Friday relief!

On Friday I finally finished all five projects, their associated paperwork and photographs, and sent them off to Country Bumpkin as submissions for Beating Around the Bush 2014. I have no idea when I might hear back from them. My guess is that it could be some months.

They will have a lot to do, assessing the range of projects that have been submitted from all the many tutors, making sure there are no large overlaps, but a good spread of styles and projects. Then they will get back to tutors and let them know which ones have been selected.

By the time the actual conference rolls around next September, it will be a loooong time since I conceived of these projects!

This week I will be working on more illustrations for a training manual for Traumaid International, and preparing for two classes in Victoria this weekend. I’ll be teaching two Portuguese whitework projects; one at the Mornington Peninsular group of the Victorian embroiderers guild, and the other at the Melbourne HQ of the guild.

It is quite some years since I taught in Melbourne, and I can’t even remember what I last taught there. Perhaps it was Mountmellick or merezhka…?

We are also preparing for next week’s Crazy Hair Day at The Gymnast’s school. As you will remember from previous years we are ultra competitive about Crazy Hair Day! This year we have another creative solution in mind. 🙂
