Artist friends


I have said it before and I'm sure I will say it again and again.  I have the best friends.  I love them.  We talk the same language, we laugh at the same things and we all buy more art supplies than we really need!  I had the best day with Lois, Mary Lynn and Nancy.  We went for lunch at a wonderful buffet and then went art supply shopping.  What fun. 
I should probably post about the supplies that I bought but I received this wonderful package in the mail and wanted to mention it.  Sue from South Africa sent me this beautiful package of fabric.  She is so thoughtful!  She wrapped the fabric in the beige paper with the brown birds on it.  She made sure to get beautiful stamps from the post office.  I will be certain to use those gorgeous stamps in a collage.  I sent Sue some Lutrador as she couldn't find it in South Africa.  It is so cool to exchange with someone on the other side of the world!  Anyone else want to do an exchange?

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
