I had a lovely Easter, away with members of my extended family, at a conference. I was on the tech team, learning new skills such as how to operate a semi-professional video camera. Not something I ever expected to learn to do, but when you’re rostered on to do that, its sink or swim. I think I managed ok!<\/p>\n

One of the talks at the conference touched on forgiveness. I have often struggled with what forgiving someone actually looks like. It was suggested that forgiveness is different to pardon. While pardon means it is as though the act never happened, forgiveness means there are still consequences, but the forgiver turns from being “against” the transgressor, to “for” the transgressor. It was a new idea for me, and very helpful.<\/p>\n

It is now Easter school holidays, and I am squirreling myself away and getting stuck into preparing for next week’s Beating Around the Bush.<\/p>\n

I am really looking forward to the Stitchers Fair on Wednesday, where the plan is that my new book, Portuguese Whitework<\/a>, will be launched! However, it hasn’t been finalised yet, so I have no idea of the details. I’m rather in the hands of the organisers there!<\/p>\n

On Thursday and Friday I’ll be teaching my Mountmellick Lily Cushion class. We will have lots of fun playing with stitches. I always enjoy teaching Mountmellick classes!<\/p>\n

For those who will be at Beating Around the Bush next week, please do come and introduce yourself to me. I don’t want you to be shy – I WANT to meet you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
