Social distancing and needlework – how can I help?

I’ve been thinking about all this isolation and social distancing. Many of us are already required to do these things, depending on where we are in the world. And if you’re not yet, you likely will be very soon.

I am still able to make it to the post office, so if I have stock of what you want, please order, and unless the postal system closes down, I will send it to you.

Being the creative people that we are, many of us are already relishing the quiet, creative time that we are having forced upon us. As time goes on, though, I know I will feel limited by my lack of social contact.

How can I best help you, needlework-wise, during this period? Would you like personal Skype lessons (allowing for the limitations of computer cameras and their focusing)? Or would video lessons help? Or live chat, where you can ask questions? Or do you have some other idea? I’m not making any promises, especially if I or a family member gets sick. But in an ideal world, what would you love from me during this period?

    I’d just love to see more of your work!! Nice to have eye candy to look at to take our minds off the news for a short while.

    And I’m sure everyone would like updates to see that you, your DH and The Reader and The Gymnast are OK. Any crazy hair updates or are they too old for that??

    Hi Julie, showing you more of my work is a lovely idea. Thanks. And I can update you all on the family – good idea. No more crazy hair. That was primary school only, and the youngest is now in Year 11! Best wishes to you, for health and happiness.

    Eye-candy for me, too, please! I have more than enough stitching here to keep me occupied, but I love to see what really skilled stitchers have made or are making.
