LeeAnna    has asked Do you ever sing in the sho wer? ( do you have a go to song you sing a l ot?) I rarely sing in the shower.  I won't say never, but it doesn't happen very often.  Maybe I will try do it more.  It certainly can't hurt! Once our grandchildren get to a certain age, we start giving them experiences for birthdays and Christmas.  We took Juniper to the Royal Botanical Gardens so see a wonderful light display.  It was absolutely magical.  She told me she loved it and thanked me at least three times.  We all loved it.  There were trees with sensors, so when you hugged them, they lit up!  There was another tree that when you sang to it the colours of the lights changed.  So fun! I like that the busyness of the holidays is over.  I loved every minute of being with family and friends.  Now I am ready for quieter times!  I like having a quiet lifestyle!

Work in Progress Wednesday

 I did crayon rubbings on this fabric and then added slow stitch.  It was one of the quickest scrolls I have done!  Next time, if there is a next time, I will overlap the rubbings to make it more interesting.

Mandala Monday

 Possibly, I have posted this mandala previously.  I have added some more details to it today.  This mandala is on vellum.  I was very pleased with how well the vellum took coloured pencil.  I also enjoyed using a white gel pen to add highlights.  I love it when a gel pen works properly!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
  I have been creating a frenzy of flowers.  Such a fun way to use up small bits of fabric!  The plan is to make enough to cover a couch cushion.  I might do two of them; we will see.  I just added a love seat to my enclosed front porch.  It looks so cute, and this cushion will look amazing on it.   I am dreaming of warmer days when I will sit on that love seat and do some stitching.  I love stitching outside, but the weather doesn't always cooperate with me.  The enclosed front porch will be the next best thing. I am hoping to create a bunch of flowers this afternoon. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

 Happy New Year!   I like doing a project that stretches throughout the year.  I aim to do something at least once a month.  I have yet to decide on a project for 2026.  I am not too bothered by that.  If I don't do a project like that this year, it wouldn't be the end of the world.   I like all the lovely family time that we have had this year.  It is a good thing.   I like that I have been able to have some quiet time for stitching the last couple of days.   I like linking up with all the lovely ladies who want to concentrate on something positive every week!  Thank you,  LeeAnna , for hosting!

  It feels good to be back on track with my blog posts.  It also feels weird that this is the last blog post for 2025.  I hope it has been a good year for everyone!  May next year be even better. I believe this little fish is finished.  I always reserve the right to add to it once it has found its home/purpose.  I love an underwater theme and have numerous pieces that could be put into a form.  I am considering that my underwater-themed pieces could be used to illustrate a children's book.  We will see what happens.
