After having a week of feeling like I was achieving not very much except driving my kids everywhere (how many of us know that feeling, whether now or in the dim dark past?!) yesterday I had a big win, completing yet another of my five projects. This one is an Elizabethan style embroidery, with beautiful […] Now that I’m back home, around all the other work I have to do and personal commitments, I’m squeezing in working on my submissions for next year’s Beating Around the Bush needlework conference in Adelaide. I have lots of varied ideas, and I’d love for them all to go ahead, but unfortunately they won’t because […] The last two days of classes were Portuguese whitework classes for me. Each day I was teaching two single day classes concurrently. Because the projects were so similar for me, it was not too hard to do, though other teachers had a harder time because their two single day projects were very different to each […] Shipped docked in Noumea. You can see a tiny little container ship behind. The Voyager of the Seas is just HUGE! Following our first day in Noumea, I arose early the next morning for my usual walk, and realised that if there is ever a good time to take photos of a container […] I’m back from the Needlework Cruise! It was an enjoyable experience, though I really missed my family at times. I met some delightful people, and did some new things. The Voyager of the Seas docked in Sydney Docked right near the Sydney Harbour Bridge Me and my ship When I […] Much of last week was spent editing a friend’s non-fiction book. It was an enjoyable experience, and apart from just enjoying the editing, the book itself was a good read. I hope it does very well when it is published. I’ve never formally done that sort of work before. While I have edited my own […] In the next couple of months I’ll be teaching some classes here in Sydney. I’d love you to join me for either of these classes! Up first is a class at Mosman Needlecraft on 9th and 10th March. I’ll be teaching the Portuguese Whitework handtowel from my book. If you’d like to participate in this […] I had a wonderful day yesterday teaching Mountmellick embroidery to a group of lovely ladies at Hobbysew, Penrith. We did the small honeysuckle doily from our book Mountmellick Embroidery: Inspired by Nature. They did a great job, and some were very vocal about how much they were learning and enjoying the class. Look […] It’ll be short and quick today. I’m off to teach a Mountmellick embroidery class in Penrith. We’ll be embroidering a small doily. I’m sure I will have a lovely day sharing embroidery with others! I hope you have a great day too! I know this is going overboard, but this is my second post for the day! I’m working on class proposals for a needlework conference. Would you be interested in taking a class on finishing techniques? Would you like to learn techniques to help you finish your small needlework ornaments and articles perfectly, neatly and exactly? […] |
