Well, not quite. At the time I normally post, I’ll be on a train from Sydney to Singleton to visit the Singleton Embroiderers for a two day Mountmellick class. I’m not taking a computer with me, so I won’t be posting while I’m away. Its only quick. You won’t miss me. 🙂 And I’m sure […] I found out the other day that the exhibition Ballet Russes: the Art of Costume at the National Gallery of Australia has been extended until May 1. It was supposed to end last weekend, and the poster I have on my wall above my computer tells me this every time I look at it! The […] I think sometimes I am a bit obsessive. I have spent the last few days designing and redesigning my stand for the craft show. I have found some really interesting display products. And of course, I’ve wanted to incorporate them all into my stand! I’ve found retractable roll pull up brochure stands – lightweight and […] When I was at uni I studied graphic design. The first year of my course was combined with the similar design courses (fashion and textiles, interior design, and industrial design). It meant it was a very general year, and quite frankly it was really boring! We all wondered whether they deliberately planned it that way […] I’ve been absent without leave the last two days. You probably only noticed if your comments hadn’t been approved yet. We went down to Canberra to see the National Gallery of Australia’s Ballets Russes exhibition. It was wonderful! Of course, I couldn’t take any photos, so I’m sorry that there’s none to share with you. […] In the evening after my daughters have gone to bed, I’ll often do some embroidery or read. We don’t have a TV, so I don’t have to waste hours in front of it. Some time back a few of us recommended some books to each other. One of the books that was recommended to me […] Today is the last day of school for the year for lots of children in New South Wales (a state of Australia). And then it will be school summer holidays for about 6 weeks. I guess this is quite a bit different to what those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are used to! All […] My back-ordered catalogue for the Valentino exhibition landed on the doorstep the other day with a loud and heavy thump! Its huge! I haven’t opened the parcel; just passed it on to my husband for him to give it to me for Christmas. A friend who did fashion design at uni recently travelled from Adelaide […] You’ve probably heard of the amazing jacket – Faith – that was made over the last few years as a reproduction in the style of the beautiful Margaret Laton jacket. I really enjoyed following the progress of the project over time. Trish Nguyen, who was the coordinator for the project is now leading The Jacket […] We’ve just come back from a weekend away in Canberra, which is Australia’s capital city. We were visiting friends, and had a most wonderful time with them. On Saturday we went to Floriade, which is a free exhibit of very beautiful cold weather flowers such as tulips galore. Its an annual exhibition that’s been on […] |
