I have just registered for the Royal School of Needlework's Certificate in Hand Embroidery, starting in September. I am so excited. I had to share the good news with people who can appreciate just how thrilled I am

Fantastic! I'm not surprised that you're excited!!

You do realise, of course, that we will want to see samples of your work!

Also I am a wee bit with envy about you going there, as will a few others here!

Well done! I hope it is everything you want it to be. Where are you studying -- at Hampton Court?

I agree completely. Especially the part of showing samples of your work ( and being a bit with envy)

Yup. Yup.

You are all so funny
I promise there will be photos once I've fathomed out how to post pictures again.
I'd love to do it at Hampton Court, Serinde. I did a day course there in October last year and it is just beautiful, but Rugby is 40 miles down the road and Hampton Court is 120 miles away, so I'm going to do it at Rugby.

It sounds wonderful Keep us posted, please.

How wonderful! This is the first of the three-year ones, isn't it? Do you have any plans for becoming a professional emboriderer/teacher, or is this purely for the enjoyment of learning? Whatever the reason, what a great opportunity, enjoy! And drop in for a cuppa - Rugby is only three miles down the road from us

How wonderful Jo and I know you will learn lots of have some fabulous pictures for us of your work.

The bonus of course is being able to drop by and see Mabel too - how wonderful is that.

Oh my, that is so exciting. I can’t wait to see your work and “hear” all bout it.

Oooohhhhh how exciting!

You will keep us updated won't you, we will be cheering you on and arranging for the magic couch to be extended.

I'm not envious at all, honestly, well ok, maybe more than just a little bit.

Just put in the order. (That makes, I think, 2 couches and a bench now.)

It's all Jo's fault - her post reminded me that the Rugby satellite location is only 3 miles from us, and she mentioned the pay-as-you-go option. I don't want to do the whole certificate, so have contacted the RSN about options, and have now signed up for the Jacobean crewelwork module, to be followed by the goldwork one.

I think I'm happy....

(more on how I finally decided to Do It on FoF)

Good on you Mabel and Well Done the RSN for letting you do parts of it.

Well done, Mabel! Will you and Jo overlap at all, I wonder?

very likely, Serinde; I'm starting a little earlier, but I'm going to take it at an easy pace. And with 8 "contact days" per module, there is plenty of possibility for us to be there on the same day!

Just goes to show...if you want something, Just ASK!!

Fantastic that you can learn the disciplines that really interest you....and that you and Jo can get some real Quality learning...plus some coffee breaks together.
