Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have started another mandala.  I cut a kirigami shape and used it as a mask.  This fabric was originally plain white.  Yesterday was a quiet day for us, which was welcome after all the festivities this past month and there are still more to come.  I used that quiet day to watch Christmas movies and stitch some beads on this newest creation.  There will definitely be more stitching done today.  The only other thing that must be done is take down our Christmas.  This tree has been the worst we have ever had.  It is dropping needles in showers.  I am not excited for the mess it will make being taken down.  Oh well, it has to be done and there will still be plenty of time for stitching.

We were later putting up our tree this year so very few needles have fallen. A quiet day stitching sounds wonderful!

That's really beautiful, Angela! I love the sparkle that the beads add. I'm sorry to hear about your tree - I'm sure it will be a relief to get that chore finished!

Love this one, my favorite color! My yard is a mess. The wind has been blowing, I have leaves all over the place, and lots and lots of rain! Happy Stitching and Happy New Year!

If your Christmas tree is dropping needles like showers, then your bead bucket is dripping beads like another shower: Plenty of wonderful beads have landed on your new mandala.

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/
