Slow Stitching Sunday


 I have added some more trims and lace to my crazy quilt block.  I have also added a mermaid tail.  I painted some felt and cut out the shape.  My granddaughter noticed it and thought it was absolutely wonderful but wondered why it didn't have a head.  Well, heads are the hardest part for me and I kind of like that is just the tail.  I am not quite sure what is next for this block.  It never hurts to let things percolate a bit.

Or maybe the mermaid has dived into the block so only her tail is visible, Angela. ;)
It is a beautiful crazy block love the colors.

I love the addition of the mermaid tail! I always just add the back of the head with the hair for the mermaids. I can do hair pretty well in yarn and stitches and such. Great work, I love it!

Letting things percolate works for me, too. =) Love the mermaid tail. Aren't children sweet? All that craziness is beautiful; the fabrics all shimmer with delight!

Ivani had a good point!
A smart way to avoid having to make a face is to just do the flowing hair. Especially in the water, or on a windy day, you just need to add a lot of tangles!
I love the colours.

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/
