A rectangle of unbleached canvas stitched with the image of a blue genie. The genie wears an orange turban decorated with a pink feather, yellow wrist bands and a yellow band around his waist. Below the waist he has a "tail" of winding blue "smoke". He has black eyebrows and a black goatee beard, and is smiling and winking. His hands are formed into "guns" that are shooting out hearts on yellow zap lines. The image is bordered with gold split stitch to look like a chain, and hemmed with black.

Blue genie project complete! This was based on a sticker from a Telegram sticker pack!

I apologise for the times I haven't had the energy to add ALT text to describe the images I post. If it was possible to go back and edit the text in I would totally do it at times when I have the spoons.

A hand embroidered patch (of the type that is sewn onto clothing) showing two skulls stacked on top of each other. The bottom skull is human, the second appears to be that of a small pony with a rainbow horn like a unicorn. A long mane flows from the top skull in locks of many different colours that graduate from one shade to another. The locks flow around both skulls and some curl into each other. There is a black background, and the whole thing is surrounded by a border of various shades of purple that blend into one another. The patch sits on top of a piece of black fabric for presentation.

Birthday present for unicorns, rainbows, skulls-loving friend complete! All hand stitched by me.

The play wot I wrote has a write up in All Things Norfolk!
See it in Norwich at the end of June.

When you're listening to an Australian True Crime podcast but you don't know anything about the crime because every time the narrate mentions the utility vehicle you have the irrepressible echolalic urge to shout "Yoot!" and pretend you're Doug from 1990s Neighbours.

I got wooted at by youths in Felixstowe, but at my age I assume they're being sarcastic. Then again I would also assume that when I was 18.

I've gathered what I need for my next embroidered badge.

Reviewing the 40-year-old Fraggle Rock episode, "The Great Radish Caper," which is sort of like The Great Muppet Caper but with radishes. Except, not at all.

A hand embroidered patch in the shape of a stylised bird, made using a combination of satin stitch and long-and-short stitch.

My first ever hand embroidered patch is finished. The border was very difficult for some reason; I broke a needle!

Beautiful swan on Oulton Broad.

Lovely afternoon to be out in Norwich City. Roast at the Reindeer, dessert at Dicks, walk home via Wensum and a cuddle within neighbour's ferret who was out for his walk with mummy!

Image shows a woman, seen from behind, half-sitting, half-lying on a sand dune surrounded by beach grass and looking out at a sandy beach, very blue sea and sky. She wears a white blouse, a black corset with fawn ribbons criss crossed at the back and a long, full, red skirt. Over her hips is a black scarf with green embroidery and tassels. Long, wild red hair tumbles down her back. There is a red ribbon in the back of her hair. The sea's waves are small and gentle. The sun light casts shadows.

It was a lovely day to go to Waxham dunes and take publicity shots for the play wot I wrote.

Reader, they fixed it and made me look like the turned out professional I was supposed to portray!

Oh great my first filming job since I can remember, I have to be in Makeup in 45 minutes and I held my mug of tea against my face for too long and look what I did!

Photograph of a half finished embroidery project on unbleached canvas, of a stylised bird seen in profile. Two different stitching techniques resulting in different textures, smooth (satin stitch) on the head and grainy (long and short stitch) on the wing. Stitching on the bird's belly yet to be completed, pencil outlines still visible on belly showing the sections to be filled.

New Work In Progress, another stitch technique under the belt (long and short stitch) look at that texture!

When faith is so great you don't need a clear view of the road (UK)

Tomorrow morning I get to do some actual proper professional filming. I've even got a call sheet! I can't remember the last time that happened.
Don't expect to see my name in lights though, it's just a short film for a county council. I'm playing a therapist.

Well the things look like what they're supposed to be so think I can call it a success.

Time to give this one another airing. This is the first audio book I ever recorded, a collaboration with my dad, who wrote *his* dad's biography. Lots of fascinating anecdotes from an exciting career at sea; a real window into early 20th Century life in the UK.
