If you’re anything like me then you will know the feeling … you agree to do something – in fact you’re really excited about doing something that is perhaps a little outside your comfort zone. It seems like such a good idea, you know you’re going to enjoy it …. and it’s comfortably in the future. But, as we all know, the future has a habit of arriving before we’re properly ready for it – at least mine does anyway, but then I am, to say the least, quite a disorganised kind of person sometimes.
I am really excited about doing this – but as it grows closer – I’m feeling just a little bit scared too ……
Can you see a snippet of one of my patterns? Second from left ……
Yes it’s a detail of my embroidered workroom sign. And I am going to be giving a workshop at the June Craft Sanctuary at Hawkwood College in Stroud. The subject will be a floral hoop and, because one of the things I love about hand embroidery is how easy it is to personalise a design and make it your own, as well as a floral garland participants will be able to stitch their own name as part of the design so everyone will take home something unique to themselves. Rosie is coming along as well to help me out so I know there isn’t really any need at all to be scared – perhaps just a little bit nervous! If you’d like to learn more about the Craft Sanctuary and my workshop, then please just CLICK HERE for the brochure. And if anyone’s coming along, do let me know so we can look out for you!
Oh I know that feeling. I’m also doing a workshop next month. A very tiny one in comparison to yours, and I am having to do my homework fast! Very scary as this is my very first workshop.
