Slow Stitching Sunday


 Okay, I think this is what I am doing with my bear.  He has not been stitched down as yet.  Nor has the blue piece of fabric on top of him.  I am not sure I love the blue fabric.  I think the shape is good and the placement of the bear works.  I will need to add some stitched blueberries but I have to decide about the fabric piece for certain first.


I have dreams of grandeur for this book.  I would absolutely love to for it to be a best seller.  Wouldn't that be fun!  When I start going down that road of dreaming I start putting too much pressure on myself.  Ultimately, this book is for Juniper.  I want her to love it.  Anything else is a bonus.

Such beautiful detailed stitching! It sounds like a creative idea (a book!) is percolating as you stitch... very exciting!

Angela, one needs to enlarge this gorgeous photo, to see all the tiny intricate embroidery details. All those little flowers and the stitching on the trees are exquisite. I have looked at each one and think to myself how beautiful each and every one is. The little bear is adorable. About the blue, I would imagine it is going to have pretty stitches?? Ultimately, it is all in your clever and beautiful imagination, so you will know whether it is pleasing to your eye. As for the book.....I would love it to rest on my bookshelf so that I can pull it out time and time again and just drink in each beautiful page. A book such as this, needs to be appreciated by everyone as the whimsy and beauty within each page would put many a smile in their day. Oh, I think Juniper isn't the only person who will love your book! Your book reminds me of the amazing collage books of Jeanne Baker I used to read to my girls. Have you seen them?? Like your will be....they are a delight to the eyes.

Hi Angela, I'm sure that Juniper will love it! The blue is ok but I bet that you could add all kinds of stitches and make it great! :-) Take care

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/
