Take a Stitch Tuesday

Buttonhole Wheel Cup is one that I learned from Sharon B a few years ago.  I have used this stitch many times since I learned it.  It is a great stitch.  Here I stitched it on handmade paper and added beads to it.  Okay, so technically it doesn't raise up into a cup formation.  Too bad, I love the way it looks.

The beads make it look very pretty.
Would a few more rounds of stitches help to build up that 'wall' and give you a 3-D effect?

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/
