Thank you to all those who have commented on my idea for a beginners Hardanger booklet. It has been interesting reading why you think it would be helpful to you – such as that you’d like to use a booklet like that while travelling. This makes me think that you’d like it in a smallish [...]
I was talking with the ladies in my beginner’s Hardanger class yesterday about my “depressing” list of books that I have to find time to write. (Its only depressing because it will take me 7-14 years to get through them all!) They wanted to know if any of them were Hardanger. I think there was [...]

I received a lovely email this week:
Hi Yvette,
I am an avid fan of yours!
I had started embroidering again after my three sons left home four years ago and had strong interests in learning Hardanger, stumpwork and goldwork. I do most of my learning and sourcing out good learning books via the net. So I was [...]

Sorry about the lack of communication. We went away to Canberra (Australia’s capital city) for a few days, and then I’ve been getting stuck into more embroidery for the book since my return.
On a much more exciting note for you lovely readers, for those who love hardanger, at my hardanger Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hardangerhowto/) there is [...]
On Wednesday last week I received an order from Gail in Queensland. As is my custom, I follow up all internet orders with an email telling them when their order will be posted, the address it will be sent to etc, and asking where they learned of Vetty Creations and or our products. Later in [...]
