Sweatshop Free Labour

Ever wondered what the Fat Mumma's sweatshop looks like? Here a good example of bags on the go in the dining room :))

There is a tiny peak in to the works in progress, including a few 'coffees-in-progress as well :)

Eco-Friendly kids toys.

This great stuff from the UK came to my attention the other day! Having half my family over there still, I thought I'd introduce you to it, as it's gorgeous looking stuff and oh, so eco!

The model of the business reminds me a lot of what we are trying to do here in Australia with the travelling craft markets, but this idea takes it to a whole new level. It would be great if there was a way of making this kind of thing viable in Australia. Ethikl (www.ethikl.com.au) are trying to do it here, I hope they make it work :)

The cuddly toys (pictured) look cute, feel good and are very reasonably priced – so in this case green doesn’t mean expensive! Most are made from organic cotton and rubber wood from a sustainable source – and where possible made from eco friendly paint or colour. The filling is polyester made of recycled plastic bottles. If you have any UK family or friends, this might be worth a look!!!

Love and Peace
