We were asked a few times at Craft2.0 today whether the ‘badge action mystery swap‘ was still on.

Yes, it is! And here are some examples of badges:

Earth Hour

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Hi, Earth Hour 2009 is getting close. It’s on this Saturday, 8.30 (www.earthhour.org), and World Sweet World will be switching off. You too?

Ideas? Anyone? Anyone?

Friday, March 13th, 2009

I’m just finalising the line-up for Issue 6 (it comes around faster for us than it does for you!). We’re after a couple of simple projects for the quick and easy section. So although we’re obviously looking for good ideas, they don’t have to be complex – basically you need to be able to explain how to make them in a paragraph. So if you have an idea, get in touch, because we’re honestly really keen to showcase your work!

Thanks – Looking forward to seeing what people come up with!

ps we’re also always open for longer projects and stories too, so if you have something you’d like to see published, have a read about the ins and outs of contributing.

You will be missed, issue #2

Friday, March 6th, 2009

Issue #2, we miss you dearly. You have always been great company, and not let us down. Your green houses and hotties will never be forgotten. Thanks heaps for being around – you’ll live on in the houses of your owners.

issue5 cover

Lots of news since the last post! Issue 5 is out now so get your mitts on a copy. You can buy it from any of our usual lovely stockists, and for those of you who’ve been finding us tricky to track down, we’re also now in all Whitcoulls stores too. We’ve got heaps of cool projects again (well, of course I’m going to say that): Making your own fondue set, making blankets out of curtains, bottling light (read it to believe it). We’ve also got an article on the lovely Heike Theis of minu, a piece on fairtrade coffee, and Rebekah Kelly lays out the options when it comes to dealing with your organic waste (we’ve even got a how-to on making your own worm farm).

Seeing as we launched in Autumn last year, that officially makes the mag one year old. Hooray and happy birthday to us (even though we already celebrated our “business idea” birthday at the end of last year. The more birthdays and celebrations you can squeeze into a year the better, I reckon).

We’ve also been celebrating for other reasons. Not to turn this blog into a me-fest, but those with eagle eyes may have spotted in Issue 5 that Hannah Gardiner no longer works for World Sweet World. Thomas and I got married last weekend, so you’ll now see Hannah Schickedanz plastered throughout the mag. Another hooray for us. Sorry to everyone whose mags have been a little late in the post over the last couple of weeks – now you know why!
