Back from an excellent weekend in Brisbane last night. I’d been at AllThreads Embroidery teaching Portuguese whitework on Saturday and yesterday. We had so much fun! We started off the class with me showing the photos I took of the embroidery and the town in comes from in Portugal, from my visit there in 2009. […] I’m thinking about new projects for my Portuguese whitework book, and I’m thinking about project applications. We probably all have our walls full of embroidery by now (and its expensive getting things framed), so what are some other items that you like to make when decorated with embroidery? I’m thinking cushions pillows bags runners […] Recently, as you may have noticed, I’ve been enjoying making clothes. I’ve been enjoying planning and shopping for fabrics for those clothes. I’ve been enjoying designing and creating new embroideries for my new Portuguese whitework book and upcoming classes. I’ve been enjoying making food that fits with my own and others’ dietary/allergy requirements. Now, if […] I’ve been steadily working on my next Portuguese embroidery for the book, and I know I say this all the time, but I am just loving it! It is one of the prettiest styles of embroidery that I have ever seen. It is just so appealing! Everyone that I show the embroideries to, comments on […] Thank you all for your feedback on aspects of the rainbow dress over the last few days.

As pink is her favourite colour for the highest percentage of the time, we’re going with that closest to her […] There’s something very satisfying about a piece of crisp white linen, just begging for some embroidery. Add to that a (reasonably) newly designed pattern, some soft white thread, and a needle, and you have a project made in heaven. So much potential! I love starting new embroidery projects. Yesterday I started a new one for […] All systems are go for my Brisbane Portuguese whitework class in February. I’ll be teaching the project shown right, at AllThreads Embroidery on the weekend of February 26 and 27. (My flights are booked!) There are still spaces in the class if you would like to join us. I’m really excited about teaching this style […] This year I have some things planned for Vetty Creations. Of course I acknowledge that my best made plans may not eventuate (who would have planned to have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome a few years ago?) as other things may get in the way, but its good to have some plans and goals. This year I’ll […] This time last year we were in the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia, enjoying the magnificence of God’s creation. It is really very strange to think that our Ethiopian experience was a year ago. The past year has been a really good one for me both personally and professionally. We had our fantastic Ethiopian sojourn, I […] We had a lovely Christmas. Church in the morning was the happiest celebration of Jesus’ birth that I have ever been to – it was great! Then my MIL’s for lunch with those of the family who were around, and all the cousins enjoyed playing together. It was a warm day, so their highlight was […] |
