I spent yesterday almost entirely working on a Mountmellick project for The Cruise (of which I cannot yet tell you any more). It was quite lovely to spend the day doing that. It feels like quite some time since I have done a new Mountmellick project! Its been lovely to be playing with stitch combinations […] The third class that I will be teaching at Beating Around the Bush is a Mountmellick embroidery class.

Once they’re done, the first draft will be complete. […] This morning I have received the files for some historical photos I’ve requested to use in Portuguese Whitework.

I took delivery of the cupcakes I had ordered from a friend so that I could use them as props for one of my photos. They were absolutely gorgeous, and I was really pleased with how the resulting photo of […] I feel like a lot of my dreaming time was filled with making bullions last night.
