Take a stitch Tuesday Chained cross stitch

So many stitches to learn.  I am always glad to learn new things.  It is good for the brain.  For me this stitch was easy to learn as it is combining two stitches I already know.  Of course, my stitching is not as nice and neat as Sharon's at http://pintangle.com/.  Nevertheless I am happy with it.  It is quite likely I will use this stitch again.

It was the first time for me to use the Chained Cross Stitch, and I find it nice to both work and look at.
It is quite striking worked in a straight line like you have. Let's use it again!

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/
