bead journal project for June

This bead journal project is very enjoyable.  I was concerned that I would not be able to keep up with it.  I am finding that I am very keen on getting each month finished though.  I had June finished at least a week ago!  I will start on July soon.  There is a fair amount of beading on this but you do have to look closely to see it as I was working monotones.  I looked forever to find the shell slices.  Aren't they great?

Indeed, the shell slices are fabulous... BUT,by themselves they are a 5; whereas WITH your fiber and bead embellishments they are a 10++++ (that's on a scale of 0-10)!!! Really, your embroidery fascinates me... mixed stitches, mixed threads... all working together to bring forward design and flow and a feeling of calm (in this case). BRAVO!!!!

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/
