Princess Bubbles Creates

 I created this mandala in Kaleidoscope Kreator.  I used a photo of some of my stitching.  I love playing with this program.  I wish I could get my snowflake templates installed again.  I have a new computer and for some reason, two template packages didn't transfer.  Maybe one of my tech-savvy sons can help me with it.  I am pretty good with tech but sometimes I need help!

 Here is another section of this scroll.  I am ever so close to having it finished!  Finishes always feel so good as then I give myself permission to start another.  I have a few ideas waiting in the wings and sometimes it is really hard to wait.  Alright, I admit it, I don't always wait! I have one basket full of my scrolls.  I have a second basket about half full as well.  I am trying to figure out where to put the baskets.  I still don't have my house put in order from the reno we finished last month.  Plus, we will be starting another reno this fall.  No, we are not crazy.  Maybe it is best I don't put the baskets of scrolls out until all the renos are done.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

LeeAnna  and the gang are discussing   I just saw recipes for Fudgecicles would you want a fudgecicle or orange creamcicle? I would definitely choose an orange creamcicle.  I am not a big fan of chocolate, unless it is extremely good chocolate!  My favourite cold treat is Dole Whip, which we first had when we were in Hawaii.  It is so yummy and refreshing.  We found an ice cream place that sells it here in town!  We went a few weeks ago with the grandkids.  Yum. I like having the house to myself!  Hubby does a yearly camping trip with a bunch of guys.  He will return tonight.  I have enjoyed a week of not cooking!  Still, I will be glad to have him home.  I have been watching The Gilded Age this week.  I love a period piece.  It is done by the same people who created Downton Abbey.  I like it when women support women, and artists support artists.  I just learned that Georgia O'Keeffe and Yayoi Kusa...

 I created this mandala starting with the metallic blue sticker in the middle.  I almost always start my mandalas from the centre and work my way out to the edge.  That is what feels right to me.  Does this mandala look like a bloodshot eyeball or a fiery world? Or both?

 I believe this wool mandala is finished.  It is time to pull out all the mandalas for this project.  They will be stitched to a quilt.  I will put them all in place but before stitching them to the quilt, I will decide if any of them need some more embroidery added.   I will need to lay it out on the floor to get a good look.  Small problem with that though.  My golden retriever is shedding big time.  There is no chance of laying it out without getting covered in fur.  Even if I thoroughly sweep as the fur gets everywhere and flies about. It feels good to have this project nearing completion.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

LeeAnna  has asked could you hula hoop? Did you or a friend have one and learn to use it?  What do you remember about them? Nope, never could master the hula hoop.  I have some for the grandkids to play with and have tried again but still not capable of it.  No worries, I can do other things!  We saw a magnificent hula hoop demonstration when we were in Hawaii.  Wow, I was impressed.  I was mesmerized! I don't know how to make one go around and those people had multiples! I love being inspired by other stitchers.  Two that I have really been enjoying on Youtube are  Marion's World Annie Claxton Nectarines and peaches are in season!  Yipee!  I love the wonderful fresh fruit that is available in the summer.  Such a delicious treat.  

  It feels good to have this project finished.  All of the pages have been painted and then cut.  The small embroidery has been completed and attached to the front cover.  Sometimes I need to do a project that doesn't take terribly long.  I like finishes and need to have one every so often!
