It really brings meaning to my making.

I find that my recovery from my last illness is slow. I have a feeling it is all the drugs they gave me. However, time and tide wait for no one so I am working at assembling the kits for my last teaching workshop. I am teaching "machine finishing for embroiderers" in this class and I am findi...
I also had one that my grandfather used in beer making. Its here somewhere.

Another Heirloom
As part of my recovery I have set myself the task of cleaning out 2 drawers, or shelves, in my kitchen each day. Most are not even untidy but the routine of taking all the contents out of the draw and then cleaning every corner is a soothing activity. Whilst doing this I am discarding everythi...
Yes they would.

Some Regency Patterns
I have been wasting time trolling through books on Archive.org. Here I found an interesting series of books called Ackermann's repository. There was one entry called Muslin patterns which has a collection of embroidery patterns. Then on pysankybasics.com I found a set of these patterns...
But life moves on and who knows what wonders we will find in our future?

As I mentioned yesterday, I am finding it hard to rule a line under the teaching part of my life and move on. I think being so ill this last time has made me see that it is inevitable, but, it is still hard. It is so much of my identity and purpose in life. So, I went looking for advice from ...
My pleasure.

Yes, but well worth it.

Trying to avert a disaster.
I made a hexigon quilt back when my daughter was still at school. Every saturday I would watch her play soccer and hand stitch hexigons. I forgot about how many I stitched and in the end had enough for a Queen sized quilt. I had it on the bed in the guest bedroom and it has always been one of...

I now have my art space properly set up on my patio. (Along with all my housekeeping tools.) Matting, in case of spills and a thick plastic cover on the removable table top along with a small set of drawers to keep my art things separate. (I think I might get a second one of those.) Bear ...
I am doing very little.

Recovering
It is so good to be home and surrounded with my own things and peace and quiet of the island. To watch the sun come up. And the quiet of early evening. I have been back in hospital, again. Big rush with the ambulance this time but when I got home my blood pressure returned to normal and ...
Im not giving up on growning some roses.

Thank you.
Commented Jun 18, 2022 on I knew it could happen. at caro-rose-creations
I knew it could happen.
All that crocheting and the arrival of a very cold winter (0 degrees C) has seen my wrist taken over with rheumatoid arthritis. I knew it might hit me and I was hoping to get the throw finished but I have had to stop, 1.5 rows from the end. If I don't stop now it will get worse. If I do stop ...
Thanks

I am not sure I would have embarked on this crochet project if I had realised that it would take over my life! But, there is no turning back now. I have decided that it will make a great throw to go over the chair in my bedroom so I am in the process of making it a bit wider. This chair ...
Im not sure.

I bought this book on a whim and it doesn't really tell me anything I don't already know. It is by Tilly Rose and it is a nice book. (see a preview here.) But I know all these techniques and I was looking for some more inspiration for my own work. But, I have a friend who would love it so ...
