Over the past week I’ve been buried in paperwork, doing my tax from last financial year. Given that this financial year ends on 30th June, once I finished last year, I moved right on to this year! It is dull, boring and not my favourite thing in the world! In the little bits of time […] While I was away, the advance copies (copies sent ahead of the main shipment for final approval) arrived on my doorstep. While there is a certain excitement about this, there’s also great trepidation: what if I find a mistake?! I haven’t found any mistakes yet. Thankfully! It is a little bit exciting that […] 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 […] I can’t hold myself back. I’ve already started work on my next book. 🙂 I’ve done lots of planning, some research (over many years), and even some stitching. Let’s be clear here though, this is a book that I have now started three times, including this start. Each time the book idea changes just a […] At some point, you may wonder (especially if you’re Sardinian) why I didn’t put “Punt ‘e Nù” (which means “knotted stitches” in Sardinian) anywhere in the title of my book, if that is what the book is about. It is true, I didn’t. However, it was very carefully planned. When I name a book, […] |
