From February 10th next year, I will be teaching Portuguese Whitework and Mountmellick Embroidery on a cruise […]

video preview update

I had a lovely day yesterday. Not only did I help my dad install some gorgeous new windows in our enclosed front verandah (the old ones quite literally fell apart in our hands as we removed them!) but I did heaps of work on the video preview for “Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães”.

In […]

The Magic Flute and BATB classes

Last night we took our girls out for a huge treat (a treat for us too!). We went to see Opera Australia’s production of The Magic Flute at the Sydney Opera House. It was amazing! As you can expect, apart from the opera itself, I was transfixed by the costumes. Wow! Full of colour, shapes […]

I love my printer

I got an email very late last night from the printing company that’s printing my book, querying four pages where they had found problems. One of the problems I had checked for already, so I’m not sure how it slipped through, but obviously it did!

Class proposals

Over the next few days I have to get stuck into some class proposals. I’ve had a few letters over the past months asking for class proposals, but just haven’t had the chance to do anything about them. Thankfully the submission dates have not yet passed.

video preview under way

I spent a bit of time on Friday and Saturday working on a video preview of “Portuguese Whitework”. It’s been quite fun.
