Giverny

My all time favorite painter is Claude Monet.  It was one of the best parts of our trip getting to visit his beautiful home and gardens.  The lily pond was so beautiful.  We packed a picnic lunch and enjoyed eating, people watching and generally just being in nature.  My soul longs for nature especially after being so busy in such a big city.  I love this image I captured.  I have a few actually.  I would love to print this on fabric and then do some stitching.

I can just visualize how gorgeous this would be stitched. Ah, couldn't you just live in Monet's gardens and paint every day?

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
