The The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion will be arriving here today! I am eagerly and anxiously awaiting the delivery of oodles of boxes of books. Its going to be about 35 degrees Celcius here today, so I am really hoping that they come early in the day before it gets too hot. I have a busy […] Yesterday I took delivery of my new gift cards, featuring images of embroidery from my new book The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. They are gorgeously bright and colourful – like the book really! The images are details of (L-R) breton stitch, double feather stitch, square and double chain stitch, and spiral trellis stitch. They are available […] Another new product today: The Mighty Bright booklight. But we don’t use it as only a booklight – it makes a fabulous portable light for doing embroidery by! I’ve used one of these, and found it to be absolutely wonderful. At the Beating Around the Bush mini market day, these little lights just walked out […] I’ve added a new product to the Vetty Creations website: maxiskeins of Mountmellick thread for Mountmellick embroidery. These skeins are equal to five of the regular skeins, meaning that you get a much larger sized skein. It seemed to me that some people would appreciate a larger skein, so here they are! The easiest […] Yes, that’s a REAL book in the photo above. Its not a version of the digital file from which the cover was printed. Its the real deal! So I’m even more excited today as the advance copies of The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion have arrived! I was unsure that I was going to be home when […] The Left Handed Embroiderer’s Companion is now available for pre-order! (yay!) The book will ship in January 2010, but if you order now, your copy will be posted as soon as it arrives! Keep in mind that you’ll also be able to get it from your local needlework shop in early 2010. If they don’t […] I flew in from Adelaide this afternoon, very tired, but having had a wonderful week. I was teaching at Beating Around the Bush, Country Bumpkin’s needlework conference in Adelaide, Australia. The first day, I taught a single day class on merezhka, and two in the class actually got theirs finished. The second two days were […] Exciting news for our New Zealand readers: Vetty Creations books by Yvette Stanton (me!) are stocked by Capital Books in Wellington. Yes, I know that you can always buy direct from me here in Australia, but wouldn’t you like the wonderful opportunity to see each of the books “in the flesh” before you purchase?! If […] A few people have asked what’s going to be in my left-handed embroidery book, so now that things are a bit more finalised, I think its time to spill the beans. I’m still not sure about the title, but “The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion” is my current top choice. The idea is that this is […] Happy St Patrick’s Day to you all! I have a little Irish blood within me, and I do love Mountmellick embroidery, which is of course Irish. I have decided this is a great day to celebrate all things Irish (particularly Mountmellick embroidery) and am therefore very pleased to announce that we now have our new […] |
