Slow Stitching Sunday


 I made some progress on this mandala this week.  It is always delightful for me to take my stitching outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.  That is actually why I took up stitching.  It is so portable.  When my boys were young, I could watch them and still get a little something done.  Such busy but happy days!  It is rainy and grey here today so there will be no stitching done outside.

I always forget to take my stitching outside, and I know it would be enjoyable! Your mandala is a pretty design. It's fun to see how you embellish your projects!

Your Mandala is so pretty, Angela. I love those little ribbon butterflies flittering around and around. It's lovely to sit outside and happily stitch, isn't it. I too, have many happy memories of hand stitching outside whilst watching my little girls play.

Take the opportunity to work outdoors when you can. It is so refreshing, and maybe there will be butterflies that come and settle on your mandala!

Beautiful piece! It has been too hot here to work outside, I would love to though. Have a great week!

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/
