Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have needle felted some funky yarns onto a piece of pebbly wool.  Then I started to add some embroidery stitches.  It doesn't look like much yet.  Don't judge a piece before it is finished!  I am using some of my wool yarns to stitch.  I have played more with the Kiko's flower stitch and think I have it figured out now.  This piece is more relaxing to stitch because I have no preconceived ideas about it.  That works better for me.  I have put my silk piece away for the moment as it was stressing me.  What is the point of stitching if it is not relaxing!

Love your colors as usual! I have needle felted, even got a machine to do it, but haven't done anything recently. Happy stitching!

Oh, I love playing without having any preconceived ideas. When you play in this way the most wonderful results always happen. Loving this pretty of yours, Angela. 'Tis so very colourful and imaginative. Enjoy your playing!

Wool on wool is great, but so is wool on silk and silk on wool, beloved me.
Kiko's Flower Stitch is a tricky one. You might want to anchor down the last Buttonhole Stitch before you add the Bullion Knot.

Stitching should definitely be relaxing! Glad you've found a project to enjoy this week. I love seeing your fun creativity!

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/
