Journal Week #40

The quote this week is from Oprah - "When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes." There is some optimism for you.  I like to think of myself as an optimist as well.  I like to think that I can always find the silver lining.  This spread already had the blue backgrounds done with different watercolor techniques.  I added the sun cut from painted felt.

It makes me think of 'The Land of The Rising Sun! That name for Japan is packed with optimism, too. Yes, let's hope have a bright future everywhere.
Felt is a good 'sunny' material.

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/
