Made a start on my RSN diploma applique project today. Probably not much to show for it, but there was a lot of behind the scenes planning of the design as you need to do everything in the right order and think about whether stitches are going to be covered or not. This is the first background layer, which will be part of the sky and part of the river. Tomorrow I will make a start on some of the back hills, and on the padding for some of the others. #rsndiploma
First RSN diploma class of the week. Did a window and worked on the pattern merge for the sky. It is so odd to suddenly see a different pattern emerge. Lots of homework: finish the sky, the hills, and the spiral straircase so I can work on the detailed bits during my next class in May. Talked lots to the tutors about the various design elements of my blackwork and the applique, which I will start on Tuesday. All in all a very helpful and productive day. #rsndiploma
Loving the ‘Brighton Display Box’ by @rivieramaison I got for my craft room. It looks perfect on top of my printer’s cabinet. It is just right for displaying my small collection. It is almost a mini museum: all I need is some little numbered tokens and an explanatory text and I am off!
When my boyfriend suggested a day out in Amsterdam, I just couldn’t pass the chance of a second visit to the @antiekcentrumamsterdam They had even more lovely needlecraft items on display and I settled on these two lovely Mauchline ware items. I actually got them from the same dealers as last time and I actually remembered to jot down the stalls to help you on your visit. So if you are at the Antique Centre definitely check out stall A12 (Ruben Aardewerk) and stall F7 ( Objets de Vertu) for a lovely collection! #antiqueroadtrip
A last little bit of stitching today before my class next Sunday. Really looking forward to my ‘stitching week’ at the RSN. Hope I will be able to make some progress on my blackwork and applique projects and 🤞 it doesn’t involve much reverse stitching. I will be in on Sunday (23 feb) for my blackwork class and on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (25-27 feb) for my applique classes. Will I see any of you there? #rsndiploma
Love the Peak District! My boyfriend and I have spend many a wonderful holiday there. We usually stay in Parwich, which is less than half an hour from Bakewell, a small market town we visited during most of these holidays (most time to enjoy a Bakewell pudding as well). #mauchline I just had to snap up this antique Mauchline ware bobbin holder and needle case depicting Bakewell when I discovered these on Ebay! So many lovely memories from these two beautiful antique needlecraft items.
While storm Ciara is raging outside I managed to do a bit more on my RSN diploma blackwork today. Just one weekend left before I am back at the RSN.... Hope to get some good pointers on this project and make a good start on my appliqué. #rsndiploma
Working on the design of my RSN diploma applique project. I will make a start on it when I am at the RSN at the end of this month so I can have two lots of homework to keep me busy until my next visit. #rsndiploma
A bit more progress on my RSN diploma blackwork this weekend. Can’t wait for my class in three weeks time as I really need the tutor’s advice on some of the shading and the details on the monument. I would like to get a few more areas started before though so I can get as much feedback as possible on all of the different bits as possible so I am well set for my next batch of homework. #rsndiploma
