Thank you to all who commented on the blog, on FB or emailed me privately yesterday in support of my blog post. I really was terribly unsure about posting it. Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth, and I wasn’t sure if this was one of those cases. It was encouraging to hear from others who felt that what I had to say was very worthwhile. Thanks.<\/p>\n
With the craft show over, I’ve resumed working on my next book. It is lovely to be doing it again. After having both left- and right-handed stitch instructions in the Sardinian book, I am thinking that that is what will be expected of my books from now on. It really will make them terribly useful for everyone, so that is what I am planning.<\/p>\n
In the daytime, apart from filling orders, I’ve been working on the stitch diagrams and instructions, and in the evenings I’ve been stitching while we watch old episodes of “The West Wing”. We don’t have a TV (and haven’t in all the years we’ve been married) so we’re catching up on old shows via DVD viewed on a computer. We’ve almost exhausted our local library’s stock of British crime dramas (they seem to specialise in them!), so we’ve moved on to our first American show. We’re quite enjoying it, and I get a lot of stitching done while I watch\/listen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
