I had a lovely morning yesterday taking photos of my tablecloth outside at a relative’s place. I always find it interesting seeing how long it takes me to start to “see”. By this I mean starting coming up with interestingly composed photos. Normally I start off with a whole raft of really boring looking photos. […] Yesterday I took some photos of The Tablecloth for the Portuguese Whitework book. (If you’re wondering why I’m calling it The Tablecloth you’ll need to read older posts to learn how it seemed to go on forever and ever!) I got some photos that I am very happy with, however I’m thinking that I’d like […] I haven’t really got anything to say today. But I suppose that I can tell you that things are moving ahead with gaining permission to use some photos of real, historical examples of Portuguese embroidery in the book. We edged closer yesterday, and the person who I’ve been arranging this through said that they were […] I called my favourite local needlework shop yesterday to check whether they had the balls of DMC pearl cotton that I wanted. As they did, and it was a rainy day I decided to catch bus to the train station, rather than walking. I checked the bus timetable, and found that the bus would be […] I spent some time on the weekend taking more photographs of embroideries for “Portuguese Whitework”. I took delivery of the cupcakes I had ordered from a friend so that I could use them as props for one of my photos. They were absolutely gorgeous, and I was really pleased with how the resulting photo of […] Just in case you haven’t been reading the comments from Friday’s post, I’m making this into a post of its own, because it contains Really Useful Information. After showing you my damp stretching set up on Friday, Kathryn asked for a better description of “spongy mats” – a great question! I have heard of people […] Yesterday I finally completed a little square mat that’s been hanging around for ages. If you have been to any of my Portuguese Whitework classes or saw me at the Sydney Craft and Quilt show back in June, you’ll have seen it without a hem. Well, now it finally has a hem! I mitred the […] I had a great time taking photos yesterday. The photo of the handtowel was an absolute gift, with it all coming together easily and quickly. I’d borrowed some props from my sister, and with some rummaging through my own cupboards, came up with a really nice arrangement very quickly. I wrote my instructions and did […] I spent some of the last few days photographing embroideries for “Portuguese Whitework”. It has been going well, and is lovely to see the new photos going into place in the pages of the book. There is something quite delicious about seeing it all come together. Anyway, mustn’t hang round here too long. I’m off […] Last night it was very hot here – the minimum was 27 degrees Celcius (about 81 degrees Fahrenheit)! When it is hot, I tend to have weird dreams. Last night was no exception. I dreamt that I had cut a reasonably large section from the edge of the tablecloth that I recently completed for my […] |
