Princess Bubbles Creates

  I have always saved the tiniest bits of silk ribbon.  I don't like to waste anything if I can help it.  And silk always seems precious to me so really don't want to toss it out.  I found the perfect place to use some of those bits.  I think they work perfectly for this fish's tail.   I still need to add an eye to this little fishy.  I also think that the velvet section is in need of some stitching.

  Do not depend on the hope of results. You may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps results opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results, but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself That quote by Thomas Merton was from Letter to a Young Activist.  It seems to me that is appropriate for artists as well.   This mandala isn't beautiful but I enjoyed creating it.  

4. Do you like puzzles? what kind? jigsaw, things like rubiks cube or slide puzzles, written ones like crossword or sudoku ? I do like puzzles.  Hubby and I do Connections together almost every night.  I do Wortendo on my own almost every day.  I also like to do Sudoku.  I want to keep my mind as sharp as possible! I like tea with a friend!  Circumstances have prevented me from getting together with a dear friend for more than a few months.  Yesterday  it finally worked and we had such a lovely time together.  She has twin granddaughters now!  Seeing the video clips and hearing their giggles was delightful! Speaking of granddaughters, Marigold, who is not quite two, said "Dodo funny" the other day.  My grandkids call me Gogo, but she can't quite say it yet.  I love being silly with them.  We were goofing around, and I howled like a wolf.  I really committed to it, and she thought it was funny.  It makes me smile to th...

  I am sure I have posted this journal in the past.  It was probably a long time ago.  It is one of the first crazy quilt pieces that I did.  This lovely journal has sat on my shelf for years.  It was time to be used.  What was I waiting for? The right idea to come along.  I have filled it with quotes.  Quotes are often sprinkled through my journals.  It is nice to have a journal that is solely for quotes.  I love how quickly it came together.  

 I have started a new journal to house my mandalas.  This journal is larger than the last one I used.  It will be an interesting playground!  

 I finished my pillow cover!  I love it!  Even though a bit of orange is popping through, I won't try to cover it up.  I actually don't mind the bit of orange.  The whole thing being orange was too much for me.  I can handle tiny bits.   This reminds me of Milliefori glass.  It was fun to use up small bit of fabric and I have a few flowers/circles leftover.  I hate wasting so I am contemplating how I should use them up.  I am leaning towards doing another scroll.  Any other ideas?
