Needlework cruise

Yesterday I received a whole pile of brochures for the needlework cruise that I’ll be teaching on in February next year. As I’ve never been on a cruise before, it was a bit of an eye opener to realise the strange and unusual activities that will be available to me when I am not teaching.

I’ll be able to go iceskating… Who would have suspected?!

Just to make sure all those arm muscles get a great workout before stitching, I’ll be able to go rock-climbing!

There will be glittering ice shows. What is a glittering ice show? My husband has said that I *must* attend this, because he wants to see photos!

Of course, for people who come on the needlework cruise, there’ll also be 4 days of needlework tuition. (And for me there’ll be 4 days of teaching people the delights of embroidery!)

More information on the cruise can be found at http://www.needleworktours.com.au/index.htm

    Iceskating, on a ship, in the middle of the sea. Now I’ve heard everything.
