April Bead Journal so far

Image
I am making good progress on my bead journal for April.  It is getting pretty close to finished.  The turquoise beetle bead in the upper left corner was given to me from a treasured friend.  She travels the world and always brings me back a little something.  I try to honor her thoughtfulness by using said gifts.

Journal Page

Wow!  I am kind of proud of myself for sticking with this journal prompt  facebook group.  Maybe because it is just once a week .  I don't know but I am enjoying it.  I colored the clip art butterfly and added the words -  my path is filled with happiness.  I realize it is pretty tough to read in the photo.

Work in Progress Wednesday

Image
I created a bountiful, bevy of butterflies.  I have a clever idea for an altered book and will be incorporating these butterflies into it.  I need to add some stitching to the felt/sheer fabric butterflies.  The butterflies cut from decorated papers might need a little something added to them but most will be fine as they are.  I am having a lot of fun with this.

Take a Stitch Tuesday

Image
The Triangular Buttonhole stitch is not one that I use much.  Trying it here on handmade paper it worked alright.  Working it in a circle form I am not so sure about that.  Thanks to  Sharon B  for the instructions.

Little textile landscapes

Image
I have been creating some small landscapes.  Postcard size actually.  I am planning to submit the idea as a workshop to the Maker's Fair.  The idea has to work for all ages so I figured it is best to keep it fairly simple and no sewing.  It could be fun.

Journal page for Colour me Positive

Image
I like this quote.  Once you choose hope anything can happen.  I believe choosing hope is a choice.  I copied this from the  Colour Me Positive  blog. Hope is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one’s life or the world at large. As a verb, its definitions include: “expect with confidence” and “to cherish a desire with anticipation”.
