Stop and smell the roses


 Gosh, I don't know how many years ago I created this collaged journal.  It was definitely before I started this blog.  The pages are filled with collages and quotes.  I pulled this one out yesterday to look through it.  This page struck me as I had been on a walk with a friend and we saw a number of roses in bloom.  Yes, I did stop to smell them.  They were heavenly.  Also, a friend sent me a photo of a rose she had seen on a walk.  It made me wonder if there was a message in the roses for me.  I looked up the symbolism of a rose and it is 'God's love at work in the world'.

I think there is a meaning in most things that happens to us, but it often takes a long time before we understand it. Don't you think that you were meant to open that journal after all these years? Memories come flooding in, the meaning of ROSE is made clear, at a time when you probably really need it. I hope it will brighten your life.

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/
