I belong to an online needlework group where the subject of flights and needlework comes up fairly regularly.

If you haven’t yet seen it, I have an article in the current issue of Inspirations magazine (Issue 83) entitled “The Velvet Weavers of Venice”. Quite a number of people have told me they really enjoyed the article. As a follow up, for those who would like to see a bit more, I’ve just found […] Last Tuesday in Adelaide, I had two goals. One was to set up for the Beating Around the Bush market day the next day, and the other was to do it with enough time to spare so as to be able to visit Eastern Silk. I had heard of the shop, and I knew people […] Last Thursday night I arrived back from my research trip in Europe. It was wonderful to see my family again. We’d all missed each other! In the time I was gone, I managed to take over 1000 photos, which The Reader and The Husband have since sat through. The Gymnast gave up well before the […] Well, I’m all packed (Except for my phone. Mustn’t forget that!) I’ve braided The Gymnast’s hair into cornrows so she doesn’t have to worry about it for most of the time that I’m away. (Hopefully she’ll get a week out of it!) I’ve RSVPd to various things for the kids. I’ve backed up my computer […] Tomorrow I’ll be heading off on my next research trip. It’s more than a little bit exciting! I’m nearly all packed, and as you’ll know if you’ve been reading this blog for a while, I travel with only cabin luggage where possible. This time I’ve managed to keep the weight to about 6kg including the […] You all did a really bad job of convincing me that I would be able to stay here in Australia and do justice to the cultural and historical research that I want to do for my next book. The thing is that when we travel, we travel as a family. We love sharing the world […] It was so interesting reading the responses to my post on the blog and its repost on the Vetty Creations Facebook page yesterday. Thank you for all the responses – they were very thought provoking. Some of you really tried to think laterally about how I might be able to not go on my research […] I am making progress on the next book. I’ve received emails back from two of the museums that I contacted saying that they are willing to help me, by answering any questions I might have. I am so very grateful that people are willing to do this for me. I understand that most museums are […] When I visit a town or region for book research, I like to take photos of the environs. They help me to remember what the place was like, and they are great to show to others so they can get a feel for a place as well. I started taking these sorts of photos after […] |
