CharitableMrsCIf your pod’s name appears in both lists, then double congratulations on getting the message and getting going! 🙂
Interesting comments
Welcome to a new pod on Malta (well, actually Gozo, one of my favourite places!) Bejta Artisan Knit and Natter wrote –
“We are a group of likeminded ladies who meet every Tuesday afternoon at Bejta Artisan, to eat cake, drink tea, knit and natter! We are an international bunch: British, Irish, Norwegian, South African, Australian, German. We are making bags, which the lovely girls who run the gallery can give away to their customers.”Harborough HIT Bags note that they have changed their name (slightly). Now known as Harborough Morsbags, but still doing a fantastic job! You make some wonderful window displays in shops in the town, Harborough Morsbaggers 🙂
Dashing Doers
“Cosby High School’s Science National Honor Society (SNHS) is ready to do some sociable guerrilla bagging!”
🙂 Do it, Doers!I was intrigued by a new pod’s name – Coffee House in the Gardens, so I zoomed in on Google Maps. And there it was – in the corner of a park in the centre of Braintree. Coffee House in the Gardens, both beautiful!
We have two new pods in Edinburgh, registered on consecutive days. They are “Auld Reekie Baggers” and “Lily Pod”, whose admin writes –
“Enthusiastic, inspired crafters who have cushion covers and aren’t afraid to use them!”
That made me smile!Apologies as usual for any omissions or duplications! It gets more difficult as the lists get longer and longer…. not that I’m complaining, of course. 😉
Wowsers to very long lists! I was interested in the Coffee House in the Garden too! Somewhere we would all love to morsbag! Maybe one day! I used to go on road trips to all sorts of pods in my heyday! I loved it!
I like the sound of Moggiepod! There has always been a close affiliation with cats and morsbags!
I have not made any bags for a while although Leicestershire is still buzzing. But what I have realised is a lot of my friends at vintage and craft events have gone plastic bag free after coming across us. I am really proud of that because it shows the power of spreading the word. One such business, Melissa from Simply Vintage appears on the Hacienda tv channel and she said that she didn’t use plastic bags anymore. I reckon their viewing figures are quite high. She also has some fabric for us which will be lovely and vintage! So keep talking I say and thank you to the businesses who have become plastic bag free after talking to a morsbagger!
You certainly made some challenging trips Rosie! I remember accosting you in the main street of our village, thinking you looked as if you might be a fellow morsbagger! (I had also replied to your enquiries about accommodation, so I did have a few clues .. 😀 )
It’s so good to see that morsbags are at the front of the no-plastic revolution, and talking is the key to spreading the word and raising awareness, as you say.
Good work, everyone, however you make your contribution.
That’s a lot of active pods and so many morsbags. Brilliant!
I’m hoping we’ve reached “Critical Mass”, Tori – in a good way!
