craft city

Wonderful things are happening in the craft community of Brisbane right now.
Today I went along to one of many workshops being hosted by Bleeding Heart cafe as part of the 'Saviours of the lost arts...craft workshops' This is a series of free workshops covering all kinds of crafty goodness. Crochet, tatting, knitting, gem work, stained glass making, craft and business, fabric dyeing, etc, etc. I am a big fan of Bleeding heart cafe, I am partly biased because they stock things made by me, like this bag down here...But I would love them anyway! They are a profit for purpose business with their fingers in so many pies I won't try and list them-just go to their site to learn more about them and also to see the Saviours of the lost arts craft workshop programme...

Today's workshop was about Internet and crafting(hello, hello) and was really informative and also informal-I love learning in comfy spaces, with lovely women, don't you?

Also happening in Brisvegas this week is this the Lovely thing makers craft market...Friday night from 5.30 til 8pm at Avid reader bookstore. As usual it's free, takes place in the courtyard with music and lovely food and wine by donation and has a great atmosphere...

That bag is gorgeous! I'm hoping some of those crafty things will be happening when I'm over in July!
