I spent the day working on a new Mountmellick project yesterday in preparation for a class next year. I had such a lovely time sitting there stitching away all day. It is to be a cushion, and the plants on it are forget-me-nots and daisies. Very pretty, dainty flowers! I tried out some new stitch […] The Reader and I started our CIAM pattern making course on the weekend. We drafted front and back bodices, according to our measurements. In the two weeks before the next class we have to use one of the patterns we drafted (we drafted more than one, because there are different dart placements possible, especially for […] As you know, my younger daughter, Rainbow Girl loves gymnastics and trains many hours a week. Potentially, she and the other girls in her training squad could one day end up at the Olympics – that’s what they’re headed for, though who knows if they’ll make it! To celebrate the Olympics, the gym has declared […] I went back to the doctor’s yesterday, knitting in hand to be prepared for a wait in the waiting room. The nurse walked past and commented on what a good idea it was to bring something with me to do. Currently I’m working on the knitted dress for Rainbow Girl, and it is progressing well.

When the P plates flew off the car as I went up the street, when I accidentally got a customer’s name very wrong in an email, when I misplaced quite a number of things throughout the day, and then when I […] I thought you might like to see a photo of my much enjoyed Schwalm project. It is designed by Luzine Happel, and I am working it to test her left-handed instructions for it. It is extremely enjoyable to work, and oh, so pretty! The gym tear down went much quicker than anyone expected yesterday. I got there at 8:30am and there were about 6 guys working hard, having already taken down all the uneven bars sets. My first job was to start ripping up the velcro joining strips on the matting between the beams, and then to roll […] Over the weekend we continued with removing the paint from the brickwork at the front of our house. It was slow work, and it is looking very different. We’ll get there some day! In my down time, I got stuck into doing some more work on Luzine Happel’s left-handed Schwalm project. And I must day […] Yesterday I went to my local needlework store to purchase some thread to go with the fabric I bought at the craft show. This will be for one of the projects in the new book. Ever since I saw the fabric and considered the possibilities for it, I’ve been itching to get started on it! […] I learned yesterday on Facebook that Shingo Sato is coming to Australia! “Who is Shingo Sato?” I hear you say… Shingo Sato is a Japanese fashion designer and teacher of the Transformation Reconstruction technique. I used his techniques last year when I created Rainbow Girl’s rainbow dress. If I ever have the time, one day […] |
