Terrible week for musical guilty pleasures. Literally abominations. Think Erasure, think Shakira. I hate myself a little, but they have amazing ability to lift a thoroughly cranky mood.
I have finally decided that my principle discipline will be embroidery. My tutors only comment about this decision was "yes well that's been obvious for 3 years" Thanks Jill. Nice of you to bully me into knit and weave anyway you old sandwich.
Chez Sucre Chez has officially convinced me I think.

Her simple hoop work makes me smile. I'm so tired of embroidery being so undervalued. Blah blah craft vs art etc. But still, people never seem to understand the labour of love that goes into these creations. Sewing is not as therapeutic is people want to believe.I think it's about time embroidery started getting the credit it deserves. Plus it's the closest I can get to directly illustrating via a textile medium that isn't sodding print making.
Delicious.
I need write letters to primary schools and convince them to let me teach embroidery workshops.
Effort.
