I keep up a regular email correspondence with Anne who I met on last year's summer school at Urchfont, and Anne has the good sense to be very strict with me at times. Emailing over Easter I warbled on about various other crafty things I was half way through and I was roundly reproved for neglecting my work on the C & G course. Anne, there follows the visual proof of my ongoing reprobate behaviour (look on it as a sort of confessional). There's the memory blanket I'm working on made from material from some of Emily's toddler clothes (why can't grown-ups get clothes that cool?WHY?!). Then there's the Rowan cardigan I have been knitting that only needs its collar and it will be complete (I'm knitting smaller stuff after this - phew!). I tried macrame again after many many years and made a belt which I am really pleased with. And I finally got round to uploading my collection of photos of doors and windows in France, and ordering a collage picture from Photobox (http://www.photobox.co.uk/). I try to defend myself by claiming I am getting more rounded experience and one artform may inform another. Anne just thinks I am very very naughty indeed.
Fortunately Anne doesn't send me emails! She would be doing it daily as I can always find another craft to be getting on with - except Quilling, life's too short! Apologies to Quillers everywhere Best wishes
The main purpose of this blog is to record my progress through the City and Guilds level three certificate in stitched textiles, although I'm sure there will be many diversions and digressions along the way ...

I see my name is being taken in vain. Have left message on Alison's blog offering my services should she need a nudge!
