A couple of things.....

# Today I was prompted by a lovely lady to stop procrastinating and set a date for a crochet workshop, so it has been done!   There was no putting it off any longer, on Saturday in a couple of weeks I will be hosting a little workshop making a harlequin tapestry crochet washcloth.  

It should be fun I hope! 

So if anyone would like to spend a couple of hours learning this technique with me and a few other crafty peeps, please feel free to email me or message me on Facebook for more info.  

The cost is $20.00 and I will be making a yummy afternoon tea too!  

I am located on the Westernport side of the Mornington Peninsula, so if there are any Peninsula peeps out there, it is nice and close for you!

# Have you heard about the project that Kate Berry and Rowan Anderson are trying to get off the ground?  It is called The Nursery Project and is about getting people involved in where there food comes from, think veggie gardens, fruit trees, small scale farming, keeping animals, cooking and lessons, workshops and demonstrations.  Setting up a farm where all this can happen.  The plan is to encourage people to own their own food sources and get their hands dirty.  Sounds like a natural extension to the kitchen garden revival of recent years.  I hope it is successful, there is so much satisfaction in growing/rearing/processing/cooking your own food.  You can read about their ideas over here.  Good luck you guys!

# There is still a few weeks to go in the Softies For Mirabel campaign, if you would like to make a softie for a child this Christmas you can read all about it over here.  I am going to get my skates on and make something cute for a little someone who might get a smile out of hugging something soft.

So that was a few community announcements for you today, I think they are worthy causes (well, my workshop is just a bit of fun really!) and it is nice to share good things that are going on out there, we certainly hear such a lot of bad news these days!  

Have you heard of any good things going on in your neighbourhood recently?

Talk soon
