New Rugs, a new organisation and national TV coverage

These are the three big things that happened this week.

First the carpets arrived on the back of a truck.

All 320 odd carpets from the new shipment arrived this morning and are now packed in my garage, with the exception of 10 rounds which have been sent to Cairns via greyhound.

There are lots of brilliant colours and people will love them as usual! This time we have 150 small .4 x .5m mats as well as the new .45 x .65 mats and the new .65 x 1.6m runners as well as the usual rounds, runners and some ying yang designs.

Nearly Legal.

After years of operating under partnership agreements we've taken the plunge and on Friday we lodged our application to become a legally registered organisation.

To be on national TV

Kerrie from ‘Compass’ (ABC tv show) called me for the second time this week and confirmed that they will be shooting CfC for one of their programs when we are in Sydney in the first week of December.


Next week i’m lucky enough that i'm being flown to Sydney for an interview by Foundation for Young Australians. They want to set up a program here that i participated in in Washinton D.C in 2006 (http://www.youthactionnet.org/) and are interviewing all participants.

For me next week (and the weeks after) is all about calling retailers and delivering rugs. Next Friday we'll be setting off in the van for Melbourne and Sydney to deliver rugs and help set up some market stalls.
