Been busy & Christmas 2018 approacheth!

Hi All,

Been a while since my last post, back in June.

Phew!

Where has the time gone???

We have been moving my in-laws, stuff with our kids, teaching & creating.

Plus feeding lots of people.

I have been creating kits to sell - my original Cross stitch designs & Free Form embroidery patterns.

You can find my designs for sale at ‘threadnuts’ on ETSY or at the shop on my website.

I’m madly printing & preparing for a teaching Weekend in Stanwell Tops on the 10th November.

In January, I will be travelling to Poatina in Tasmania to teach ‘Fibre Arts’ for a whole week.

Can’t wait!

This will include -

Stitching - learning the basics, then working on design development

Dyeing - natural, food colouring & commercial

Felting - wet & needle felting

We will be using silk, cotton, linen & 100% wool.

One of my original designs - Cross Stitch

One of my Free Form embroidery kits - see the SHOP for more - or at ETSY ‘threadnuts’

Tasmania Adventure Day 1.5

Tasmania Adventure

Day 1.5

We left Yass this morning after a complimentary breakfast at 'Swaggers Motor Inn'. www.swaggersmotorinnyass.com.au
Lovely room.
In fact I have booked it for on the way back.

The drive to Melbourne was easy, though a bit boring on the freeways.

There was very little roadkill around.
No roos - just a couple of foxes & rabbits.

Not bad for 871km.
Have a look at the photos for today - not much traffic either.

Road just over the border into Victoria.

We stopped in Benalla for a coffee at the Art Gallery. www.benallaartgallery.com.au 

There is an exhibition we saw called 'The Botany of Desire'. It finishes tomorrow.

Some really interesting work.

Here are some pictures of my favourite pieces.

This is a magnificent piece by Milan Milojevic, 'Night & Day' 2016. digital/etching/woodcut print. Just wonderful

Tomorrow we travel on the Spirit of Tasmania to Devonport.
