Slow Stitching Sunday


 I was pretty excited when I found these dragonfly charms.  I love dragonflies!  I knew the charms would work well on a mandala, of course.  I do get a little concerned that people will get bored with my mandalas but that is not enough to stop me from creating them.  I just keep thinking of more and more ways to make a mandala.  And it feels really good creating them.  

I also added some interesting brass charms.  I would like to add more bugs.  Maybe butterflies would work well on this.  It is weird to me that the colour of the dragonflies is pretty accurate but the fabric looks more pink than purple in this photograph.

The dragonflies look lovely, and you can't have too many mandala's, you have to do what you enjoy. Have a lovely Sunday. 🙂

Great mandala, and I never get tired of seeing them. I saw a dragonfly sit down on one of my tomato stakes the other day and had a bit of a rest, then flew off. Don't see them very often.

Oh, I could never get tired of seeing your mandalas, as each one is different and may I say, lovely. Those dragonflies were a find. They look amazing on the fabric.

Hmmm, your fabric looks quite purple to me. I love all the different ideas you come up with for these mandalas. They actually give me ideas for cross-stitch and quilting. Those dragonflies are fantastic.

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/
