Bits and Pieces

I honestly don't know why I save the ends of threads.  It almost seems crazy.  I know I am not the only one that does it though so there is some comfort in that.  I felt the need to experiment with them and created a sheet of 'fabric' with them.  Interesting result but now what.  Last week I was thinking about a stalled project and decided to try creating a leaf with this new 'fabric'.  I love it. It is lacey and colourful, textural and sparkly.  I think I have to make some more of these leaves for that project.

I save my threads too. I sandwiched some of my saved threads between a piece of batik and very fine tulle. I then handed stitched the layers together and made a fabric book cover.

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/
