Green Chrysanthemum update and day classs dates
I've added dates for the JEA day classes to the events page and it's also time for an update on the Green Chrysanthemum design. There hasn't been a lot to say about this one since the techniques are minimal it's a lot of the same.

Green Chrysanthemum with gold leaf
Life has been busy at work and home so I've had little time for stitching since I last posted. But I have slowly been working on all three designs which are on the go at the moment. Today it's time for a bit of a catch up on my new chrysanthemum design.

Completed and new designs
I've emptied some frames in time for the Easter holidays which I'll be able to use for some embroidery time. But first ..... the final Module design for our JEA curriculum is completed and off the frame. Happy Dance. That means that we have at least two designs for each of our first nine modules.
