In Blogland, no one can hear you scream!

Imagine Edvard Munch's The Scream, can you hear the scream?
Well that's me trying to upload photos this afternoon!

Re read email from my tutor which reminded us to have our blogs upto date ready incase the Invigilator invigilated, and knowing my luck it would have to be mine. So I have spent One and a half hours uploading images for chapters 3, 4 and 5 on my Module Five blog.

I've got better things to do ...like work on chapter 6!

March seems so long ago!

Since the last blog I've been to Rome...

Returned home to sit in hospital while my Son had two operations for an abscess , sat in another hospital while my Husband had an angioplasty, thinking he was having a heart attack - fortunately it was Pericarditis and he is now recovering, been very busy with plenty of orders that seem to have short deadlines, been to the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court for two silk shading courses, celebrated my Daughter's 17th Birthday and changed my medication for rheumatoid arthritis only to find that this one has yet to kick in (two weeks later) which is making me feel frayed at the edges with the joint pain.

BUT I have done some course work!

AND I am planning to do some more!

And we threw a coin, or two, into the Trevi Fountain so we might return to Rome one day...

Module Five - Chapter Two

Uploaded to the Module Five course work blog.

Module Five - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 has now been downloaded to the Coursework blog

Start the Stop Watch...

I've just set up my new blog for Module Five.

No work posted yet, but reference is being gathered in readiness

Chapter One and Two will be posted soon.

Hoping to spend this evening putting the finishing touches

to the admin side of Module 4 and type up the Artists chapter

which is written . Never was a typist, I suppose that is why it's taken so long!

I started and I finally finished it - part two...

...final piece for Module Four!

Using the word communication as inspiration I chose to make a fan.

Fans were an instrument of communication and had their own language.

How I made the fan can be found on the Module Four coursework blog

Here is the front

There is also a "Dance Card" and pencil attached so my decerning Lady may note down the lucky Gentleman she will be dancing with. Although this "Dance Card" does not hold spaces for names as it holds the meaning of each monture and instructions on how to hold the fan to communicate the message!

Again the explanation is on the other blog site and a bit to long to convey here.

Here is a view from the back

I just have some loose ends to complete on this Module then it is on to Number Five, Hurrah!

And those of you who are Distant Stitchers will know why I feel so happy!

January Clear Out

Never thought I would spend a Saturday evening at home tidying up!

Must have finally grown-up!
Or I have a sad social life!!!

Just delivered an order today so the workbench is clear.
Ready to give the work room some t.l.c

Clear the junk, so I have a clean space to work and study

Just as well Saturday evening TV is so rubbish.

Must crack on...

Thank-goodness for the Cricket!

It is very late - England are back batting after their lunch and I am still up!

I have been updating my City and Guild Module Four work.

Blogger, uploading photos, my very slow internet connection and probably my computer ineptitude has kept me at the computer for eight hours!

I'm rather shocked myself as the time has flown by without me noticing.

I've been listening to the Cricket since 11pm- not something I usually enjoy, but it's better than football and I do like a Test Match

Especially when we are winning!

Go over to the other blog, www.garneredstitchesmodfour.blogspot.com

and let me know what you think of the fan I'm creating

I'm off to bed to dream that it may one day grace the display shelves here

No harm in dreaming, Goodnight

Happy New Year...

Merry Christmas

Thought I'd better post a message before the last post becomes up to date!

Have a great day and hopefully I shall find some time over the festive season to let you know what I have been up to...

best wishes
