Coming to you from Europe

Have you missed me? I have been in Paris with no Internet access. I am now on the French Riveria in an apartment that has wifi. I can hardly believe that this dream of mine has finally come true! I am so blessed.
Paris was a whirl wind. I went to the flea market where I found a few treasures. I will post pictures when I get home. We went to the Louvre, Orsay, Versailles,the Eiffel tower, Luxenburg Gardens,the Tuilleries, the Champs Elyses. We took a river cruise on the Seine. we went to Giverny and saw Claude Monet's gardens. I got some great photos there!
I even found a calligraphy shop in Paris. She had a wall of envelopes done in marvelous calligraphy. I sure wish I would have got a photo of that.

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/
