The ladies at the shop were like, "Come back anytime! We have about 2 trash bags a week you can have!"

Was not planning on going back for more . . . but the level of excitement here might just warrant a few more trips for the rag bags.

EXPECT MORE
Expect more of our future, with real investment in kids, housing and education.
Expect more in the workplace, with fair pay and stable jobs that build confidence.
Expect more of ourselves, then expect more progress.
If we don’t, let's still expect more: decline, division, insecurity. 3/3

EXPECT MORE
Expect more protection and fairness, because bias grows when no one stops it.
Expect more from our information sources (online & mainstream, and people who post), challenge misinformation.
Expect more climate action, because clean air and healthy rivers are basic, not extra. 2/3

Thanks! Off to go glaze more and see how my adjustments come out!

Thank you! These will have the glazes that I have been developing following the glaze chemistry class I took.

They should be really lovely! 🤞🏻

Thank's Cath!

I have NEW POTS coming soon! And if you don't see anything on my Felt and are looking for gifts, I will be at the Christmas Craft Harvest Market in Parnell on the 13th of December!

I took a middle path of using a CNM for my births in a medically equiped birth centre. Different people value different things and the medical model needs to adapt to create environments that respect that.

It's not free birth or on a drip in a hospital bed. There is a safe middle ground.

Thank you! They still need a bit of work, but I am getting there!
