Taking the plunge

Over the past few months on my RSN course I've been hugely inspired and helped by the various people who's blogs I have been following.  I think because I can only attend class once a month it been almost like a little online community, but I feel like a bit of a stalker and now it's time for me to take the plunge and put something out there in return.  

I have decided to call my blog after my grandmother, Gladys Maud Nancarrow, a wonderful embroiderer and passionate member of the embroiderers guild.  She taught me much of the basics as a child that I'm now extending into what I think of as "proper" stitching.  

I hope to share my progress and my challenges with you, and hopefully get some help when things get tough.  Enjoy the ride!
