LeeAnna  has asked   what are your fave flowers to grow or put in hanging baskets ? I am not discriminating when it comes to flowers.  They are beautiful in one way or another.  I usually choose my hanging baskets by colour.  It just depends on what I am feeling at the time.  Many years ago, I had a basket of Fuschias.  So gorgeous.  I played with my camera to get an interesting photo of one of the blooms.  At least it is interesting to me.    I had a lovely walk this week with a fairly new friend.  She is very upbeat and positive.  Love that!  We saw an amazing bug, which was a very intense red.  It wasn't a ladybug, but I don't know what it was.  I also saw a little brown mouse.  Walking in nature is so interesting!  I am so glad we were able to squeeze in the walk before the rain.  It has been a very wet week. I had a wonderful art afternoon with friends yesterday.  We are planning to ...

Work in Progress Wednesday

 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.

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 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!
