Work In Progress

Previously I had considered this block finished.  In reality I wasn't happy with it and was just tired of working on it.  This week I added the three mauve roses, top right.  I added some vintage handmade lace with rick rack, top left.   In the lower left I added the white lace heart and a handmade pansy I received in a swap.  Definitely some improvements.  I am still not completely happy with it but I am not giving up.

I love the fabrics you have used in this block and the colours are great. The roses look good with the daisies and the lace is beautiful.

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

Image
 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/
