Princess Bubbles Creates

LeeAnna  has asked what is the most adventurous thing you've ever done?  I don't consider myself to be an adventurous person.  I have hiked to the top of a small mountain in New Zealand.  That was utterly exhausting but I am glad I did it.  I have gone parasailing in Hawaii.  I don't like heights so that was scary.  I have gone up in a hot air balloon twice.  That was the best experience out of all of these!  I am glad that I did not let fear stop me from doing these things.  Of course, having my hubby to do them with me sure helped! I like spas!  That is way more my speed.  Since our vacation was cancelled for this week, hubby and I went to a spa at Blue Mountain. The hot pools and saunas were great.  I know my sweet man does these sorts of things mainly for me.  He is lovely that way.  I am so happy that he really enjoyed himself.  He is talking about doing it again!  He wants to spend the night there...

  It is a good thing that I enjoy a challenge.  This butterfly is such a hodgepodge.  I am not loving it.  I am pondering how to bring it all together.  I think some sheer overlays might help.  It certainly needs something to pull it together!

 I am constantly amazed by how a photograph calls my attention to little problems.  Problems that I don't notice while stitching.  I am going to assume that it is because I am so into my stitching that I just get a bit lost in it.  Not a big thing except when it creates problems. In this photo, the green sequins don't stand out as much, but they do in the light of day!  I have been adding more green beads and stitches to this butterfly.  I am hoping that it will pull it all together.  I am in no way trying to go for realism with my butterflies!

LeeAnna  has asked. what was your favorite subject in school... elementary, high school, or college... or did your favorite subject change over time? what was the teacher like? do you still have an interest in that subject? ART, always ART.  Each year in high school, we had three different teachers.  There was a ceramics teacher, a printmaking teacher and a painting teacher.  I enjoyed ceramics and printmaking the most in terms of art.  Those two teachers were okay.  The painting teacher was lovely.  She always talked to us like we were actual people, not just students.   I like walking in my neighbourhood.  I like that the bitter cold has departed.  I am a bit concerned for this ice sculpture now that it is warming up a bit.  You can see containers in the background.  I think they are planning to add to this art piece.  I hope it works out for them.  I will walk by it today with a friend to check on it. I like t...

 Aw, this feels better.  I didn't have to add a lot to the tail make it look better.  Another fish finished. I still have to figure out what I will ultimately do with my fish.  Possibly they will illustrate a book for one of my grandchildren.

 I started stitching this fish a few weeks ago.  My granddaughter wanted to make one, so we stitched together.  It is a delight to teach her!  She is so keen to learn. I was thinking that this little fish was finished.  However, just now I am noticing that the tail is a bit small for the size of the fish.  Why am I just noticing this now?  The tail is the most fun for me, so I will see what I can do to make it better.  It won't take long to stitch in some more fluffy goodness!
