Slow Stitching Sunday


This mandala is a tribute to our trip to New Zealand.  I bought a sweet little doily, some beads and wool felt while we were there.  It was five years ago!  Yikes.  It took until now for me to figure out what I wanted to do with those supplies.  I like to pick up a few trinkets while travelling and don't always know what I will do with them.  I am pretty happy with the start of this mandala. The next step is yet to be determined.


On another note, my book is published and ready for sale.  I am ever so happy to have it out there in the world.  I made hard copies for my family members.  It is a bit pricey so I have my doubts that anyone would be interested in buying it that way.  The ebook is much more affordable.  Here is the link  https://www.blurb.ca/ebooks/770820-joyful-journey  Friends and have family have told me is a lovely book.  Most of the stitch illustrations have been published on this blog.

Oh wow!! Congratulations, Angela, on having your beautiful book published! I followed the link and read the few pages, and oh how beautiful they are. I am a hard copy book kinda girl. =) I could only see the E-book link.....is there a place to purchase a hard copy? So, so very excited for you. Yes, indeed you are now a bona fide author and illustrator par excellence! So, so delighted for you! As for your new mandala; another wonderful pretty just beginning. New Zealand is just across the ditch from us. A most picturesque and beautiful country.

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/
