Slow Stitching Sunday


 Sitting on my deck and soaking up some sunshine while beading is simply the best.  My mind drifts with the breeze.  Counting the beads is like meditation.  I am curious what my next step will be in creating this mandala.  I love the way it looks so far.  The gleam of the transfer foil makes me so happy.  More sparkling beads can only make it better!

Oh yes, more sparkling beads can only make this Mandala better. Love the transfer foil you are stitching on. I love that you are sitting on the deck, basking in the sunshine, "your mind drifting with the breeze"....beautiful!

I second what Kim said... yes... more beads and sparkle, although it does make it challenging to photograph sometimes!

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!

 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/
