You can find the instructions for Fern stitch from Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2014/10/14/take-a-stitch-tuesday-134-fern-stitch/  This is a simple stitch but it looks good!  I found it quite easy to learn and I look forward to using it more.  My first attempt is in the top photo.   My second attempt is the lower photo.  I added some French knots but need to add some more.

I have been playing some more with my idea of photographing things behind glass.  I am quite pleased with it! I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

I am super excited that this show is going to be installed next week!

This the start of my bead journal project for October.  I am making a point of learning new bead embroidery stitches each month.  I am having so much fun with this.  My mind is spinning with new ideas. I am linking with http://pintangle.com/ and http://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.ca/

Sharon B at  http://pintangle.com/2014/10/07/take-a-stitch-tuesday-133-triple-chain/  teaches us the Triple Chain stitch this week.  What a cool stitch!  It looks fairly complicated but it is not.  The fabric I stitched into was a bit thick and therefore a little unpleasant.  I found myself getting a little impatient with it.  Never a good thing.  I definitely want to try this again. It might look really good with a couple of colors of thread.

I bought this slice of a shell so that I could do rubbings with it.  Oh how I love the spiral shape!  I took this shell down from the shelf the other day to clean it and the shelf.  Go figure, me cleaning!  I realized as I set it down that should capture its beauty in a photograph.  I am pleased with it.

Here it is.  I see a bit of an issue to the left of the butterfly.  I am not really liking it but I am not sure how to fix it.  It also isn't the end of the world and I am not going to get bent out of shape about it.
