Princess Bubbles Creates

 I guess it isn't possible to love every mandala I create.  I am not a big fan of all the white space on this one.  I did enjoy creating it and that is good enough.

  I have started another butterfly.  I've tacked down all the fabric pieces.  I have stitched some interesting yarn to outline the butterfly.  Now the fun part can happen.  I love adding the embroidery to these butterflies.  Going through my scraps, finding the right pieces, and placing them is also a lot of fun for me.  It is all good. It has been a while since I have done a stitched mandala.  I am thinking it might be fun to try one with this method.  Do I really need to start another project?  Probably not!  I might do it anyway!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

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!
