Some days I really wish I lived in London! This weekend, from March 23-24, a few lucky people will get to take a 2-day workshop with contemporary needlepoint artists extraordinaire Emily Peacock and Emily Mackey at the Victoria & Albert Museum.

According to the workshop description, participants will learn to “master a range of basic hand embroidery stitches as you work with silk. Then become the designer, as you create your own eye-catching letter cushion using wool and canvas.”

The workshop is sold-out — no surprise there, but you can oogle Emily Peacock’s gorgeous needlepoint kits on her website and maybe dream of flying to England one day.
