Just arrived back from my day class at the Royal School of Needlework (RSN) at Hampton Court Palace and I have had a fabulous day. Last October I did a day class on Whitework with Lizzy Pye which I enjoyed so much I signed up for some more courses, the first of which was today.…

Last October I did a Goldwork workshop with the Royal School of Needlework (RSN) at the Knitting & Stitching show at Alexandra Palace. Even though you can’t compare a 1,5hr workshop with a day class at the RSN, let alone one of their certificate course I learned quite a lot of techniques in that short…

Based on my past purchases, Amazon had been recommending Edward’s menagerie by Kerry Lord for ages. However, I only really looked at it when I spotted it on a bookshelf at the Glasgow branch of Waterstones last August.

I discovered Wolcafé at the Handwerkbeurs in Zwolle, which I visited a few months ago. On my blog I have written a post about the stands in visited and the items I bought, among which some ‘handmade’ leather labels from Wolcafé.

From the cities of Melbourne and Sydney to the wildlife on Kangaroo Island and the Grampians and from the spectular…

Yesterday, my mum and I attended the Handwerkbeurs in Zwolle. It is the largest needlecraft show in the Netherlands with about 220 exhibitors. This means it is just over half the size of the Knitting & Stitching show at Alexandra Palace which hosts about 400 exhibitors. However, both shows have a very different feel. Whereas the…

This week has been a rather quiet week, craft wise that is. Not by choice but because I have been ill with the bug that been going around, which meant that I have not been able to do any embroidery for the past few days. Today I was happy to feel much better and to…
