Princess Bubbles Creates

  It was a busy week but I did manage to add some stitches to this butterfly.  I am looking forward to a quieter week ahead and hopefully more stitching time.  It would be great if the weather cooperated and I could have my stitching time on the deck in sunshine!   I am enjoying stitching on this butterfly.  It isn't quite as scrappy as some of the other butterflies I have done.  That's okay though.  I think these colours look so lovely together.

LeeAnna has asked did you look forward to starting school (either elementary, junior high, senior high or Uni ?) No.  I love to learn, but I am too much of a free spirit to have ever really enjoyed school.  That all had to play a part in my deciding to homeschool my kids.  I am so glad they have become lifetime learners.  I am not sure if that would have happened if they went to public school here. I like that my 9-year-old granddaughter called this week Camp Gogo week.  My grandchildren call me Gogo.  She has gone to a few different camps this summer.  I hope this is the one she likes the best.  I am pretty sure it is.  We have been doing loads of fun art projects.  

LeeAnna has asked what back to school supply would you like to have now as an adult? Fresh new notebooks? markers or new crayons? fat pack of ruled paper? lunchbox?  LOL  tell us your fave LOL, school/office supplies make me happy.  The brightly coloured sticky notes make me unreasonably happy.  I found some that are star-shaped and couldn't resist them!  New crayons and markers are also irresistible to me.  Crayola now has a box of 152 colours!  Think how much fun you could have with that! I like that I got to go to Ripley's Aquarium last week with three of my grandchildren and other family members.  It was a good day.  Everything worked out so nicely.  We took the train to Toronto, which is so much more relaxing than driving.  The kids loved the train ride.  Doing something for the first time is so exciting.   Even though I am never excited for summer to end, I am enjoying that the mornings are a bit cooler.  I...

 More funky flowers to share!  They are so fun!  I have a few thoughts on how I might use them.  I should probably get busy and make more.  I have barely made a dent in my scrap stash!

  I should have used a different coloured background paper so this mandala would stand out better.  This one was a bit of a cheat.  I used a sticker in the centre.  

 I have been slow stitching scrolls for years.  I love the way they look in my baskets.  I have thought that I would like to display them so that all the work can be seen.  My middle son helped me with an idea for that.  I plan to submit it to an art call.     I am working on scroll number 21 right now.  It is a strip of an old bed sheet that I have stamped.  I am now stitching into the stamp designs.  I may even finish it today!
