Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have started working on my Remember Me challenge piece for the San Fransisco School of Needlework and Design.  I felted some funky yarns onto a wool base.  I have stitched on the smooth gold bullion that was provided in the trinket pack.  I have placed an old dog tag on this piece and I am not sure that I like it.   I think possibly with more stitching the heart-shaped dog tag will look better.  I would like this piece to be about my sweet Farley who has been gone for five years.  He was perfect.  His sweet and gentle nature was typical of a golden retriever.

Do you felt your wool from wool sweaters and similar items? That's something I've never tried. Fun way to honor your sweet dog!

It this lovely piece is all about your sweet Farley, then the dog tag would be appropriate to be in the mix. You will make it work, I just know you will. The heart shape is perfect. Love those swirly felted whirls.

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/
