I had a lovely Easter, away with members of my extended family, at a conference. I was on the tech team, learning new skills such as how to operate a semi-professional video camera. Not something I ever expected to learn to do, but when you’re rostered on to do that, its sink or swim. I […]

I’m spending a lot of time at the moment preparing for Beating Around the Bush. I’ve got kits to organise for my class, and stock to prepare for the Market Day. So if I seem a little absent from here over the next week or two, that is why! Today I’ll be organising for the […] I’ve entered my Portuguese Whitework tablecloth in the Sydney Royal Easter Show this year. I dropped it off at the showground a couple of Saturdays ago. We were late in the day on the last day of drop offs, so I could see what was there in the way of competition. There didn’t seem to […] We’re getting a lot closer to Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference, Beating Around the Bush, which runs from Saturday 14th April to Friday 20th April, in Adelaide. I’ll be attending Beating Around the Bush as a teacher, and also as an exhibitor at their Village Fair. Sadly, two of my classes will not be running, but […] On Friday I invited my sister and my mum to come with me to the Craft and Sewing Show at Rosehill Racecourse.

Let’s look at those numbers: Australia’s population is about 21 or 22 million. 27% of the population over 15 years […] Yesterday Lisa, visiting from Canada, and I visited the Love Lace exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum here in Sydney. I had SUCH a wonderful time. The first thing was that Lisa is a lovely girl, and I really enjoyed talking with her, sharing our similar loves of needlework, and expressing our horror of the same […] Today I am interrupting the Beating Around the Bush class descriptions to remind you that tomorrow a visiting Canadian stitcher and I, will be visiting the Love Lace exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum here in Sydney, and that you are welcome to join us. We’ll be meeting in the foyer just before the ticket desks […] Its still summer holidays here, though school goes back in a couple of weeks time. Yesterday we went to see the Harry Potter exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum, here in Sydney. The oldest three of us are Harry fans, and the youngest of us – not much of a reader – knows just a little […] I got a message from Lisa from Canada just recently, saying that she was going to be in Sydney at the beginning of February and would we like to meet up? Coming to the end of the book, I’m all for the idea of having some “play” time after all this hard work, so I […] |
