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 [...]

I think I told you a little while ago that I had made a provisional decision on what book to write next, just so that I had something to get on with. I didn’t really see the point in sitting around for the next six months just wondering about which one to do next. And [...] While in Adelaide, I had the opportunity to launch Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães. Months before, I had talked with Fiona from Country Bumpkin about the possibility of doing this, but I wasn’t sure that it was going to be possible until I knew that the books were here in Australia in my possession, [...] Now that I am back from Beating Around the Bush, the HUGE mailout begins! Today I will start sending out pre-publication orders of Portuguese Whitework. There is a huge pile of orders to go out – thank you to everyone who pre-ordered! – so it will probably take some days to get through them all. [...] The advance copies of Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães by Yvette Stanton have arrived! The book really and truly exists now! We just have to be patient for the rest of them to arrive at their destinations so that you can have your very own copy! Don’t forget that you can pre-order your [...] When you have a book printed, there is the option of having what are called “Advance copies” sent. This means pretty much what you might think it would mean – some copies are sent in advance of the main shipment. Two copies are the usual quantity. I got an email from my printers last night [...] I think I have decided on what the next book is going to be. I’m not going to say what it is yet, because the decision could change. But I figured it was better to get started on something, rather than just sitting around for months pondering what my decision should be. Someone very wise [...] I’m turning ideas over in my head for what book to write next. I could write another Hardanger book, a book of Mountmellick projects, another merezhka book, another stitch dictionary or two, or… I have heaps of ideas, but figuring out which one to do next is the difficulty! Do you have any preferences? [...] Over the last few days I feel like I’ve been doing a bit of everything! Last Thursday, when I was at the Powerhouse Museum with Lisa the colour proofs of my book arrived. I’ve spent the last few days checking them, finding more mistakes (most of which were my doing!) and fixing the mistakes. When [...] I got an email very late last night from the printing company that’s printing my book, querying four pages where they had found problems. One of the problems I had checked for already, so I’m not sure how it slipped through, but obviously it did! The other 3 problems were things that I had not [...] |
