No embroidery today so I guess that means I got you here under false pretences....sorry about that. There are buttons though, does that count? I painted yesterday afternoon. I really enjoyed it but b...
I have been making funky puffs for edges and adding lace to edges...this lace added to an edge of rouleau loops. I want to paint, yes...I actually WANT to paint so if its possible time will be set as...
I did warn you that I had developed a liking for these kind of backgrounds...but never fear, it wont become a permanent ever present feature as I have very few paintings of my own. There are two here...

Just playing with a little sample....seeing how it looks next to a sketchbook page. We have such such bright sunshine here that paper, pages seem appropriate. They are stark, clear, white.....
I made a pocket, you know me....I love my pockets. This pocket is on my new white cloth, the cloth for the person who doesnt have the internet...remember? I know you do because there were gasps of ho...
Embroidery takes place in the evening as the daytime is chaotic. Books strewn everywhere, sketchbooks and samples. When I embroider I like to think I am serene and calm...not during the day....I am w...
Remember the video from yesterday? Well I told you I had embroidered, embellished and titivated......oh yes, bullion knots a plenty!! This is a great piece of cloth to just pick up an put down as and...
I had a yearning to play with cloth. I used vintage cloth, printed cloth and surfaces that I created myself for extending embellishment. I pinned them together in full view, sharing the process and t...
Work is continuing on my white cloth, the latest additions being a tiny piece of patchwork and some cutwork petals with lace. There is still a long way to go, probably two more sections to piece, sur...
The latest titivated section of my new white cloth. Cutwork holes with snippets of my ridiculously cheap vintage lace frothing out from inside. This is the section with the wonderful tiny label that ...
Im sorting out, picking, choosing, deciding, trying to establish some kind of order within the chaos that is my stash of work, supplies, cloth, thread....you know what I mean. I know you do because I...
Just a small corner of my white cloth. Four cutwork love hearts with a lace insert. I bought this lace in London from a vintage shop. It was ridiculously cheap. There are yards and yards of it and it...
Extending my sketchbook page with needle weaving, cutwork, French knots and thumbnails whilst thinking all the time, trying to collate something in my head that is hiding. Never mind, I will continue...
I have a plan. Then again I always have plans that take forever to come to fruition, my May newsletter being a prime example! Although we are still in May so technically I havent failed on that one.....
The sketchbook page and the embroidery are connected. Can you tell? If you cant then I have failed. The embroidery is inspired by the page...after looking, considering and doodling I came up with pad...
Were working on seams in class...edges. I have been taking pictures of wrapping cloths next to toe wraps...colour next to white. What a contrast. The white is current, from now, yesterday, last week....
Two flowers, twelve petals and numerous bullion knots, last nights endeavours for my cloth. Class will be de listed tomorrow. I am hoping to start on my May newsletter this week... Im still waiting f...
I am spending hours with white which I love and I have to say...struggle to put down...and occasionally I have a colour break, looking, sampling and thinking. This is from yesterdays colour and patte...
Embellishment so far on my cloth for class. I love this cloth. I love how it feels in my hand when I am stitching. I love how it all seems to fit together. How each piece compliments the other. If yo...
More work on my white cloth for embroidery school....time consuming. Five prairie points and three layers of stitch resulting in a very lovely, (if I am allowed to say that myself?) edge for a sectio...
Theres a proper French knot love in going on here. I am surrounded by them. The white knots are for class, my cloth. The sugary knots are a progression from the circles...I can move from a circle to ...
Wow! Thanks for the reaction to my sugary post yesterday.....might be more of that tomorrow...meantime I have been home to white. White padded applique, white bullion knots, white French knots, all d...

If you have taken one of my classes you will know that there is a table I use.....a lot. It is always covered with stuff, in progress, finished, cloth, pins...you know. Well this is another table, ye...
More work on white, surfaces and seams. French knots, bullion knots, edges of lace not caught down but left free giving little glimpses into whats below. Covering beautifully embroidered vintage clot...
spending a quiet weekend with sketchbooks for inspiration and cloth to embroider.....
My eye doesnt like the computer.....hence the zillion unanswered e-mails, sorry! Instead I have been pottering with white, creating new sections for my new wrapping cloth. Bullion knots, web stitches...
My second piece is now finished and I love it. I hope you like it....do you? and in case you missed it there is a link in the post below to a great feature about my work. Thanks Harpa....
