What now?

by Bette_H, in category Uncategorized

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!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… 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

Stitching Again

by Bette_H, in category Sewing Basket

Fricassee has been very good for my stitching mojo. I really want to get back to that pesky rabbit. But I have some other projects that currently need my attention. A couple of months ago I discovered that the Craft Alive event Pakenham Stitch! was coming back again this year. And major win for my… Read More

Elizabethan Fantasy

by Bette_H, in category Embroidery, Sewing Basket

A year or so ago, I went back to the Embroiderer’s Guild of Victoria, after letting my membership drop.  I went primarily to meet up with other Cabinet of Curiosities ladies.  Some of these ladies were also working on another beautiful casket – ‘the other casket’, one designed by the talented Maree Talbot.  They started… Read More

Website updates

by Bette_H, in category The Needlework Boutique

Since Friday I have been adding more charts to the shop.  It has been kind of fun and interesting.  As I go I have been coming across designs that I had forgotten about, and that I am thinking of doing.  Such as Eliza Adams – a design by Primitive Things.       Or Summer… Read More
