It’s been a very quiet week with The Gymnast at home with winter sickness. I’ve been writing lots of stitch instructions and doing their accompanying diagrams, so there are more pages in the next book looking more full now. However, I’ve been a few days without stitching, so it is time to do some more. […] You may have noticed the dress I was wearing in the photograph that I posted yesterday. At least one person did, because I received an email saying, “You should mention the lovely dress you are wearing in photo.” This suited me fine, because I was planning on talking about Florence Broadhurst today! The dress […] It still hasn’t got any legs or fine features yet, but things are moving on in the world of my little blue wren. I’ve got leaves and branches to do now, then the embroidery. And then I’m going to have to figure out what I’m going to do with this! I am enjoying it, […] I made some progress yesterday on my blue wren (Sandra Leichner’s Wren block, but with my own blue wren instead of her brown one). Not a great deal of progress, because other things got in the way yesterday, but some! It’s a little hard to tell what much of it is. The long bit […] On Friday the fabric I had been waiting for so that I could start a new embroidery arrived (it had been out of stock for a few weeks). On Sunday I was finally able to find the time to do something with it. I printed out my pattern that I designed some weeks ago, and […] The two books are making progress together. For “Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada” I have been continuing to work on promotional material, and for the new mysterious book I have been continuing to embroider, research and think through ideas. I personally like the idea of wearing hand embroidered clothing. It is embroidery that gets […] Last night my fingers needed something to do. I think I’ve been missing stitching, since finishing off the book. I went and found the old Hardanger runner I’ve had floating around my office since I discovered it, unfinished in a drawer last year. Until I’ve figured out what book I’m going to do next, this […] I think my sewing machine has died. My lovely mechanical Bernina bought when I was about 15 and doing Textiles and Design at school. It’s a bit sad. It has lasted me nearly 25 years, but I don’t think it’s under warranty any more. 😉 Yesterday morning I realised that my daughter and I were […] We are about to start summer school holidays here. For us, Christmas is not only the end of the year, but also the end of the school year. This means that public schools get at least six weeks holiday over the summer, and private schools often get a little more. Our girls go to public […] I thought you might like to know that I have finally completed the embroidery on my tablecloth! YAY! I still have the hem to do, which will be properly (and laboriously) hemstitched, so that will be a few more months work probably. I have also been making scrunchies (hair tie thingys) for a gym fundraiser. […] |
