… we are buried under puppets galore: http://www.se7en.org.za/2011/06/26/se7en-million-fairy-tale-puppets
Lots of love from a totally freezing Cape Town!!!

Thank you Pip for this opportunity to share!

I'm involved in a social program bringing life planning and finance to life to 10,000 young women (18-40) around Australia and setting a ripple effect in motion to raise $1 million towards a microfinance program to help women globally.

The 10thousandgirl Campaign runs Life Planning workshops in country and metro areas bringing together like-minds in a fun and light-hearted environment.

We also encourage women to set up GIGs (Girl Investment Groups), a bookclub like set up, to do the Personal Finance Program.

It is a magical, inspiring community to be involved in to increase our own knowledge and empower ourselves while helping those around us.

For more info or to find out more about workshops or GIGs have a look at http://www.10thousandgirl.com

Hope you're all having a wonderful day and thank you!

Pip, you are too lovely! I just finished a "self care series" on my blog to remind my readers (and myself) how to look out for our wellbeing. encourage you (and other readers here) to check it out and think about how they can be better looking after themselves xxx
