busy, busy

Those who are eagerly awaiting my new book on Portuguese embroidery will be pleased to know that I have been really getting stuck into writing the stitch instructions for it.

I think I’d sort of been putting it off, feeling a little bit lost with what needed to be explained. However, with my class up in Brisbane on the weekend, where they all would have liked to buy the book yesterday, I came back very enthused. I decided the best thing to do was get in there and do it, as otherwise its just not going to get done. Funny that!

When I start writing, I find I keep thinking of more things that need to be explained. While that means more work for me, it means you get a much better product! I think I’m going to have to carry a little notebook everywhere with me, because I keep thinking of things on my walk to school in the afternoon to pick my kids up. (Nothing like fresh air to get the brain working!)

So the book is progressing well, and all those who have been reading the blog for a while will be pleased to know that I am regularly backing the file up in case it gets corrupted again. 😉

Oh, and as a sneak peak, the project shown underway in my hoop (yesterday) is one of the projects for the book.
