Princess Bubbles Creates

I was able to have some stitching time with this piece in the last few days. I really like the way it is coming along. I am still pondering a way of using this for a page in my book for my granddaughter. I have the story about half written now. I know where the story is going and that feels good. I think I am on track for getting this finished in time for Christmas. Yay! I am linking to https://www.quiltfabrication.com/ https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/

Hubby and I celebrated our 34th anniversary yesterday. This photo I took at Giverny 9 years ago. Visiting Monet's garden was a dream come true. What an amazing trip we had to celebrate our 25th. Next year will be 35 and I wonder if we will be able to travel anywhere. This covid thing seems like it will never end!

This week hasn't been overly productive stitching wise. Other art opportunities have been presented and I am keen to submit something for them. Who knows if I will have my ideas accepted but I think it is worth a try. I also worked on a new technique and want to write an article about it. I would love to have it published in a magazine. I feel like this page is really close to finished. I want to do a bit more beading on the moon and possibly the tree. I think it will a pretty page in my granddaughter's book. She will love the pink flowers. I am wanting to publish this book once it is done. I hope it isn't too feminine to appeal to little boys as well! I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

+ This page for my granddaughter's book is nearing completion. The loon is just placed there right now and needs to be permanently attached. I am mainly pleased with this one. There is a quiet area on the left and that is where the text will appear. I am debating adding more beading but maybe I should leave that for now. I don't like the idea of being distracted from this project but three new opportunities have come onto my radar. I am interested in them and they even pay! I am capable of doing more than one thing at a time! I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.com/

Well, stitching has improved this piece. There are still issues with it that I don't like but I am not ready to give up on it just yet. The struggle to get it right is somewhat diminishing the fun of creating it. However, I am nothing if not persistent. I am determined to make it right. Never give up! Never say die! I guess at some point you have to give up but I am not there yet. I am linking to https://needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com/ https://www.quiltfabrication.com/

It always feels good to have my art accepted into a show. This photo is going to be printed onto a vinyl banner and will hang at a park in Jersey City, NJ. I wish I lived close enough to go and see all the other amazing art that will be hanging in the parks there. What a clever way to have art available to everyone!

I have made some progress on my little puppy. Basically, just the face left to do. That's the tricky part. That's where are all the soul and character show through. Geez, not stressful to get that right! I also need to come up with a name for him. I am leaning towards Dug but that could change. Working on this story for my granddaughter has really opened up the story teller in me. I have not thought of myself as a writer but I have been faithfully writing a blog for over ten years. I write an email to my sister almost everyday and that has been been at least 15 years. Maybe, it is just that words aren't my preferred way of communicating. Maybe, that is changing.
