A box of crayons

Crayons have long been a source of amusement for me.  Since I was a little girl I have had a love affair with crayons.  The day I received a box of 64 colours I was in heaven.  I spent hours perfecting my ability to colour within the lines.  As an adult I try t throw off the bonds and confines of staying in the lines.  I don't want to be trapped within the lines.  I want to create in freedom.  The oughts and shoulds I want banished as  I have enough of those in real life.

A box of crayons can take you more places than a starship.

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/
