TAST half chevron


When will I ever learn!  When doing a new stitch I should not immediately go to a project.  That is what I did on the top photo.  Well, after a long day of looking after two sons who had their wisdom teeth surgically removed I was not firing on all cylinders but I wanted to feel like I had had a productive day so I just went for it and stitched on this month's crazy quilt journal project.  duh!  bad move!  Clearly I wasn't getting it.

Today with a clearer head I stitched on  a practice piece and thankfully I figured it out.  The lower photo shows how I added to an existing practice piece.  I like the pastel colors.  I don't usually work with them.

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/
