Hello everyone,
just wanted to tell you that the Good Morning Show is running a small World Sweet World Magazine subscription giveaway competition. Unfortunately the show was yesterday (oops, we missed it – sound asleep – has anyone seen it?), but the competition is closing next Wednesday, 24th of September, and you can win one of five one-year subscriptions. So, be resourceful, and fill out the TVNZ competition form.
Cheers,
Thomas
We’re looking forward to catching up with folk at Spring Knack – a cute and crafty market at Berhampore School. Come down and say hello, check out the lovely babycentric stuff from Lone Moose and freerangebaby plus lots more Wellington peeps. Oh, and also, there are passionfruit cupcakes. Need I say more?

And here it is: issue #3. Get it in shops around the country, buy one online or just open your mailbox (if you have subscribed). Have fun :).

Craft2.0 is always an absolute guarantee for a genuine, creative and fun craft event. And the last Craft2.0 in Christchurch a couple of weeks ago was no different (uhm, two weeks ago? Where did the time go…? Must have been busy.). In coproduction with felt, it was a perfect happening, showcasing lots of clever handmade creations and products made from recycled materials. The market was held in Our City O-Tautahi, an old(ish), cute brick building next to the Avon. The whole event was smoothly run and beautifully decorated, and there was a coffe cart right outside, so everything was just perfect.
By the way, if you’re a happy owner of a Webstock Mini ticket, you are in the lucky position to experience the fine blend of craft and all things web at Craftstock, at the Paramount, Wellington, tomorrow between 6.30 and 7.15.

I’ll skip the “oh we’ve been slaving for hours, haven’t slept in days” stuff. It’s all true, of course, but seeing as Issue 3 went to the printers on Monday, we should really be caught up on sleep by now. What this post is REALLY about, is that Issue 3 is hitting the shops on Monday 15 September! Hoorah! For all you keen-beans, why not subscribe now, and then you’ll get it in the mail bright and early? Sounds like a plan to me!
Hello everyone,
last weekend we went to the Craft Market at Pataka. What a great market – Pataka is always worth a trip, but the art gallery lent itself beautifully to a setting for a small market.
We saw a great number of talent, and some exciting cases of upcycling, for example
underpants made out of off-cuts material, paper baskets made out of newspaper,
jewellery made out of bicycle tubes, and pillows made out of old blankets.
Craft markets are a great way to get a feel for the scene and to stimulate your
senses – and this weekend Craft2.0 is on in Christchurch, at Our City O-Tautahi. Come all and have a look!
See you tomorrow,
Thomas
Congratulations to Judith Stanley from Paekakariki! You won our first subscription draw, and therefore this lovely lamp from Ponoko (see post below). Have fun!

The Knack Market is fun! It’s small and intimate, and there are lots of interesting people to meet and things to see. We’re always amazed by all this creative talent out there just working away on their fashion collections, paintings and jewellery. Next time YOU should come around, too!

Here is an opportunity to look at and get your hands on New Zealand art for an affordable price. Let’s have a look!
Hi everyone,
