It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts. I’ve been a little busy doing dreadfully hard things like cruising, then getting back to normal at home, and getting on with some work. 😉 Firstly, take a look at the embroidery on the linked page and try to keep your jaw shut. I […] Something you may not know about me is that I used to work as a picture framer when I was studying at uni. I spent several years doing this, in a variety of businesses, and then eventually taught picture framing at the local community college. Whenever needlework came in to be framed, they’d save them […] On my travels round the needlework internet this week (no, there isn’t an internet specifically devoted to needlework, though wouldn’t that be nice?!) these are some of the noteworthy things I’ve seen: In preparation for the coming Easter season, I’ve been inspired by some embroidered Easter eggs. First, we have Luzine Happel’s gorgeous Schwalm embroidered […] I’ve found a few things on the internet this week that you might be interested in.

We have been swimming at the local pool most days, and I have been gradually regaining my fitness after a very non-fit year seeing The Gymnast was too injured […] I changed the main photo on the Vetty Creations Facebook page on Saturday. Then I thought, “Why should they get all the pretty pictures?” so I’m sharing it here as well. […] If you haven’t yet seen it, I have an article in the current issue of Inspirations magazine (Issue 83) entitled “The Velvet Weavers of Venice”. Quite a number of people have told me they really enjoyed the article. As a follow up, for those who would like to see a bit more, I’ve just found […] Last Tuesday in Adelaide, I had two goals. One was to set up for the Beating Around the Bush market day the next day, and the other was to do it with enough time to spare so as to be able to visit Eastern Silk. I had heard of the shop, and I knew people […] Into Craft blog featured a profile of me and my new book “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery” last week. You can read it here. At the time of writing this, there was also a very lovely comment at the bottom of the article, from a happy customer. (I’m not expecting that her comment will disappear, rather that […] |
