Portuguese Whitework book cover

Well, I really wasn’t planning on putting this up on the blog just yet. After all, its still way more than six months until the book will be released. But just yesterday I found a black and white picture of it on someone else’s blog. I can’t say I was pleased. However, I can’t withhold […]

temari – if only I had more time

I don’t have much of my own to say today, so I’m directing you to a place where I go to drool and wish. If I had all the time in the world, I’d learn temari. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can fit much more into my life at the moment, so temari for me […]

Hazel Blomkamp

I mentioned the other day that my favourite project out of the latest Inspirations magazine is a footstool by Hazel Blomkamp. I can’t put a photo of it here without breaching copyright, but I can provide a link to a page where there is a photo of it for you to see. If you click […]

embroidery hoop love

Yesterday I finally got my gorgeous new embroidery hoops with stands up on my website. I wanted to really illustrate how versatile and useful they really are, so I took a series of photos ilustrating the different things that make them just a delight to work with.

NB: embroidery and hoop binding NOT included with […]

New-to-me thread

One of the delightful things about teaching at All Threads Embroidery in Brisbane is the fact that Kerryn has such an amazing range of products. In my humble opinion, her range is by far better than any needlework shop in Sydney. She had a few threads that I had never heard of before, including Cosmo […]

Lumidomes now available

Vetty Creations are now stocking Lumidome acrylic ball magnifiers.

Just place the Lumidome (inset) on the surface to be magnified (top picture). The surface is automatically magnified to 3 times its original size.

The ambient light is focused onto the surface, also making it brighter (bottom picture).

Its so simple, yet so effective. There’s nothing […]

Left-handed book in Canada

A few weeks ago I received an email from a lady in Canada who wanted a copy of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. A friend of hers was coming to Sydney on a visit, and had agreed to purchase her a copy while here and take it home to her. The lady wanted to know where […]

Liking Vetty Creations

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 […]

Therefore, today I’d like to point you to the blog (Materialistic) and website of Kelly Fletcher. Kelly is a UK based embroidery designer. She comes from a graphic design and […]
