Work in Progress Wednesday


 I have a lovely collection of beaded fabrics.  Mostly the fabric came from saris I collected from thrift stores.  Sometimes they seem too precious to cut up but what else am I going to do with them!  I decided to piece some together to make a cover for a box/book.  Love it!  Beads make me happy.  I totally enjoy stitching beads but I don't have to be the one who stitches them to enjoy them.  Now that the cover is finished I need to continue working on the pages inside.  The pages are made from interesting papers I have created over the years.  They need to be bound together in some way.  Pondering that.

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

Image
 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/
