Slow Stitching Sunday

This beaded mandala I stitched a while ago.  All that was left to finish it was the outer edge.  I struggle with that area.  I can't do straight for the life of me!  So, I experiment with different ways of finishing.  I am quite happy with the way I framed this one with buttons.  I have a good stash of buttons which is a really good thing when you need this many black buttons.  I will definitely do this again!  I need to go digging for dark blue buttons for another a piece.  I may need to hit some thrift stores!

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/
