A few Tuesdays ago I posted on here that I was going to be away for a little while, firstly teaching in Hobart, and then on a writing retreat. Not all went to plan… On the Tuesday that I posted, I was descending into a flu-like illness. It wasn’t the flu, but it was pretty […] As you would know (because I have been extremely quiet on here lately!) the Vetty Creations office was closed for about 3 weeks. I needed time with my family, and I unashamedly shut the business during that time. Well, I was actually not even here. 🙂 We were away on a family holiday, and I […] While looking down my Facebook feed this morning, I found a link to this article on The Dumbing Down of the Quilting and Sewing Industry. Oh, yes, I do so agree. I know that mistakes slip through in my books and patterns sometimes, but it is my strongest desire that they do not! One of […] Sorry for my silence lately. I have been rather snowed under with preparation for classes of all kinds (ones I am teaching and ones I am learning from!) and travel. I have to start preparing for the upcoming Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair too, because that is fast bearing down upon me!

It was an enjoyable experience, and apart from just enjoying the editing, the book itself was a good read. I hope it does very well when it is published. I’ve never formally done that sort of work before. While I have edited my own […] Teaching Kids to be Business Savvy, Sydney Morning Herald As someone who has created my own business, I found the above article very interesting. I never planned to start my own business when I left school. I imagined I’d be working for someone else, and for a time, I was. However, when I was at […] When I went away overnight the other day, I suggested that I would get about 1.5 hours of stitching time each way, there and back. I calculated wrongly – actually it was more like 2.5 hours each way! However, due to the fact that I kept making mistakes, I didn’t end up having very much […] I spent parts of the weekend doing some new stitching. It is a style I am exploring as a possible book subject. I am loving every minute of working it! Of course, I am not going to tell you what it is any time soon (I’ll be keeping that particular cat in the bag for […] As you will know from reading my recent post about having itchy feet, I’m wanting to learn a new-to-me style of historical embroidery for the purposes of writing a new book. So how do I decide which one to pursue? For me, the process often starts with going to my local embroiderers’ guild and trawling […] |
