Changing your password
Monday 28th September 2009
Val: If you have forgotten your password, you can ask the computer software to issue you with another one and in return you will get a series of letters and numbers, which are impossible to remember!! However, once you have logged in you can find a 'Change my Password' option at the top righthand side of your screen under the Members tab; so you can then type in something you can remember and is also easy to type! Another option is to ask us, and we'll get back to you.

New films today
Thursday 24th September 2009
Jennie: Sleepless night, probably about 18+ hours blooming hard slog this week - everything else has gone to pot - haven't even been out for my morning trot BUT all the new stuff is up except of course the main film for my Log Cabin video - it will be corrected soon. Have got other bods in the case - they can wrestle. Also the pdf for the Log Cabin diagrams is not available yet - glitch in that too. Oh I do miss the old days when paper and pencil and Radio 4 and a good book were a lovely option...

More films coming
Wednesday 16th September 2009
Val: Last Friday we had another busy (and full) day filming with Jennifer Trollope and the wonders of the embellishing machine. If you thought you could only make felt scraps for brooches - think again! What a star Jennifer was and not just with her sewing skills - traffic meant she spent more than 6 hours in the car to join us!! Another star of the day was Kelly Aldridge - a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework showing us how to do stumpwork; this will be coming to your screens...
