Because the advertising for next year’s Beating Around the Bush conference is now out, I have already had a few enquiries for the kit for the Hardanger Bookmark that I will be teaching. I think it is lovely that people are keen to try this project, but the kit is not yet available. I have [...] Yesterday’s post about red thread brought an amazingly long and detailed reply from Suzy. If you haven’t read it, go and check it out! Suzy knows a lot about red thread! She talked a lot about Cottage Garden Threads, probably because I mentioned the other day that I think I need to know more about [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] In preparation for the craft show in June, I’ve been ordering in new stock.

The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion: a step-by-step stitch dictionary was delivered yesterday afternoon. That means I will be posting all orders today, and all future orders will be posted as they are received. The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion came about because The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion was receiving such rave reviews from both left and right-handers, [...] Not much to say today. I haven’t been well – been sleeping, knitting and keeping warm. But I thought that you would like to know that failing dock strikes (and they haven’t happened around here in many a year) or such things, my shipment of The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion should be arriving some time this [...] I was fortunate to get my hands on some gorgeous single ply silks from Stitches and Spice at the craft show. Naomi from Stitches and Spice is a good friend of Kirsten‘s and therefore my friend too by default. She has a lovely new range of single ply silks out, and I was quite [...] Yesterday morning when Belinda and I were carting stuff out to the car, a truck pulled up out the front with what looked to be council workers in it.
