news and bits and pieces


I've not been around much at all in blog land for a few reasons. I've been flat chat with Green Renters working on our upcoming International Student Challenge and attending the Sustainable Living Festival here in Melbourne where we participated in a Sustainable Homes Q&A, presented a workshop on sustainable living in rental accommodation and ran a workshop on eco-crafting (making rag rugs from t shirts and my friend Katherine taught people how to darn socks).

After that I got a re-occuring hideous sinus infection which really knocked me about over the last few days and has made me hopelessly behind in craft world. Hope you are all well dear crafty folk xx

ps-We had a server crash just before the SLF. We lost all our surveys! If you would be kind enough to fill out another one here we'd really appreciate it

An ode to long lost pets of the past....


Do you have a once beloved pet which is no longer with you? Maybe it ran away, got pinched, met an untimely end or simply died of old age?

I'm working on an exhibition on loss and grief and I'm planning to do a embroidery display of pets. Pets are great companions to many of us and I would like to commemorate the role they play in our lives. All pets, whether dogs, cats, bunnies, snakes, rats, birds, whatever!

Do you have a good clear photograph of a departed pet you'd like featured? Email cate@polkadotrabbit.com to find out more.
