What now?

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Isn’t it amazing how quickly time flies. I was just looking at when I last posted. THIRTEEN months ago! Where does the time go? I must admit, I have been primarily focused on my teaching, while my blog is primarily focused on my stitching. I am hoping that with the new financial year, I will… Read More

I am back…

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

I love to blog.  But you couldn’t tell that from the amount of blogging I have done over the last 5 or 6 years.  It is minimal. I don’t like blogging about personal stuff, and there has been a lot of that going on.  Divorce, kids finishing school, moving, working, rebuilding yourself after such a… Read More

Dreaming

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Over the last 2 years I have often thought of my poor abandoned little blog. As I have struggled to deal with a massively increased workload during the day, I wanted to post, but so often I did not know what I wanted to say. I am still in that frame of mind. 2018 was… Read More

Sunday Sewing Basket – Feb 19th edition

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

In January I finished the Stacy Nash project – and will post a photo of that once I have washed and blocked it, so I decided to pull out an old UFO –  one of Lizzie Kate’s Double Flip series.  I have started on the second chart – Love.  It is a quick stitch, when… Read More

Sunday Sewing Basket.

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Over the past few weeks I have been focused on a long term project, the Maree Talbot Elizabethan Casket.  Last weekend, and again Tuesday and Wednesday I attended classes at the Embroiderer’s Guild of Victoria for the 3/4th and 5th panels.  Oh my goodness.  Such fine work.  I am absolutely loving it! I have also… Read More

New Year, New Goals

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Okay, so I am a little late to the party.  It has been kind of busy around here lately.  But more of that later. I am a big believer in goal setting.  Where do I want to be in 12 months time, 5 years, even 10 years?  With so much emphasis on setting goals instead… Read More

Ann Womack

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket, Uncategorized

After a long hiatus from my needlework, my recent decision to take the shop to Pakenham Stitch! has brought my stitching mojo back. Over the past 6 or 7 weeks I have been working on Ann Womack, from Shakespeare’s Peddler.  Originally stitched in 1838, Ann Womack is a gorgeous monochromatic sampler consisting of 5 alphabets,… Read More

Weekend Wanderings

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Whew!  Today has been a busy one.  Taking kids to various events – one to the hairdresser, another to a party and the 3rd to work – kept me out of trouble all morning!  Oh, and an … interesting… trip up Mountain Highway (one word – cyclists!) to collect family photos from Tony Rawson Photography… Read More

Making Me Happy

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

Oh my!  I knew I had been busy, but a month! Making me happy this week: Victorian school holidays have started.  And I could sleep in this morning. I have completed one class set of assessment tasks. The school presentation balls are finished for another year.  I love doing them, but boy do they take… Read More
