I was playing around with my camera again.  I am so blessed to get to play.  It brings me a lot of joy.  I am not super excited about this image but it is kind of cool.  I definitely have to do some more exploring with this technique.

This is my bead journal project for Sept.  I learned the beaded Herringbone stitch and incorporated it into this piece.  I think it turned out fairly well.  I enjoy the process.  The hours drift by so pleasantly when stitching.

Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2014/09/23/take-a-stitch-tuesday-131-beaded-lock-stitch/  shares instructions for the Beaded Lock Stitch.  I am a sucker for beads so I love this stitch.  I used Petite Very Velvet thread by Rainbow Gallery.  It is fairly thick thread and I was delightfully surprised how easy it was to stitch with it.

I guess it is fairly obvious what this is.  Still I love the abstract quality of it!  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/

I am excited and pleased to be teaching at the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery next month.  I will be teaching Introductory Crochet on October 26, 2014.  It is going to be a really fun class.  My classes are always fun, at least that is what my students say!  Come join me for a fun afternoon.    https://www.kwag.ca/en/programs/resources/kwag_communityflyer_fall2014.pdf

This is my start on my Sept. CQ block.  It is such a late start!  I really don't like being behind but I have to realize it is okay to take my time.  The whole summer was so draining and bouncing back immediately isn't realistic.  Actually, I should be grateful that I feel creative at all.

This is the double lock stitch.  Instruction can be found at  http://pintangle.com/2014/09/09/take-a-stitch-tuesday-129-and-130-lock-and-double-lock-stitch/     It isn't very different from the Lock stitch other than it is done on both sides of the the straight stitches.  Mine looks a little messy.  I think a thicker thread would make it look nicer.
