Princess Bubbles Creates

LeeAnna  has asked What is a comfort food you love to cook or bake as the weather gets colder? I like soup.  Lots of different kinds of soup.  My hubby isn't a big fan of soup so I didn't make it for many, many years.  Now I make it and enjoy it.  I always gave my kids the option to make a peanut butter and jam sandwich if they didn't like what I prepared.  Sweet hubby can do the same. I like that there are free noon hour concerts once a week at a church not too far away.  I have been meaning to check them out for years.  I now have plans with two different friends to go in the next couple of weeks.   I like Dale Chihuly glass.  I was amazed by this piece at the Victoria and Albert Museum.  It is huge.  Just the section pictured above has to be at least ten feet. Here is a photo of the whole piece. A much smaller piece by Chihuly was donated to the local Glass and Clay Museum.  I haven't taken a photo of it yet. ...

 I have been working on the body of the unicorn stuffy I am creating.  This unicorn will be a character in the book I am doing for my second granddaughter.  I hope she doesn't grow out of loving unicorns before I get it done!  I am enjoying adding all the embroidery to this.  

  I am auditioning the butterflies on this mandala.  I printed the butterflies multiple times.  It is an image of one of my stitched butterflies.  I feel like it is an interesting way to use some of my textile work.  There is something about this mandala that I am not loving.  I am not sure what it is.  I think the butterflies are though.  What do you think?

 I have created more flowers.  These ones don't feel quite up to snuff.  I may put them back in the pile to work on further.  I think more stitching is needed on some of them.   We did our big Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, so today will be quiet.  I will enjoy some stitching time and some leftover turkey!

  LeeAnna  has asked Do you prefer fun and festive Halloween decorations or truly terrifying haunted houses? Oh, definitely the fun and festive decorations.  My neighbourhood puts up a lot of decorations.  I'm glad the motion-activated witch isn't up this year.  It freaks out Banksy.  It is huge and I always wonder where people store all these giant decorations. I like that it is Thanksgiving this weekend.  I like that all my kids and grandkids can come for a big turkey dinner.  I like a big turkey dinner and wish we did them a little more often.  Even if it were just once or twice more often per year.  They are a lot of work though.  I am grateful that everyone contributes something to make it a little easier. I like that I am getting together with some art friends this afternoon.  We always share interesting conversation, some laughs and art-making.  This group has been mainly focusing on collage.  I saw this giant ...

  I have started another scroll.  I cut a strip of fabric from a cleanup cloth.  I love the serendipity of colours.  At the moment, I think I will just use some of my metallic thread.  Is there such a thing as too much shimmer?  Yes, I suppose there is.  I am certainly not one to shy away from shimmer or colour, for that matter.  I am not afraid to let my inner child out to play!
