Last weekend I was able to get back into the sewing room to continue with the makeover. My first job was to pack away all of my stash into the wardrobe. Initially looking at the wardrobe and the stash, I was quite concerned, but then I realised that most of it had come from a… Read More

Framing…

by admin, in category General

Here she is, almost complete. When I ordered the Needlepoint Inc. Silks, I did not take note of the correction, and missed one. It will be ordered when I place my next order for Needlepoint silks (which will be a big one as I will also be ordering the silks for Christmas at Hawk Run… Read More

Haiti Disaster Relief

by admin, in category General

Almost 12 months ago, the world came to our aid following the worst bushfire tragedy that we have ever experienced. The generosity of so many, especially from countries with so little is something that I, as a Victorian, will always be grateful for. It does not matter if we are a rich country, or a… Read More

It’s hot…
