Slow Stitching Sunday


This mandala is a tribute to our trip to New Zealand.  I bought a sweet little doily, some beads and wool felt while we were there.  It was five years ago!  Yikes.  It took until now for me to figure out what I wanted to do with those supplies.  I like to pick up a few trinkets while travelling and don't always know what I will do with them.  I am pretty happy with the start of this mandala. The next step is yet to be determined.


On another note, my book is published and ready for sale.  I am ever so happy to have it out there in the world.  I made hard copies for my family members.  It is a bit pricey so I have my doubts that anyone would be interested in buying it that way.  The ebook is much more affordable.  Here is the link  https://www.blurb.ca/ebooks/770820-joyful-journey  Friends and have family have told me is a lovely book.  Most of the stitch illustrations have been published on this blog.

    That doily is beautiful. It is a great memento and center for your mandala.

    Oh wow!! Congratulations, Angela, on having your beautiful book published! I followed the link and read the few pages, and oh how beautiful they are. I am a hard copy book kinda girl. =) I could only see the E-book link.....is there a place to purchase a hard copy? So, so very excited for you. Yes, indeed you are now a bona fide author and illustrator par excellence! So, so delighted for you! As for your new mandala; another wonderful pretty just beginning. New Zealand is just across the ditch from us. A most picturesque and beautiful country.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
