What's on your workdesk? Wednesday 516!

Hi Everyone!

So I managed to schedule one post while I was away on holiday but couldn't do Mister Linky till I got back so not sure if anyone has read it...I look forward to catching up with everyone's posts later!

So last week the Podcast I was a guest on back in march for Stitchery Stories was released while I was away. Its a relaxed chat with the host Sue about the challenges of writing a practical embroidery book and designing projects that will hopefully inspire my readers to start making their own embroidered boxes. If you fancy something different to listen too while you are crafting then I definitely recommend giving this podcast a listen, not just my episode but any of the other wonderful episodes that take your fancy!

You can listen to my episode directly here or to listen to some of the other episodes click this Link or go to any Apple or Android Podcast App and search for Stitchery Stories.





So I don't have anything new on my workdesk this week since I only went back to work this morning but I have a couple of things planned to get started this week; including this silk shading of a Fairy Wren which I had planned before I was offered my book deal. So fingers crossed I should have more to show you next week!

Happy WOYWW and thanks for Visiting!

What's on your workdesk? Wednesday 514!

Hiya Everyone!

Yay, I managed to find some time to do my first scheduled post! So I don't have anything new on my workdesk this week since I'm away so I'll show you a photo of my latest make; the box for my introduction to Box making kit.  The design for this is based on a photograph of a Nigella Flower that I took in my garden last year. I wanted to keep the embroidery quite simple so that it is suitable for a beginner and can be completed during a 3 day workshop.

A couple of weeks ago I recorded a podcast for Stitchery Stories which I believe will be released next Wednesday the 17th of April so if you have a bit of time while you are crafting please pop over and have a listen; not just to my story but any of the others you fancy listening to as well...since I'm away I wont be able to listen to it till I'm back so I can avoid knowing if I did Ok or not till I come back 😂😱🙉🙈😉 

I have to say I was very nervous and also tired (notice I'm getting the excuses in now 😜) since I had been woken up four times in the night by my son who as you will know from my last post had Chicken Pox but thankfully Netflix kept him quiet while I did the recording so at least he didn't interrupt it!

Thanks for Visiting!

Hiya Everyone,

I know I've been absent for a few months again but I've been super busy with a few last minute edits to my book....which is now finished and due to be published on the 22nd of April....Yay!! 

I'm so thrilled with how its all come together and hopefully you will all love it too!

I've also been working on my website and finalizing kits and other products to sell via my online shop...if you would like a signed copy of my book it is for sale via my website £22 + UK Postage, its also on Amazon UK. If you are outside of the UK please email me via the website as I currently only have UK postage available and I will let you know the cost of postage. I am still working on my worldwide postage costs; just getting the shop set up as it is was enough of a headache 😵😬🙈. I will be away on a cruise for the next couple of weeks so please bear with me if you do email, as I will not have Wifi on board, so I may not reply straight away but I promise I will catch up as soon as I'm back!

I was so excited to receive my advance copy a couple of weeks ago and I've been meaning to share it with you all (if you are on Instagram or Facebook you will already have seen it) but the same day my little man came down with chicken pox so I've been playing catch up with my to do list ever since, luckily he didn't get it too bad! 

So this week I finished the sample for my Introduction to Box making kit which you can see on my laptop; I am just editing the photos ready to start the instruction booklet. I also have a few other things on this week as well as packing and wrapping up my son's 5th birthday presents (how is he 5 already?!?!?) but I will try to make some time to schedule a couple of posts for while I'm away even though I wont be able to post the link on Julia's page.

Thanks for Visiting!
