Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have added more stitching to this butterfly.  I gave a new stitch a try, thanks to Queenie. She posts marvellous instructions.  

This butterfly is feeling very disjointed and needs something to pull it all together.  I will put on my thinking cap and figure it out.  Art sometimes has to go through an ugly stage before it gets good.  I won't give up on it.

    Queening looks like someone I should follow - it would be fun to practice some new stitches! I don't think your butterfly is ugly at all, but I do sometimes think that about my own work. I agree - don't give up on it!

    When I saw the photo on Kathy’s Quilts, I thought it might be yours. Fun project!

    Oh, I am so glad you used Kashmiri Ball Stitch. It IS a beautiful stitch. I like that it looks complex, but is easy to execute.

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads.  I was thinking it is finished.  I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me.  I am not loving this piece at the moment.  I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.

   I am glad that  LeeAnna  asks these questions.  It is fun to think about the answers! did you get school clothes and shoes for the start of school? Did you look through the enormous Sears catalogue at all the possibilities and dream?  Remember going to the store with probably a mom, and trying on clothes? A shoe store for your "school shoes" Back-to-school shopping was not done in our home.  Mom bought clothes when she found a good bargain.  Mom sometimes would sew or knit for us.  We also got hand-me-downs.  We were always clean and appropriately dressed for the season.  I hated the ugly footwear she would buy for me.  I now have a very large collection of gorgeous shoes!  Lots of sparkles! My family got together this past weekend.  Cousins, aunts, and uncles all came together for a barbecue at my home.  There were 30 of us all told.  14 of which were under the age of 16.  It is lovely to get caught...

 I think my little fish is finished.  I had thought about adding beads but there is enough sparkle on this little fish.  Some loose threads need to be clipped or trapped underneath when I stitch it into its home.  I had so much fun stitching this fish that I have started another one.  I am also thinking about doing a butterfly in the same way.   They will all find a home in the right project eventually.  In the meantime, I will enjoy the slow stitching!
