Work in Progress Wednesday

Image
 I have finished stitching the yarns onto my scroll.  I am pleased with the way it looks.  I want to add some beading to this now.  The beading process is ever so relaxing and meditative to me.  I plan to use a package of beads that I have had for a very long time.  The beads are all white but of different shapes and sizes.  I think it will be interesting.

Mandala Monday

 I love that the camera was able to capture some of the gold metallic colour that I used.  Metallic and glitter can be so tricky for a camera.  I used photo paper to create this mandala, maybe that is what made the difference.

 I haven't counted, but I must have created at least 100 of these flowers.  None of them is the same.  Such fun!  I am always in awe of people's creativity.  Maybe I should take a moment to be in awe of my own creativity! Creativity is one of the great blessings of my life.  I am so grateful that I have the time enjoy making things.   The weather looks a bit iffy this afternoon.  If it cooperates, I will be doing some stitching on my deck in the sunshine!

LeeAnna  has asked   would you rather be swinging in a hammock outside or digging in your garden Oh, I would totally choose to be swinging in a hammock.  I love flowers and fresh produce but I do not like getting dirty.  I have a few pots of flowers and vegetables.  I can manage to water them.  That is as good as it gets when it comes to gardening.  Swinging in a hammock with a good book!  That is the best! I love that my niece invited me to her daughter's singing competition.  It was here in town, which was a lovely opportunity to hear Laura sing.  I love having a big family that gets along.  It was also great to have them back here for lunch.   I am so grateful for my beautiful life!

 I finished my chair.   I love the circles that I added to the seat.  It looks so cute on my front porch.  It makes a lovely seating area.  I am fully embracing the boho vibe!  My hubby is such a good sport.  I know it is not his thing but he puts up with me!  I might say he is even a bit proud of me.  He has been known to show off pictures of my funky chairs.

 Playing in a field of colour!  Oh, it makes me happy!  I would love to figure out a way to use these mandalas in one of the books I am doing for my grandchildren!

 My funky little doll is finished.  I have to start another one!  The new one will be mainly pink.  My granddaughter is all about the pink!  These dolls will be characters in a book for my second granddaughter.  I will photograph them in different situations for the story.  I also need to create a funky unicorn for the story.   The working time isn't terribly long on these dolls.  What gets me stalled is the face.  Now that I have done one, the rest should be a bit easier. I have selected the pink fabrics for the next doll.  I believe there will be some stitching time on the deck this afternoon with the pretty pinks. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
