In the past week I have had not one, but three very nice reviews of my book Elegant Hardanger Embroidery sent to me. It has been lovely reading people’s comments about why they love the book so much. I wrote it 10 years ago now, which seems pretty mindboggling, actually. (I’ve been writing books for […] Today will be a busy day photographing needlework and either sending the photos off, or sending the needlework off. All the projects are for upcoming classes, some soon and some more than a year away! Some of the photos will need to be styled shots, some not. Some will be closeups of detail, to go […] Yesterday was Australia Day here. We celebrated two birthdays with a lunch in the backyard in the sweltering heat. My dairy-free, gluten-free and egg-free cake worked well – rising, which was one of the most important aspects of it – and tasting great. A swim in the afternoon completed the day, then home for leftovers […] This is the last week of the school holidays here, and its going to be hot. It will be filled for us with last minute things to get done before school starts: dentist’s appointments, doctor’s appointments, and maybe a trip to the beach as my daughters really wanted to go some time during the holidays […] Today I will show you a couple more ornaments from our Christmas swap.

One made […] I’ve been spending some time over the last few days adding “like” buttons to my website (you can see one at the bottom of this post). I haven’t done all the pages yet, because it takes time, but I’m getting there! These buttons mean that you can “like” various pages of the Vetty Creations website […] A few days ago, a regular reader of this blog and long-time correspondent of mine, Shay, sent me some Hardanger blog links. (Thanks Shay!) There was one that I just have to share with you. Its the blog of a lady in Spain, Mamen. Unfortunately I don’t read Spanish, but you don’t need another language […] To follow on from my post the other day about my Hardanger ornament with the organza overlay, I thought that you might like to see some of my other projects that feature this technique. If you’d like to join our Christmas ornament swap, all the details can be found here. First we have a needlecase, […] To help get you in the mood for our Christmas ornament swap (which will definitely go ahead as we already have a number signed up), I thought that you might like to see some of the ornaments that I have designed and made in the past.
