After much frustration with not being able to download images to my blog I have decided to move my blog here with my website. Makes much more sense really to have all your housekeeping in the one place. I'm not sure I like this blocky font, but it really works for my website and as far as I can tell if I change things here it will change it across the entire website (which I definitely don't want).
What hasn't changed is my commitment to writing regular blog posts that I hope will continue to peak your interest. I'll be starting off my new blog by doing a series of articles on my origins and progression as an embroiderer. You will see works from (almost) the very beginning to very recently with a few little stories thrown in along the way. Although I could have been doing some drawing or other smaller creative jobs, after having my studio wood heater stolen I just seemed to be lacking the creative drive. My new wood heater should be installed next week and I will be back in my studio and working like fury! I am so excited that I'll finally be back in my studio after 11 weeks in exile! Expect to see some work in progress posts in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for your lovely comments Denyse. I'm so excited for you that you will finally get back to your embroidery. It's a different world for embroiderers now compared to 25 years ago. People are really stretching the medium and realising sophisticated fine art works. I'm very excited for you. I take it as a great compliment that you compare my work to Ellen Kochansky's. Her work is incredibly intellectual and sophisticated, beautifully conceived and executed.

As I was passing by I saw you crawling on the wall, I was looking for a step lader, but you were already on the balcony, so I took my guitar... You told me you prefer the sound of silence...

Cedric, you are such a romantic. How did you know that my favourite music is silence? I've got plenty of wood, just no heater! It was supposed to be installed 2 days ago but the guys at the shop did not give the installer all the bits he needed. I was not happy and the installer was not happy as he had just driven 2 hours from Hobart to get here!
