Sorry for the lack of exciting posts. I’ve been buried in stitch diagrams, resaving them one after another for use in my stitch dictionary app. Occasionally I’ll get a batch that go through quickly, but usually it is a slow, laborious, uninteresting process. I’ve also been packing cartons of books to be shipped to the […] Yesterday I finally managed to get back to preparing files for the app. Truthfully, I had been putting it off, because resaving files into the correct format for an app is complete drudge work! The process was taking too long, so I knew that I needed to streamline it. I had been mulling over for […] Yesterday morning I installed the first test build of my stitch dictionary app on my phone. It wasn’t entirely a success, but its a start! I can see that in time, with a lot more work from both me and the developer, it will be excellent. This is a new process for me, creating an […] Occasionally I have comments from people wanting to know more about the embroidery examples in my books, The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. People seem to want to know the story behind them. For those of you who are familiar with my historical whitework books, seeing my stitch dictionaries for the […] Yesterday I went to a really interesting training day about getting the most out of exhibiting at consumer shows. It was run by Expertise Events, who run the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair that I’ll be exhibiting at in just less than two weeks (Stand L42 – come and visit me and purchase your own […] Yesterday I introduced the idea of a smartphone app based on my two books The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion. I also put it on my personal Facebook page (to which anyone can subscribe to my public updates), and my Vetty Creations Facebook page. Because of this, I’ve had feedback streaming in […] One afternoon a couple of months ago, I was sitting in traffic in the car, listening to the radio. For some reason I suddenly had a flash of brilliance: why not make my stitch dictionaries into apps for smartphones? I don’t even know that they were talking about apps on the radio. I don’t think […] Yesterday I met some a couple who work in prisons on a Pacific island, helping to rehabilitate the male and female prisoners (different prisons) so that they can go back to their communities on release, and start afresh. Their work is having great results, which is an encouraging thing to hear. I learned that the […] Yesterday the review we’ve all been waiting for went up on Needle’nThread: Mary Corbet’s review of “The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion”! Thank you Mary, for such a lovely review! Both The Left-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion and The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion would make excellent Christmas presents to yourself, that friend who enjoys embroidery, or that young person who […] Periodically I go to various book-selling websites and check out what people are saying about my books. I had a lovely surprise yesterday when I found three new reviews for The Right-Handed Embroiderer’s Companion on Amazon.com. The most glowing one is from Janet Wright: Wow!!!! I have finally found the perfect embroidery book. I am […] |
