Sparkling finds

I really don't need more supplies.  I guess most of us don't.  Still I love the thrill of the hunt.  Plus my Mom loves to haunt thrift stores with me so we have fun together.  This week I found the glitzy yellow fabric.  I generally don't work a lot with yellow but who knows....   The pearl clip on earrings don't sparkle but they were too pretty to pass up.  The shiny belt will be cut and used in small pieces.  The gorgeous glass buttons were in a bag that was only a dollar!  I am sure these pieces will find a home in my art somewhere!  Happy Mother's Day to all!

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/
