I had a lovely day yesterday working on my next book. It was so much fun coming up with new designs, and getting things on to the pages of the book. I’m not yet saying exactly what the book is on, but a description might help to keep you all happy: its another historical whitework embroidery, [...] I have been just itching to get started on my next book, and have been procrastinating with all sorts of other worthy things for long enough! So I made it my aim to finally get going the other night. I transferred the folder where I had been collecting things for the book, over to my new [...] Recently I have received several emails from people expressing their desire for more merezhka patterns as a follow on from my book Ukrainian Drawn Thread Embroidery: Merezhka Poltavska. I would love to be able to do something about this, but I am really battling with the fact that there is still just one of me! [...] My husband brought the local newspaper in from the letterbox on Thursday morning. As I ate my breakfast, I paged through it. A little way in, (definitely further than page 3…) I was shocked to turn the page and find myself smiling back at me! A long-lost article about me and my left-handed stitch dictionary was [...] Thank you to all those who have commented on my idea for a beginners Hardanger booklet.

I’ll see if I can do it from [...] Just in case you’re not a reader of Mary Corbet’s Needle’nThread (and if you aren’t, you should be!), my guest post went up yesterday. It’s about writing needlework books, but specifically evaluating ideas for embroidery books. And if you are visiting from Mary’s blog, welcome! I hope that you stick around. You can subscribe to White [...] I was talking with the ladies in my beginner’s Hardanger class yesterday about my “depressing” list of books that I have to find time to write. (Its only depressing because it will take me 7-14 years to get through them all!) They wanted to know if any of them were Hardanger. I think there was [...] I sat down last night and wrote out a list of ideas for books I want to write. Unfortunately there were no less than seven. And how many of me are there? Just one… Oh dear. Considering that it often takes me a year to write a book, that’s the next seven years all taken up. And that’s not [...] Yesterday morning when Belinda and I were carting stuff out to the car, a truck pulled up out the front with what looked to be council workers in it. I said “Looks like some guys have come to dig up the footpath or something.” Then I noticed their woodchipper on the back, and realised they [...] |
