Princess Bubbles Creates

Double Whipped Chain Stitch is such a nice looking stitch.  Thanks to  Sharon B  for the instructions.  The last time I tried this stitch I added a bead to the whipped part.  Beads are always good!  This time I just used regular embroidery thread.  It looks alright but I think I might add more spokes to this.

Even with its minor imperfections, this is a beautiful bloom!

Purple and green are the colors for our April sinchie challenge.  My base is fabric, paper, and paint.  I drew on the leaf but then didn't know what to do next.  This morning I saw something done by Kim Thittichai.  She loves all things glitter as much as I do!  I was inspired to get out my glitter and transfer foil.  It has made the five-year-old inside me very happy.  Now what else can I glitter?

'Some days you need to create your own sunshine.'  This quote speaks to me of being proactive.  I like to think of myself as proactive.  I am not one to sit around waiting for someone to make me happy.    I choose to fill my days with beauty.  Even when dealing with serious life issues there are ways to create joy and sunshine.

Stitching on my crazy quilt block for April.  I am not too sure about the placement of that lace.  It is probably going to have to move.  I can hardly believe that it is April and this is the last month that I have anything definite planned for my CQJP.  I am leaning towards doing a CQ book.  I think someone else participating in the project is doing a book and I really like that idea.

I decided to try the Whipped Spoke stitch on handmade paper.  I haven't work on it for a while.  Obviously, not every stitch will work well on paper.  I think this one works alright.  Part of the circle I whipped three times but could not continue all the way around because the thread would not pass.  I didn't want to rip the paper.  I don't mind that it is uneven.  I kind of like that you can see the spoke stitches.  Thanks to Sharon B at  Pintangle  for the great instructions.

I was delighted to find some lovely flowers at work today.
