Needlework cruise update

I heard from the needlework cruise organisers on the weekend. Enrolments in my classes are going very nicely, and it looks like the classes will be reasonably evenly split between Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick embroidery. I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, and a small square panel). It looks like it is all panning out very well.

I’ve never been on a cruise before (I have travelled between Ireland and Wales on a boat, but that’s not really the same!), so I’ll probably have to make sure I have something anti-seasickness with me, in case that is a problem!

But I am also really looking forward to having some days relaxing and enjoying sunshine. I’ll need to take a stack of books with me to read, I guess. Hmmm, though I suppose there will be an onboard library. I’m looking forward to meeting some tutors I’ve never worked with before – that’s always enjoyable. I always get questions from people like that about self-publishing! (And I never mind answering those questions.)

If you’re thinking that a needlework cruise sounds like an excellent idea, hop on over to the website for more information. The cruise isn’t until February, so you still have time to sign up!
