Heading to New Zealand

Today I start heading in a New Zealandly direction, and the Vetty Creations office is closed. I won’t get to any more orders other than what has already come in, and therefore will have to send any that come in today, upon my return. All orders and enquiries that come during my absence will be attended to upon my return. There is a note on my website advising of this.

I’m really glad that so many have told me that you’ve been enjoying my series of sneak peaks of the stitches in “Hardanger Filling Stitches” and other embroideries from my back catalogue. I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to continue that while in NZ, as even though I can schedule posts in advance (most of the time I schedule the bulk of a week’s posts in advance) there’s a time factor involved.

I still have heaps of preparation to do for my classes before I leave (with the very short lead time for this trip, it has been a bit of a struggle to get everything done in time!). So if I get to scheduling posts, I do, and if I don’t, I don’t. My plan is to have some internet access in NZ, but while I’ll hopefully remember to take photos in my classes and post them, I don’t think that I’ll have the chance to do much else.

So there may be a little break in the proceedings for a few weeks, and then I’ll be back, probably very tired but wonderfully inspired and beaming with delight following my time with talented stitchers in New Zealand. Being with fellow embroiderers and sharing our passion is always life-giving.
