With the Vetty Creations Christmas ornament swap underway, I’m already thinking about Christmas. I hate leaving things to the last minute – I do not thrive on stress as some people do! Here in our house, and probably many others, it is common practice for various family members to affix a list of Christmas present [...] A new review of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion has been published by Karen Platt. An excerpt: As with all Yvette’s books it has superb attention to detail… This has just become my number one embroidery book.

This book is a visual survey of some of the delights of the V&A’s textile collection. It includes a couple of essays, then a listing of the plates with sizes and [...] The Dnieper River is the fourth longest river in Europe, and flows from Russia, through Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. One of my customers recently wrote to me about a wonderful cruise that he and his mother had taken together on the Dnieper River and Black Sea. His 86 year-old mother explored the [...] Today I have a book review for you of “Historical Fashion in Detail: The 17th and 18th Centuries” by Avril Hart and Susan North.
