How many courses can one woman do at once....

Oh quite a few really, its a well known fact that women can multitask. 
So here's what I am doing.  This is the art book I produced for the first of the lessons on the course 21  SECRETS.  The course is so called as there are 21 teachers who all teach a lesson (online) in different aspects of art.  
The task was to make a journal including stitched words on the front.
21 Secrets & Alchemy
I then decided to do a page of it to link to another course I am doing called ALCHEMY, where you design and plan a piece using stitch. The idea came from a piece of work I have from textile artist HELEN MCKENNA.

 I am also doing an online course called EMBROIDER, EMBELLISH CREATE with 
where we are making a wrapping cloth.  Instead of one large cloth I am going to do a series of small ones.
Embroider, Embellish, Create
 This is some more of my stitching from Alchemy.

 I am really enjoying learning to embroider and now that I can bring art into it, its doubly exciting.

No I don't bother with housework, only when I know visitors are coming.
There is always a cake at the ready though.
I am adding this as a late entry into

  3. housework very neglected here as well. and i'm familiar with signing up for too many things at once. i signed up for Karen's lace class but will be working on a piece there for my Alchemy journal so that consolidates it a bit.

  13. Hey, that's a good idea... not to join the blocks .. but, to make it slightly larger than an 8 x 10 and just make it one block smaller cloth....hmmmm....I may try that...soorrry ..... I'm an ol' copycat, me...!! 'specially when I see a great idea...! I do want to make a pincushion too like Karen's .. wonder if I can figure that out.
