Princess Bubbles Creates

 Possibly, I have posted this mandala previously.  I have added some more details to it today.  This mandala is on vellum.  I was very pleased with how well the vellum took coloured pencil.  I also enjoyed using a white gel pen to add highlights.  I love it when a gel pen works properly!  

  I have been creating a frenzy of flowers.  Such a fun way to use up small bits of fabric!  The plan is to make enough to cover a couch cushion.  I might do two of them; we will see.  I just added a love seat to my enclosed front porch.  It looks so cute, and this cushion will look amazing on it.   I am dreaming of warmer days when I will sit on that love seat and do some stitching.  I love stitching outside, but the weather doesn't always cooperate with me.  The enclosed front porch will be the next best thing. I am hoping to create a bunch of flowers this afternoon. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

 Happy New Year!   I like doing a project that stretches throughout the year.  I aim to do something at least once a month.  I have yet to decide on a project for 2026.  I am not too bothered by that.  If I don't do a project like that this year, it wouldn't be the end of the world.   I like all the lovely family time that we have had this year.  It is a good thing.   I like that I have been able to have some quiet time for stitching the last couple of days.   I like linking up with all the lovely ladies who want to concentrate on something positive every week!  Thank you,  LeeAnna , for hosting!

  It feels good to be back on track with my blog posts.  It also feels weird that this is the last blog post for 2025.  I hope it has been a good year for everyone!  May next year be even better. I believe this little fish is finished.  I always reserve the right to add to it once it has found its home/purpose.  I love an underwater theme and have numerous pieces that could be put into a form.  I am considering that my underwater-themed pieces could be used to illustrate a children's book.  We will see what happens.  

 So every day I was surrounded by the beautiful crying forth of the ideas of God, one of which was you. Mary Oliver

 Yesterday was a quiet day.  A much-needed quiet day!  I was able to do a fair amount of stitching on this butterfly.  It felt so good!  Today won't be as quiet but there should still be time to do some stitching on it.  I am thinking a bit of lace might look good.  Or maybe some netting.  A little something to add more texture would be good.
