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 […] Thinking longer term than the cruise I’ll be going on in a few weeks, we like to travel light. There’s no need for me to travel light on the cruise, though of course I won’t be taking ridiculous amounts of stuff! I WAS going to say “…I won’t be going overboard” but that would be […] In about 2 weeks’ time, I’ll be off on the cruise on which I will be teaching needlework. I’ll be away from 10th – 19th of February. During this time, I will not be able to attend to any orders for Vetty Creations products. (Just a bit hard to do that from somewhere in the […] Well, here we are in 2013 now. 🙂 Hopefully this year will see the production of the phone app versions of my two stitch dictionaries. (That makes it sound like it is someone else’s responsibility, but let me assure you it is very much my responsibility. It’s just slow going…!) And then I very much […] Yesterday I spoke with one of the people associated with Operation Foundation in Fiji.

I’ll be teaching a two day Mountmellick class (pomegranate oval doily), and two one day Portuguese Whitework classes (a bookmark, […] Last night I arrived home from a really enjoyable weekend in Coffs Harbour. I love going out to country guild groups to teach, as you’re always so very appreciated there! We did the Portuguese Whitework panel from my book (p14) in a relaxed two day class. I started off by showing them a slideshow of […] This afternoon I am heading to Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast. Tomorrow and Sunday I’ll be teaching Portuguese whitework embroidery at the guild group there. Yesterday I loaded a whole heap of pictures that I took when we were visiting Guimaraes (sorry, I have no idea how to put the little wiggly […] After a wonderful 10 or so days away in Tasmania with my family, culminating in two days of classes at A Stitch in Time at Hobart, I’m finally back home and catching up with emails, orders and enquiries. We all enjoyed Tasmania very much. For those of you who are not familiar with Australia, Tasmania […] Yesterday I received a whole pile of brochures for the needlework cruise that I’ll be teaching on in February next year. As I’ve never been on a cruise before, it was a bit of an eye opener to realise the strange and unusual activities that will be available to me when I am not teaching. […] |
