Focus on Finishing

Apologies for the length of time I've been absent - just a case of work and life getting in the way, unfortunately. Hopefully it won't be quite so long before the next post!

I am a little mortified, however, as I had prepared 3 separate posts over the last 12 months for posting, with all the latest tutorials that I had found to be added to the site, and they were all sitting in Draft format and not even published ... I've now combined them all together below in one list.

Hopefully I'll be able to share some new tutorials shortly, as I aim to get some life balance back and return more wholeheartedly to my needlework endeavours in my spare time - which means more time being spent keeping this blog, and my own personal blog, up-to-date and active! That also means getting some items finish-finished so I can prepare the tutorials ... which means it's a win-win situation - more tutorials, and my finishing pile being reduced!! :D

Thanks for bearing with me in the meantime - hopefully you have still found the tutorial links useful, even without the blog being active in recent times!

Without further ado, here are the latest tutorial links that have been added to the links pages at various times recently (and not-so-recently):
