In addition to the 7D Mark II, Canon also announced three new lenses this week at Photokina: EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM, EF 24–105mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM and EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM. The first two are designed to work on both full-frame and APS-C cameras, while the 24mm f/2.8 is designed to be only used on cropped sensor cameras. The EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM is an update to the first model of the lens that was produced back in 2000, and this time Canon put a lot of new technology into the lens and has updated the lens design. The letters "DO" stand for "Diffractive Optics", which not only reduce chromatic aberrations thanks to their different light dispersion path, but also allows for much smaller lens design. As a result, the EF 400mm f/4 is significantly smaller and lighter than the regular 400mm f/2.8L lens. In addition to the above benefits, the 400mm f/4 DO IS II USM now has better coatings to reduce ghosting and to improve color balance. Just like the professional "L" lenses, the lens has both dust and water-resistant construction and a 3 mode Image Stabilization system that offers up to four stops of vibration compensation. At $6,899 it is not a cheap lens by any means, but at the size a little bigger than a 70-200mm lens, it is surely an attractive choice for those that want to be able to hand-hold a 400mm lens.
Nikon D750 vs D810
It has not been 3 months since Nikon released the long-awaited update to the D800 / D800E cameras with the D810 announcement and we now have another camera in Nikon's full-frame line-up. Without a doubt, the Nikon D750 is a very capable camera and most likely will be quite popular for a while. Thanks to its updated high-end autofocus system, which is supposed to deliver even better results than the high-end Nikon DSLRs (including the Nikon D810 and D4S), and excellent detection range of -3 EV, the D750 will be a tool of choice for many Nikon shooters. With its attractive price of $2300 MSRP, one might wonder what feature differences there are between the new D750 and the Nikon D810, which we highly praised in our 9 page review. While our upcoming tests and review will show image quality and other differences, meanwhile, let's take a look at how the two compare in terms of specifications and ergonomics / handling.
Samsung NX1 and 50-150mm f/2.8 S Lens Announcement
When Samsung announced their first Android-powered mirrorless camera, I was really rather skeptical. The problem lies within the OS itself – its versatility also brings a whole lot of issues. Yet I feared the Korean manufacturer would keep at it, for better or worse. In a surprise move for me personally, they seem to have decided against it with the newly announced flagship of the NX system, the NX1. This is by far the most impressive camera in the NX line-up. It does away without Android, but Samsung still calls it a "smart" camera thanks to all the connectivity options. On paper, it is every bit as capable as the best in the class and then some.
Canon 7D Mark II Announcement
Today Canon announced a highly anticipated update to the sports and wildlife shooter's camera, the Canon 7D. After over five years of long wait, the new Canon 7D Mark II finally saw the light of day and it is not here to disappoint – Canon crammed quite a bit of power into the camera and made it a speed demon with a very impressive speed of 10 fps. Aside from the speed, the biggest highlight of the 7D Mark II is its impressive autofocus system. Borrowed from the top-of-the-line EOS-1D X, the autofocus system has a whopping 65 autofocus points, all of which are cross-type. Similar to the new Nikon D750, the Canon 7D Mark II also has -3 EV sensitivity, which means that it can focus quite well in low-light situations. To drive 10 fps continuous shooting speed, 65 focus points and 1080p full HD video recording at 60 fps, the 7D Mark II comes with dual DIGIC 6 image processors. Nikon shooters have been waiting for a "Pro DX" camera like this for many years now, so with Canon releasing the 7D Mark II, many of us might be wondering if Nikon will ever respond with a similar camera.
Nikon D750 Buffer Capacity
The Nikon D750 has the most advanced autofocus system Nikon has produced to date, thanks to its new Multi-CAM 3500 FX II autofocus module that is capable of focusing in dim light conditions with a -3 EV to +19 EV detection range. While the camera is capped at 6.5 frames per second of continuous shooting speed, one might be wondering how long the camera can shoot continuously, before the buffer fills up and the camera slows down. In this article, we will explore the buffer capacity of the Nikon D750 and compare it to the D610, D700 and the D810 cameras.
Nikon D750 vs D610
As we have already pointed out in our announcement, the Nikon D750 shares quite a bit with the D610 when it comes to size, ergonomics and resolution. There are, however, some big differences in terms of autofocus performance, with the D750 employing top of the line autofocus system borrowed from the new D810 with superior ability to focus in low light. Let's take a closer look at the camera specifications and see the differences between these cameras. Please keep in mind that this comparison is purely based on specifications. A detailed comparisons of all the features and their real world relevance will be provided in our upcoming review.
Tamron Announces 15-30mm f/2.8 VC Lens Development
Much like its direct competitor, Tamron is releasing one great lens after another. But if the former Japanese manufacturer started its renaissance with prime lenses, Tamron has been focusing on zooms instead. First, it was the rather great 24-70mm f/2.8 stabilized standard zoom. Then, the equally-great stabilized 150-600mm superzoom. Now, they announced a new professional grade lens, or rather – its development. And, if previous releases are of any indication, there is a good chance the new lens will impress.
Two Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Lenses Announced
Tamron's new 150-600mm lens created quite a lot of stir. Let's be honest, it is a cracking lens for its class, and even more so for its price. We covered it in detail in our review. We then covered it again, and again. And… yes, again. And each time, it earned a healthy amount of praise. But someone at Sigma obviously had the same idea, because today they announced not one, but two different 150-600mm lenses. I have a slight feeling they want some of that love their main third party competitor has been receiving lately.
Nikon D750, Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G and SB-500 Pre-Order Options
Our partners at B&H and Adorama informed us earlier today that they are already accepting pre-orders for the newly announced Nikon D750, Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED lens and the SB-500 Speedlight. All three should start shipping at the end of September, which is in roughly two weeks. If you would like to pre-order and support our efforts, please use the below links.
Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G Image Samples
Below you will find image samples from the new Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G lens that we wrote about earlier today. Except for one image, most images were taken with the new Nikon D750. Unfortunately, since EXIF information is missing on these images, it is hard to say what aperture was used at each shot. On images with visible background blur, we can assume that f/1.8 aperture was used. Looking at the detail level, the sharpness of the lens seems to be amazing wide open. Once I obtain information about each image, I will update this article with more details.

Canucks Ruthlessly Defeat Children, Recap and Chance Data
Thomas Drance
December 27 2011 12:34PM
Burrows celebrates his short-handed goal. I like to think he said to Ryan Jones "nice coverage."
Having whiffed on their first chance to wrest top-spot from the Minnesota Miracles on December 23rd against Calgary, the Canucks came out like guerillas on boxing day and dominated a group of children from Edmonton. Vancouver's club was energetic and deadly in the first period, as they got two goals from an unlikely source in under-rated possession player Andrew Ebbett, and took advantage of a missed call on Daniel Sedin's goal on their way to building a three goal lead that was ultimately insurmountable. They also embarrassed Ben Eager in the process, which, is always fun to see!

If you're renting an apartment or home, you'll need an insurance policy to cover your belongings. Your landlord's property insurance policy covers losses to the building itself – whether it's an apartment, a house or a duplex. Your personal property and certain liabilities, however, are covered only through a renter's insurance policy that you, as a tenant, have to find and pay for. While 95% of homeowners have a homeowner's insurance policy, only 37% of renters have renter's insurance, according to a 2014 Insurance Information Institute poll conducted by ORC International. [L1]
Why do so few renters have insurance? One explanation is that many people incorrectly assume they are covered by their landlord's policy. Another reason is that people underestimate the value of their belongings. If you add up the value of just your clothing and electronics, it probably wouldn't take long to get into the thousands of dollars. One more often overlooked reason is liability: If someone is injured in your house – a friend, neighbor, or the pizza delivery person – they could sue you. Even if you thought you didn't need insurance, here are six good reasons why you should get a renter's insurance policy.
1. It's affordable.
The average renter's insurance policy costs $187 a year, according to 2011 figures reported by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) in 2013. Your actual cost will depend on factors, including how much coverage you need, the type of coverage you choose, the amount of your deductible and where you live. If you're in Mississippi, for example, you'll pay the most (average $252 a year); if you live in North or South Dakota, you'll pay the least (average $117 a year).
2. It covers losses to personal property.
A renter's insurance policy protects against losses to your personal property, including clothes, jewelry, luggage, computers, furniture, and electronics. Even if you don't own much, it can quickly add up to a lot more than you realize – and a lot more than you'd want to pay to replace everything. According to esurance.com, the average renter owns about $20,000 worth of personal property. [L2]
Renter's policies protect against a surprisingly long list of perils. A standard HO-4 policy designed for renters, for example, covers losses to personal property from perils including:
- Damage caused by aircraft
- Damage caused by vehicles
- Explosion
- Falling objects
- Fire or lightning
- Riot or civil commotion
- Smoke
- Theft
- Vandalism or malicious mischief
- Volcanic eruption
- Weight of ice, snow or sleet
- Windstorm or hail
- Damage from water or steam from sources including household appliances, plumbing, heating, air conditioning or fire-protective sprinkler systems
Note: Losses resulting from floods and earthquakes are not covered in standard policies. A separate policy or rider is required for these perils. In addition, a separate rider might be needed to cover wind damage in areas prone to hurricanes. And renter's insurance policies don't cover losses caused by your own negligence or intentional acts. For example, if you fall asleep with a lit cigarette and cause a fire, the policy most likely will not cover the damage. To learn more, read Eight Financial Safeguards If Disaster Strikes and the Hurricane Insurance Deductible Fact Sheet.
3. Your landlord might require it.
Your landlord's insurance covers the structure itself and the grounds, but not your belongings. A growing number of landlords require tenants to purchase their own renter's insurance policies, and they'll expect to see proof. This could be the landlord's idea, or it could be an "order" from the landlord's insurance company – the idea being that if the tenants are covered themselves, some responsibility can be shifted away from the landlord. If you need assistance finding or obtaining coverage, your landlord may be able to help.
4. It provides liability coverage.
Liability coverage is also included in standard renter's insurance policies. This provides protection if someone is injured while in your home or if you (or another covered person) accidently injure someone. It pays any court judgments as well as legal expenses, up to the policy limit.
Most policies provide at least $100,000 of liability coverage, and between $1,000 and $5,000 for medical-payments coverage. You can request (and pay for) higher coverage limits. If you need more than $300,000 of liability coverage, ask your insurance company about an umbrella policy, which can provide an additional $1 million worth of coverage for about $150 to $300 a year.
5. It covers your belongings when you travel.
Renter's insurance covers your personal belongings, whether they are in your home, car,or with you while you travel. Your possessions are covered from loss due to theft and other covered losses anywhere you travel in the world. Check your policy or ask your insurance agent for details on what constitutes "other covered losses."
6. It may cover additional living expenses.
If your home becomes uninhabitable due to one of the covered perils, your renter's insurance policy may cover "additional living expenses," including the cost associated with living somewhere else temporarily, food and more. Check with your policy to find out how long it will cover additional living expenses, and if it caps the amount the company will pay.
The Bottom Line
Renter's insurance provides coverage for your personal belongings, whether they are in your home , car or with you while you're on vacation. In addition, renter's insurance provides liability coverage in case someone is injured in your home or if you accidently cause injury to someone.
Be sure you understand what your policy covers,and ask your agent about available discounts, deductibles and coverage limits. For example, be sure you know whether your insurance provides replacement cost coverage (RCC) for your personal property or actual cash value (ACV). The first will pay to replace your 15-year-old carpet, say, with a new one, at current market rates, while the second will only reimburse you for the value of a carpet that's 15 years old. Needless to say, RCC costs more.

LITTLE ROCK -- Panama's top basketball official says former
Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson does not have a contract to coach
that country's national team, according to Panamanian reports.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press on Tuesday, the secretary
general of the Panamanian Basketball Federation said federation
president Miguel Sanchiz' position on Richardson's hiring was
contained in an article in Tuesday's edition of Panama's Critica en
In that report, Sanchiz said in Spanish: "There have been
conversations [with Richardson], but nothing official yet."
He went on to say that the federation's governing board still
needs to discuss the Richardson situation and it's still possible
for the former NCAA champion coach at Arkansas to lead the
Panamanian squad.
Richardson's lawyer, John Walker, said last week that Richardson
was on his way to Panama to coach the team in the Bolivarian Games
and the FIBA Americas championship tournaments this month. Hernan
Hernandez, the secretary general of the sport's governing body in
Panama, told The Associated Press at the time that he didn't have
details about Richardson's employment.
Walker was not immediately available for comment Tuesday, his
office said.
Sanchiz returned Monday night from a tournament in Venezuela and
addressed U.S. reports of Richardson's hiring. He said that for
now, Enrique Grenald is running the team.
In the newspaper report, Sanchiz also said the federation
doesn't have enough money to pay Richardson. Walker has said
Richardson was expecting to receive only living expenses.
The Panamanian team begins practicing Wednesday for the Aug.
12-21 Bolivarian Games in Colombia. The Tournament of the Americas
begins Aug. 24 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Panama is in
the same group as the United States, Canada and Brazil in that
qualifying tournament for the 2006 World Championships.

We'll be returning to Lucca on April 14th, just in time for a visit from another friend who's going to fly here from Paris to spend a few days with us at the villa. We still have some side trips to make from Lucca before we fly to Amsterdam on April 20th, including a day in Pisa for Lucy and Irene to gawk at the Leaning Tower, which Dee and I visited last year.

Magnificent Villa on an appreciated cooler day
... cheese, tomatoes and better bread. Have I mentioned that Italians have **** bread? With every other food item so wonderful – there is definitely room for improvement in their breads. Maybe it will be better in the south? Anyway we made and had a feast at home which was really nice for our final night with Phil & Di. We appreciated the cooler day and seeing the Villa and its garden was wonderful today.
Lucca and Cinque Terre

Lucca itself is an interesting city. The 'walled' part of the city seemed to be about the same size and had a similar feel to that of other small towns across Europe. We could definitely understand how people fall in love with this city but for us, we couldn't help but compare it to Beaune which for our tastes had more to offer. We're also aware that this might be due to the lack of sleep and the travel starting to catch ...
Lovely Lucca
... the morning, before the crowds arrived. Lucca is a beautiful walled town with many interesting lanes and two beautiful bell towers. One has trees growing on the top- they've been there for many years and are pretty big! We also came across a beautiful church that from a distance looked to be dull white stone, but when you got close to it you could see that it was made of beautiful marble. It was pretty impressive. Inside the church was ...

CHICAGO --- If you hire a caregiver from an agency for an elderly family member, you might assume the person had undergone a thorough criminal background check and drug testing, was experienced and trained for the job.
You'd be wrong in many cases, according to new Northwestern Medicine research.
A troubling new national study finds many agencies recruit random strangers off Craigslist and place them in the homes of vulnerable elderly people with dementia, don't do national criminal background checks or drug testing, lie about testing the qualifications of caregivers and don't require any experience or provide real training.
"People have a false sense of security when they hire a caregiver from an agency," said lead study author Lee Lindquist, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a physician at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. "There are good agencies out there, but there are plenty of bad ones and consumers need to be aware that they may not be getting the safe, qualified caregiver they expect. It's dangerous for the elderly patient who may be cognitively impaired."
(See Lindquist's "10 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Caregiver" below.)
The study will be published in the July 13 issue of the Journal of American Geriatrics Society.
Lindquist, a geriatrician, personally has seen a number of bad caregivers accompanying patients in her clinic. "Some of the paid caregivers are so unqualified it's scary and really puts the senior at risk," she said.
Lindquist had a 103-year-old patient whose illiterate caregiver was mixing up her own medications and the patient's medications. The caregiver was giving her own medicines to the elderly patient by mistake. Another patient had dropped 10 percent of her weight and developed pressure ulcers because her caregiver was not properly feeding her or getting her out of bed.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'embroidery' tag.
'Than buy a bit of fabric or two… ', apologies to the Grease songwriters for my shameless adaptation of their classic sung by Rizzo, (one of my favourite characters from a movie ever, I so wanted to be that cool!).
Anyway I did buy a little bit and some fantastic accessories for crafting and my spending this event really emphasised what I say to the children about supporting small businesses.
I know that they think that is an excuse but in truth a large amount of my crafting money each year goes to small businesses set up by women like me who are crafting and selling whatever they create or source so as far as I am concerned I am supporting the sisterhood!
The fact that I get lovely things in return is a bonus ;-)
One of my best purchases was this set of papers from the lovely Jesse of the Messy Jesse blog. I would not have found this stall but for my friend Helen who was very excited that she had found her.
Helen reads her blog and had met her in person for the first time that day and introduced me to the joys of lots and lots of pre-cut papers for all sorts of English Paper Piecing.
Jesse has just set up this side of the business, Sew and Quilt , and it was a real delight to talk to her, about how this was all part of the maths topic of tessellation and technically to do with the angles at a point, while patchworking we are all actually applying rules about the interior angles of regular polygons don't you know! As well as some irregular ones like apple cores and clamshells, two patterns I have wanted to try for ages.
Having taught Maths for a long time I am always trying to find ways of getting people interested in it and have used quilts as examples before.
The back of her show leaflet was this really useful cutting guide which will go up on my craft room notice board. Another practical application of Maths.
I also bought some more Liberty from Alice Caroline. Much as I am enjoying piecing the blocks for the Block of the Month Challenge my real passion is English Paper Piecing so with this lovely rainbow and the extra papers from Jesse I can patchwork to my heart's content!
She also had these cute handbag mirrors so I can see a few matching make up bags being made as presents. Isn't this the prettiest business card ever?
I find it so relaxing sitting watching TV and piecing, whereas using my machine always gets frustrating when the points don't match. Will persevere as love the end results but will mix and match techniques.
I love reading magazines for inspiration and have just changed my subscription as I like to vary them every couple of years. With the new Fabrications Quilting one I got this set of threads for free – how shiny! I had this magazine a few years ago and like the inclusion of embroidery projects as well.
And another new one, Today's Quilter , was giving away this tote bag as well as first 3 issues for £3 , this sums up my idea of a perfect weekend and I am seriously considering stitching this saying and framing it.
I also picked up a copy of Australian Homespun, I like this magazine and was especially loving this quilt design on the front cover, what a great idea for using my vintage embroideries.
There was a little bit of Christmas fabric that snuck its way in as well from the lovely Sue at Springwood House Designs. She has a new design called Fun with Leaves, beautiful hand-made leaves which would look great in wreaths.
Am still working on the scissors stitching from Jenny of Elefantz – have enjoyed it so much that I have subscribed to her Stitchery Club, it has been a long time since I have done any stitching and just love her work.
Would have had that completed but spent 4 hours on one quilt block over this weekend. I am so slow at this and am in awe of people who can piece a quilt in a weekend.
I got such a nice e-mail from her as well about my subscription and again am very pleased to be able to support a small business. I am eagerly waiting the 17th when I get my patterns, there is Christmas stitchery in this month's set so I will be able to do a little bit of Christmas in August :-)
Right sadly the day job is calling so I had better go now. I love these summer mornings, I have been awake since 6.30 having a few cups of tea and bogging and it is so nice to have more time and feel like doing things, sunshine makes such a difference.
Thanks for visiting and have a nice week.
Things have quietened down a lot at work which means that I am home earlier, have more chance to work from home and thus more time for sewing which all makes me very happy :-)
We don't get the same school holidays as school teachers do so I am still working all summer but at a nice relaxed pace with lots of weekends free now.
As I am still having a bit of pain in my wrist I am avoiding knitting and too much machine sewing so am embarking on a few embroidered pieces.
I recently found Jenny's Elefantz blog and embroidery designs, cannot remember how but think it was a link from another blog and she designs the most wonderful things so I had to go and buy some patterns. Some of these will be stitched for me and some will be gifts.
This will be my first project which I am starting this afternoon and I have the perfect backing for it in my stash.
She is an amazingly talented and generous designer as she has loads of freebies on her site as well. She has done so many lovely free block of the month sets over the years and currently has a Vintage Kitchen series. Look at these beautiful designs.
Not only are the designs really lovely but they use very simple stitches, most are backstitch or satin stitch but she makes the most gorgeous things with the embroidery. My embroidery skills are limited, I would love to learn more complex stitches but for now I don't have to.
I love the fact that she combines stitching with applique and quilting and I was also very impressed with this design which combines my hexi love with beautiful roses.
She also posts pictures of what people make with her designs on her blog and that gives you loads of ideas for different colourways.Here is the link to her Craftsy store if you are interested, they would make lovely Christmas presents for stitchers.
She also has a monthly Stitchery Club and I am seriously tempted to subscribe to that, even I don't do all the designs now I could consider it part of my retirement fund!
Also it is nice to support fellow designers and craftspeople in their business endeavours, I love knowing the person behind the work, that is one of the lovely things about buying re-enactment goods it is very personal shopping.
I am also enjoying reading all about her life in Australia, I have decided to read all her posts from the start in 2009. I quite often do that with interesting blogs, to me it is like reading someone's autobiography and I love seeing other places around the world.
I have been a long time follower of Katrina in New Zealand's A Kiwi Stitching blog which is great for a mix of stitching ideas and photos of the beautiful places around her home and of Mary Kathryn's, Impie, Hattie and Bea blog and webshop, she lives in the Rocky Mountains and posts beautiful photos of her surroundings.
I have recently found another Colorado blog Tanya Quilts in Colorado , she is a very creative and very prolific quilter who amazes me with her output.
Another new one for me is Anna Scott Embroidery, lots of beautiful goldwork here that she designs and sells patterns for and pictures of the Australian vineyard where she lives.
Here in the UK I love Julie of Little Cotton Rabbits knitting designs and her garden and walk pictures, she is a really good photographer and of course the animals are amazingly cute.
I have the patterns for some of the latest to make when my hand is better, she now has mice and cats to knit as well as rabbits, elephants, foxes and monkeys!
I also really enjoy Helen from Hen House's vintage style quilts and collectibles and her trips out in the South of England, she loves the 1940s and often visits events and vintage fairs in costume which looks fantastic.
I really enjoy blogs that combine beautiful crafting with information about life in other places, a bit like having lots of pen pals around the world. Although I don't comment on people's posts very often I do love the sense of being in touch with fellow knitters, stitchers and quilters.
That is one of the best things about the internet, the sense of community that it gives.
As well as the opportunity to buy cute things of course ;-) , I may just have indulged a little bit in some charm buying recently, will let you see what I have been acquiring soon.
Right there appears to be sun in Yorkshire, (a minor miracle), and the washing machine has just finished so I will make the most of it and see if I can get some stuff outside. Not to tempt fate but it may be 20 degrees and dry today which is great for August round here!
Thanks as always for visiting and I hope that you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy visiting all the others.
Hello everyone, hope that you are having a good weekend so far. I have a change of plans as unfortunately my back is not too good so will not be going to Bolsover but will be mainly resting on the sofa carrying on with some of my projects. Luckily I have enough to keep me busy for the weekend ;-)
On our whistle-stop tour of Trust properties we made our way back up North stopping off at two houses in the Midlands.
Calke Abbey was an amazing experience, billed as, 'a very unstately stately home', it was a treasure trove of history, the collection of the Harpur – Crewe family who owned the house for over 250 years and never threw anything away!
There are gorgeous grounds and gardens and a church with beautiful Victorian stained glass windows.
The house is still in state of disrepair and the decision of the Trust was to repair enough to make it watertight and safe and not to restore but to display it as a country house past its prime, telling the story of those many British houses that suffered due to social changes after the first World War.
The house is crammed with things, an incredible amount of taxidermy, especially given that half of it was sold to pay death duties, and more importantly for me a huge wealth of textile beauty, particularly needlepoint.
There were touching displays of family possessions like this cabinet full of what look to be Edwardian children's clothes and lace parasols.
One of the first rooms that you visit displays some of the thousands of objects that are in the collection which are not usually out of their storerooms and looks at the conservation needs of the objects.
This 18th century embroidered jacket and waistcoat was among them and made Ellie and I wonder what other costume treasures the house has given that the family kept all their possessions.
This is one of the highlights of the collection, the perfectly preserved Chinese silk embroidered State Bed which was found still in boxes, having never been assembled since it was made around 1715.
These pictures are from the National Trust Collections web site as the bed is displayed behind glass in a dimly lit room to preserve its beauty.
There were so many lovely examples of needlepoint on chairs, cushions and fire screens and wonderful embroidered silk cushions – some pieces half hidden behind cabinets of stuffed animals and birds.
This group of chairs is displayed with only one uncovered at a time to stop them fading and the photo at the bottom is on display on a side table to show them all together uncovered.
There was also this beautiful silk bed coverlet that one of the volunteers had tried to research the origin of, the conclusion was that it may have been Indian and probably dated from the 1800s.
One of the rooms had some of the children's toys and at the foot of the doll's house I spotted this sampler, excuse the poor light but you can just see the name and the date on it, Selina Crewe 1809.
Selina was one of the family and I managed to find a painting of her, again from the Trust Collection site. She died in 1838, 29 years after she completed this sampler so was not very old when she died.
It is rare to be able to see pictures of people who stitched the things that I see on my visits and I hope that she had a happy life and enjoyed her needlework.
I managed to find information about the fact that she married and had two children, a boy called Stanhope after his father and a daughter with the beautiful name Georgiana Jane Henrietta Eliza.
In my research for this post I found this great blog by one of the Trust staff called National Trust Treasure Hunt that has lots more photos of Calke and other properties that I will be going back to for a good browse and may inspire you for your visits.
Well I will love you and leave you now as I have sample knitting calling, I have started the mittens for Sarah and all is going well so far.
I have learnt how to do German Twisted Cast On this week so am feeling like a bit of a knitting genius again and have just had a delivery of new bamboo needles so am very happy!
Take care, have a nice rest of the weekend and thanks for visiting.
I am having a very, very lovely week so far. I have been sent on a writing retreat by work to finish part of my doctorate at a most gorgeous place, the Gladstone's Library in the pretty village of Hawarden in North Wales.
There are lots of books – this morning I was working in this amazing place.
And also not one but two castles just down the road (pictures in a minute) and a beautiful church with stained glass to die for.
The food is amazing and I am having a lovely time getting to know some of the new colleagues that have joined us at the University recently – there may be visits to the pub and wine involved in that bit :-)
I am feeling very relaxed and happy and making great progress with the writing (which is the whole point of being here!)
The library was set up by William Gladstone who was Prime Minister four times in the Victorian era and whose family home is this modern castle, sadly not open to the public.
It reminds me a lot of Boddelwyddan Castle just along from here where we have been lucky enough to do a couple of events. It is quite possibly by the same architect.
But I did get to go for a walk in the parkland surrounding the old medieval castle which was very lovely, on a mild Spring day with lots of these gorgeous flowers everywhere – well we are in Wales!
I went for a little walk in the village as well past the old House of Correction and a lovely fountain.
The church, St Deniols, was very nice with an extensive old graveyard with some sad tales to be told from the gravestones of war and childhood death. And an amazing surprise inside, stained glass windows by Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.
I am seriously considering staying (not least because Ofsted are due at any minute!) but may have to go home soon so I can still fit in my jeans as there is lovely breakfast, lunch and tea plus morning coffee and afternoon, both of which may include cake – only to be polite of course.
In one of the corridors is a stitched piece by the local WI celebrating the village's history.
However I do have Ellie's velvet dress to alter for the start of the season at the end of April and a couple of other things to make so it will be (reluctantly) back to normality on Thursday.
Meanwhile I shall enjoy!
Hope you are all having a lovely week and thanks for visiting.
The Paso Blanco Museum was in an old chapel which had recently been refurbished. So not only was it the most wonderful collection of robes, cloaks and head dresses but the setting was amazing as well.
These were the first robes we looked at, the head dresses have eyeholes in them and the 3D work on the robes was stunning.
This is a close up of the wonderful Roman general's cloak in the centre of the museum.
Many of the cloaks were pictorial as in the other museums and these had stunning scenes from the bible, the ones below were two of my favourite.
The detail of the people on this one must have taken hours of stitching.
And then there was the chapel to visit, just a little bit of gold in there!
If you feel like seeing any more goldwork I have done another slideshow for you. So much inspiration will keep me going for a long time!
|Picture slideshow customized with Smilebox
Hope that you have all enjoyed the goldwork and have a good week ahead, thanks for visiting.
We visited the Paso Encardo (Crimson) Museum first, no pictures from this one but we did get to meet the embroiderers working in an upstairs room and in my very poor Spanish I was talking to them about what I had made as well and they were explaining their methods.
It was interesting to see the work in progress, I didn't realise that so much work is still being done there, not realising the scale of the event. The majority of the work that we saw in the museums was from the 20th century and a lot of it was very recent.
The designs are drawn onto white cloth which was then laid over velvet, the design was then overlaid with strips of fluffy white cotton wadding which was couched down with tightly packed stitches, then the excess cloth was cut away.
I was surprised that they weren't using gold for padding as I have previously seen it done with gold coloured felt as the gold threads are put straight on top of the white cotton.
They told us that it took 3000 hours to finish one of the capes and that includes the beautiful lifelike embroidered pictures that are surrounded by the goldwork.
The Paso Morado (Purple) museum was next which started off with the sort of things that we were expecting to see, beautiful clothes for the icons.
What we weren't expecting was this a whole gallery of beautiful and amazing goldwork.
This piece was my favourite from that museum, not just the intricacy of the goldwork but the overall shape of the banner.
I have put some more pictures from this museum into the slideshow below.
|Make your own free digital slideshow
We then went to the Paso Azul (Blue) Museum a couple of minutes away which was housed in an Art Deco style house very similar to Casa Modernista in Novelda that we have visited a couple of times.
Not only was the display of capes fabulous but the building was beautiful, I loved all the newel post baubles which were all of a different style on the first two floors.
This museum was very different as they had a lot more of the horse rider's cloaks and a lot more emphasis on the pictorial side of the work, still amazing goldwork but also Roman and Egyptian pictures and biblical scenes like this one in silk shaded embroidery.
If the first cloaks the women were making took 3000 hours I estimate about 8000 for this one looking at the size of it, just incredible.
This robe was also beautiful.
Again I have put more pictures into the slideshow below, apologies as some of the photos are not brilliant as all of it was obviously behind glass but you can get a sense of the amazing work.

Will love you and leave you now as stitching is calling but will be back later in the week with the mind-blowing last museum, Thanks for visiting.
Is it sad that it gives me great pleasure to sit on a Saturday morning (looks like it is going to be a bit sunny as well – yippee!) and write blog posts?
Hope not as blogging does make me happy and I have been looking forward to sorting out my embroidery pictures from Lorca all week.
Am splitting them into two, maybe even 3 posts, as there are so many and the amount of work that has gone into these pieces I feel they need sharing with the stitchy bloggy world.
First some of the gorgeousness of the city itself. It is sadly famous for having a very bad earthquake in 2011 and they are still repairing a lot of the damage. What has been restored is gorgeous and those that are not beautiful old stone are painted mainly in white with a deep yellow trim.
These are some of the old mansions, the Casino and the town hall.
We spent some time wandering around and visiting churches and the castle as well. This picture from Google is a great aerial shot of the castle.
Lorca was important in the medieval period as it was on the border between Moorish and Christian Spain being halfway between Murcia (the city that I visited on the last trip to Spain) and Granada so this was a very well used castle – great views of the surrounding countryside as you can imagine.
It was a long walk up (and we got lost a bit) but a short one down as we found the way back through the very poor area just below the walls.
Stark contrast between the crumbling houses in the barrio and this church and seminary at the bottom of the hill. I am going to frame this photo and add it to my 'beautiful buildings and blue sky' collection of Spanish pictures!
We got the idea of going to Lorca from my brother and his partner who stayed there overnight on the way back from a trip to the mountains. They went to the tourist information and picked up a brochure that said four embroidery museums in the city and kindly thought of me :-)
It was also a very exciting trip as we did it all by bus from La Marina, these are the sort of things like I love doing and it made Mum and I feel very adventurous!
We also had some lovely food in cute little tapas bars like this one in a converted house where due to my poor Spanish I inadvertently ordered off the menu (luckily what I ordered was lovely and mostly non meat for Mum).
I thought he was just explaining what was available and so was nodding to say that I understood and he obviously thought I wanted it all – we had to stop him after the first two dishes and say we had enough!
Mum and I were expecting to see loveliness and knew that the embroidery was connected with the Easter festivals(Semana Santa – Holy Week) and we have seen a few of these before so were looking forward to some lovely robes for icons etc.
However we didn't realise that the parades are four days of spectacle that includes chariots, Romans and their Gods, Egyptians and the Devil as well as usual icons of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
Mum has lived in Spain for 11 years now and her sister for 24 and neither of them had heard of the event there so obviously a well-kept secret. So we know where we are going next Easter!
Here is a taster of the parade from some of local tourism web sites.
The four museums represent the four brotherhoods – Paso Encarnado (Crimson), Paso Morado (Purple), Paso Azul (Blue) and Paso Blanco (White).
The last two are the biggest and the ones with the most spectacular embroidery as they are the groups with horses as well as icons and robes for participants. This tourism web site gives details of locations of all four and the other attractions if you ever fancy a trip.
Since this is a very long post now I will finish (and go and have brunch, my other favourite thing about the weekend!) and be back tomorrow for goldwork loveliness the like of which I have never seen before.
Thanks for visiting.
I realised (as I was mulling over the design for my thank you gift for all those lovely comments) that I had not posted any pictures of the last giveaway I did for my 400th post or the last piece of stitching that I did for the sadly now defunct Seasonal Exchange.
So here they are. This is the needlecase that I made, Cat had requested deep colours and I had these fabrics in my scraps from making my medieval pattern fabric throw for the sofa (which I still have not finished the hand quilting on – ahem!) so I though I would combine my hexagon addiction with a little goldwork.
The inside of the case has felt in a deep red for the needles and I put a little hexagon pocket in as well for scissors, threaders etc. Apologies for the yellowness of the picture, this was November light in Yorkshire!
This was the last pincushion I made – the original gift got lost in the post and never arrived :-( so I made this little bird one instead.
It is an adaptation of a pattern from one of my cross stitch magazines, the original has NOEL on it and is a Christmas ornament but I liked the idea of an autumn bird looking for berries. It is backed with some of the same fabric left over from the throw.
I don't know where I got the little acorn charm from but thought it was very cute and just right for this piece.
We have had more snow this week, I actually ended up with a snow day yesterday where despite mine and the bus driver's valiant attempts to get us to town I arrived too late for where I was going so turned round and came home! Was very tempted to just sit under a fleecy blanket and stitch but I was good and got on with some marking.
Plans for this weekend are to try out some more quilting blocks and our February block of the month will be released soon as well!
Hope you have a nice weekend and thanks for visiting.
A few years ago at Harrogate I saw some really stunning, original embroidery in the graduate showcase and was really pleased to see the work of Caren Garfen back again, this time with her own exhibition.
Caren's work is called 'She was cooking something up' and is based around a kitchen installation. It takes the theme of women's lives and their relationship with food, dieting and body image. Not only is it technically amazing, all of this is hand stitching on screen printed backgrounds, but so creative and powerful.
Apologies as my images are all a bit yellow due to the show lighting.
I was lucky enough to be able to talk to Caren and tell her how much I loved her work.
There are some more detailed pictures (in better light) at this show link.
Her website also gives more details of her work and there is a really interesting interview with Caren at this link on the Textile Artist web site. I particularly like the way her work links modern stitching with the history of women's work and needlework.
As someone who is really interested in the history of needlework it is fascinating the way that women's lives were often influenced heavily by their skills with a needle in terms of employment, readiness for marriage, social activities etc and this work makes us think through stitching about our lives and current pressures on them.
No longer do we have to be proficient needlewomen to clothe our families, or 'make do and mend' to help the war effort, or have 12 quilt tops ready before we get married but for many of us needlecrafts and knitting are still very central to our lives.
It always fascinates me as someone who has crafted all her life that knitting, quilting, embroidery and sewing are now popular like never before (and often on prime time TV), not because we have to do it but because we want to do it and the 'handmade home' is now once again valued over mass production.
The fact that the internet (the original idea of linking computers was to protect data in the event of war) is such as resource for us all (not just women but mainly women) to share ideas, encourage each other and to often enable us to sell our work is fantastic.
My life would definitely by so much poorer without my bloggy 'imaginary friends' as my kids call them. So on that note thanks for visiting and have a nice week ahead!

First some facts about the phone: It's unlocked, S-off, rooted, and has a usable 4ext recovery installed. I also did some days ago when 4ext was installed a backup before trying anything else. After that I tried different ROMs and most of them booted fine after flashing, and I used the last 2 days a JB 4.3 ROM until I found problems with the camera and wanted to see how this is for one of the other ROMs I tried before. But after try to flash another ROM, it was stuck with on the HTC logo (the same ROM I flashed before without any (HowTos)

When working with online creative, there's a huge factor that differentiates a great idea executed well from one that is executed poorly: the technology. Thus, it pays to invite creative programmers into the ideation process.
Many of the classic fundamentals of advertising concept development can be carried over from traditional advertising to online advertising. Concepts based on big ideas with relevant messages directed at consumers often achieve the best results, regardless of the strategic approach to the client's business.
However, when working with online creative, there is a huge factor that differentiates a great idea executed well from one that is executed poorly. It's all in the technology.
Online advertising as a viable marketing channel has been in existence for less than 10 years. This means the industry still has a long way to go before it stabilizes and before online production is fully established.
The speed at which online technology develops creates a dynamic environment that can change dramatically in a matter of six months. This makes it necessary for online creatives to become fairly educated on the technical side to ensure that their ideas will be well executed on the Web. This also means that it really pays to work with the creative programmers who do the coding and who also "get" your idea.
I think interactive is really quite different from other forms of advertising. Technical implementation is basically a production component of the online advertising process. Yet there are so many technical factors that must be taken into consideration to ensure well-crafted execution of a great online advertising idea.
For this reason, it can really pay off to invite creative programmers into the ideation process. Bringing in the right kind of programmer when a concept is being developed can result in insights and solutions to obstacles that may occur later. The relationship between an art director and a copywriter can have the art director coming up with "lines" and the copywriter thinking of visual ideas. But when the "rubber hits the road," the roles become more clearly defined. This symbiotic relationship also works well with the right technical involvement in an online advertising initiative. It's basically a philosophy of knowing your medium and pushing what you can achieve to its utmost limits.
In another 10 years, perhaps the speed at which technology changes will stabilize, and the industry will support online production houses the same way it does for TV and radio. By then, bandwidth and processor speed may not be an issue. Yet, even once broadband becomes mainstream and the technology becomes ubiquitous, tech-savvy creatives most likely will still have an edge. Already, there are tons of schools sending graduates out into the world who have strong conceptual as well as technical capabilities, which wasn't the case a few years ago.
The industry may evolve to a point where bringing technology in early won't be an issue because the majority of computers will have enormous processing speed and bandwidth, allowing the execution of anything that can be imagined. Let's hope so. In the meantime, it's probably a good idea to bring technology in as soon as you think of a great idea, to ensure that what you imagined reaches your audience the way you imagined it would.
