When I saw a 2 week intensive Jacobean Crewelwork course with the Royal School of Needlework on the schedule, I just had to do it!

    That was a very nice design. Looking forward to hearing what "they" said about it.
  • As someone who works in a museum I totally agree with the fun of being behind the scenes and getting to go through doors others aren't! Glad you had a lovely time in London - can't wait to see where else you visited
  • I really enjoyed your video. My mum did this course in her 70s and was the only person to actually finish her piece! It was a bit like strolling down memory lane and I could feel her presence with me as I watched. Like you she loved the history of the place. I miss her terribly but her beautiful embroidery lives on.
  • I started watching thinking "cool, class in a castle", then you said "Hampton Court Palace" and I was like "I'VE BEEN THERE! HEDGE MAZE!" and felt very international, never mind that I haven't left the continent in nearly 10 years, and haven't been overseas in nearly 20.
  • The people painting was possibly a TV series called Watercolour Challenge. I'm glad you enjoyed your class and considered it worthwhile. Getting to pass through 'No Entry' signs and doors marked 'Private' is one of those little thrills that just never gets old. Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your trip.
  • This is one of my FAVORITE videos you've ever made!!! It looks like you had such a good time, and your stitching is incredible. Thanks for giving me the feeling of being there too
  • your videos are so lovely i find myself going from "ill have this on in the background while i do other things" to "its been 2 hours and i haven't moved, let alone started said other thing" and i mean that as the highest of compliments. <3
  • "Let me explain... There's too much, let me sum up" love that movie
  • Your desire to be a part of something behind the scenes and being a part of the inner workings is very understandable. It also explains why you like being a background extra (actor)!
  • @helza
    Pork pies are usually eaten cold so you had the authentic experience
  • This was so brilliant! I love the combination travel diary and class reflection. I know what you mean exactly about that feeling of specialness, of wholly being present in that moment and in that place and just sort of savoring the magic of it. It's so nice to know I'm not the only one who has those moments. I know you tend to film ahead, so presumably you're back home now--but I'm so looking forward to hearing about the rest of the trip (and secretly hoping you made it to tea at Chatsworth!).
  • When i was in college, I did 3 intensive classes that were scheduled for a month period. An entire semester of work was condensed into that month. I was so burnt out by the end of that month. But it cut off an entire semester of college by doing it. I also did this while also holding a full-time job. I envy the things i could do when i was young!
  • I'm surprised the didn't have boards that adjusted so you could stitch at a 45° angle, like a drafting table. When I did crossstitch I had something like that and it made stitching so much easier on the back and neck.
  • Oh, how lovely!!! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a wee bit envious, but I get to live vicariously through you so that helps. Thank you! 💖💖💖
  • Thanks for mentioning their stitch library, I just finished poking around in there, and it looks like a really solid reference/rabbit hole ❤
  • absolutely loved your finished design and hearing your honest thoughts about the course! i think it's good to have videos and reviews like this that are honest in their assessment, not just singing the praises or discussing failures but sharing the good with the critical

    At about 26:05: Oh no! I guess you already figured it out, but the frame will probably fit on the diagonal of the "whole" suitcase, I mean like the 3-dimensional one when you close it which goes from one corner to not only the other corner on the same bottom piece of the case but to the corner on the top piece. This would make packing a bit more of a Tetris challenge (and you couldn't use the divider thingie), but maybe that would work?
  • I loved living vicariously through you as I am unlikely to go on embroidery trip to England! This week I have been cleaning up my sewing space and today I started sewing a skirt for my daughter. Your videos, bring me much joy, and inspiration ❤
  • You starring at fern flicking leaves to gather thoughts is something I can relate to 😂. Excellent editing at picturesque scenery. Nice job. Very much enjoyed.
