Creative Networking in the suburbs...

Many thanks to all who came along to soak up the local crafty vibes at last week's Creative Networking Nights as part of the BrisStyle Craft Caravan's inclusion in the June 3 Racecourse Road Carnival.

First stop was Brisbane's Hamilton Ward where Rebecca, Steph, Freda and Dawn took us on their creative journey's. We were encouraged to join crafting groups, think about exhibiting our work, inspired to re-purpose materials and other found objects and of course, to say "I can do that" to any new project that came our way! ( Thanks Freda)

Next stop was Bracken Ridge, Marchant and Deagon Ward's creative hub of Sandgate....and what a centre of inspiration it was! This time we were there as part of the BrisStyle Craft Caravan's inclusion in the June 2 Zillmere Festival.

Fifi and Linda , Judie and Vicki  wowed us with their creative journey's and taught us how to shimmy, what a weighted blanket does and how easy it is to showcase your wares through retail.
