I just love using any sort of pins and needles to create things – embroidery especially needlepoint and other counted genres, crazy quilting, knitting, crochet ….
I live in Auckland, New Zealand with my husband and my Dad and my cat, and have 2 grown-up sons.
I work full-time as an office manager for a smal comany, doing their accounts, administration and looking after the warehouse. When I am not at work I usually have some oins and needles close at hand 🙂
Pins and Needles 
Me again – I’m looking forward to more posts on this blog!! I am also a multi-media needlework person – but I have you beat in the sons department. I have four grown ones (two daughters also). My blog is Possibilities,Etc.! I put the needlepoint web page URL in instead.

I love your white work sampler. It’s coming out just gorgeous. I’ve wanted to teach myself these methods also (I have done hardanger and drawn thread) but I find it difficult to find good sources of learning material. Are there are any books/ websites you would especially recommend? What kind of fabric are you using? Please email with any suggestions. I look forward to watching your progress. Thanks!

I lover all your work, Im stitch challenged and I really want to bring more expression to my needlepoint canvas. Do you create your own stitches or do you use books on various stitches, if so what do you recommend?
Also what type of Floor Stand do you use?
Your Blackwork is unbelieveable!

WOW and more WOW – I LOVE the box! Now I’m thinking of adding a box to all my projects. Well, I know I’m not the only one in that perplexed place. You have done a beautiful job on the stitching – and the tutorial reads like it will be pretty 1-2-3. Thanks for sharing this.

Delightful Diamonds is absolutely stunning!! And I love the colors you chose, though they are a little bright. They really show off the stitches. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

Just found your blog -again. Been a long time since I visited. Love your Delightful Diamonds, and I love the colors too. I do not think they are too bright at all. I design and stitch mostly hardanger, but have been bitten by the needlepoint bug and intend to start a piece after the first of the year. I love the geometrics, and anything counted.
