Brr, it's winter

Welcome to the second issue of World Sweet World, the magazine for makers and doers. This season's issue is chokka full of fun projects, articles, and ideas on leading a creative and sustainable life. Split into two parts, it has beautifully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for making cool stuff, followed by articles about people, places or things that we hope you'll find inspiring.

Here's a sneak preview of issue #2:

For anybody who didn't make it to Craft2.0 in Wellington in July, there's another one coming up, on Saturday, 23 August: Craft2.0 in Christchurch at Our City O-Tautahi. World Sweet World will also be there with a stall, so, come along and say hi.

It's winter, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. In issue #2, 'Making a Fuss', we'll show you a few things fun you can do to while away those long winter nights: make a friendly fire to get cozy, get baking with walnuts, get warm with your personal 'hottie', and for gardening early-birds, kickstart your veggie-garden with a simple greenhouse.

The 5th of June was World Environment Day, and in this issue you can read up about some locally made clothing labels to find out what the "buy NZ made" fuss is all about anyway. We've got an article about craftivist, Zoe Thompson-Moore, and we've been talking to artists who've teamed up with Fair Trade for Environmental Justice.

By the way, we are working hard on the 3rd issue, and you'll be able to get your hands on it on 15 September.

Stay warm!
