Delightful days

Yesterday I had the pleasure to spend time with a lovely friend.  We went to see the Higher Ground exhibit done by the Connections fibre art group http://www.connectionsfibreartists.com/ at the Guelph Civic Museum.  It was an enjoyable show.
After the show we did a little shopping and then came back to my home to create.  We experimented with wrapping wire with fabric, thread, yarn and beads.  It was relaxing and fun to chatter as we created.  I think the wrapped wire has a lot of potential.  I can see myself stitching it on to a piece tightly coiled or in a loose spiral.

Your wrapped thread looks great! I recently did a bit of wire wrapping too ( just eyelash yard around pipe cleaner) and used a few of them on the spine of a book I was working on.

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

 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/
