Oh, I dunno about that, Johnno! When DD was a baby, I made a little
romper suit out of Inspirations magazine. It was navy two-way stretch
and had tiny bullion stitch teddy bears all over it, but that didn't
stop her from looking like a wee guerilla (gorilla? no, guerilla!),
especially when she wore the matching skullcap! There was *nothing*
girly about that design atall atall. LOL! (NB. the bullion stitch
teddies were great fun to do and so I sprinkled them all over her bibs
and socks and so on and so forth).
Do you have a particular project in mind for the Japanese classes? If
it's anything like your stunning camellia, it'll be outta this world!

Isn't his work fantastic? I wish I could see up close and personal.
I'd like to talk John into photographing his works and putting them in
my gallery for all the world to see.

Hi Trish and Dianne. I'll be starting Phase 4 of the Japanese beading
when I go to Adelaide. Heather was very pleased with the job I did on
Ph 3. I'll see what I can do about photos. The Japanese Embroidery
Center people are not happy about people taking unofficial photos of
their designs, but what I could do is take a photo of the Ph 3 on my
phone when I get to Adelaide and email it to you both, and you'll at
least get an idea of what I've been doing, even if, Dianne, you're not
able to put it in your gallery. (Though surely if you add a
copyright acknowledgment it shouldn't be a problem, but I'll have to
check up on that.)
Otherwise, life is just the same for me. Mum is still in a nursing
home, fading away slowly, though she'll leave us when she's good and
ready and not a minute before. I'm off now to visit her.

Johnno, I've asked a number of designers for permission to post photos
of my finished projects on webshots. They were all quite OK with it, so
long as I mentioned their name and attributed the design to them. If you
explain that you only want to show your friends your completed project
and undertake to give them full credit as designers, I bet they'd be OK
with it. Your camellia deserves to be seen!
I hope DMum's happy and comfortable? I've got a jungle of white and
pu-pu-purple stocks growing away in my garden - wish I could send her a
big bunch! Avagoodweegend, wontcha? ;-D
