Journal Page

It feels very good to be back into my regular routine.  Am I getting old?  I never used to love routines.  I guess I still don't love routines.  I love the time to explore and create as I choose.  My two installations are finished and the opening is tonight.  I am ever so pleased with the installations and myself!  This has been challenging for me and I definitely rose to the challenge.  I am excited to pursue more such challenges!  I am also excited to have a bit of downtime to pursue my regular stitching and journals.  Today I learned a new term, a commonplace book.  Turns out this has what I have been doing for years.  I thought I was a bit of a failed journaler but I am not alone. FromWikipedia  Commonplace books are a way to compile knowledge, usually by writing information into books. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas.

Congratulations of your installations. It must be wonderful to have all the work behind you, and the success and fame to look forward to.
My commonplace book is a river of information!

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/
