Thursday night hosted a networking event with Matt Jones as part of their Business Ignites series.

I (Katrina) sat down at the table to be pleasantly surprised to see these table mats.

Last year we were asked to upcycle their old banners that were no longer viable to repair. And these are the results. From street banners to table centre pieces, I sat quietly proud of the roll we played in giving the banners a second chance at marketing πŸ˜† and life.

Last year, we participated in a bit of a think tank with others in industry and education, all in support of bringing courses like this to reality.

If you're part of a forward-thinking business and interested in taking part in this pilot program that is redefining how products are designed, manufactured, and brought to market, be sure to reach out to Kristina from Melb Poly.

And it's done!!
Approximately 6hrs of invisible mending on my favourite linen skirt.

Being able to mend It myself means it was well worth it. As the weather is turning cold I will have to find some stocking to wear it. I can't let 6hrs of hard eye work go unappreciated until Sunmer!!

πŸ’› To all the incredible women in our community, this Mother's Day.

To the mothers β€” thank you. What you do, day in and day out, is extraordinary. We hope today you feel every bit as loved and appreciated as you truly are. 🌸

To the women who have longed desperately to become a mother, your love and your longing are seen and honoured today. πŸ’›

To those who have experienced the heartbreak of losing a child, there are no words. We hold you gently today and always. πŸ•ŠοΈ

To those who have lost their mother, may today bring more comfort than pain, and may her memory feel close. πŸ’›

And to all the women who show up as a mother without the title β€” the aunties, the grandmothers, the friends, the mentors, the women who simply turn up and love fiercely β€” you matter more than you know. 🌿

However, today finds you β€” whether it's a day of joy, grief, longing, or something in between β€” you are part of this community, and we are thinking of you. 🧡

With so much love,
A Fitting Connection πŸ’›

πŸ’› This is why we do what we do.
We don't do this for the praise β€” but when feedback like this lands in our inbox it genuinely fills our hearts and reminds us why what we do matters.

So much of our work happens quietly, one little scrap of fabric at a time. It's often not about what is said but how it's said β€” creating space for natural, organic conversations where curiosity can grow and there's an openness to seeing the world a little differently and discovering the small actions we can each take to reduce our footprint.
And sometimes, that's all it takes. 🌱

What are you doing over Easter?
If your heading towards Euroa you might want to check out RAGE Recycled Art Exhibition Euroa which is celebrating the war on waste by tapping into the creativity, innovation, and talent thriving in our local communities.

RAGE isn't a traditional exhibition. Outdoor sculptural work will be exhibited in the town’s green spaces, and a former garage and community centre will house the textiles, paintings and other artworks. Proving that art can not only be made from waste but is to be enjoyed and admired every day.
