A Mandala Finish


 This mandala just needed a little something.  It was ever so close to finished but languished until the right idea came along.  I added some green beads to encircle the yellow bead in the centre.  I didn't have exactly the colour of green that I wanted but I think this yellow-green works.  This mandala is mostly composed of elements that I purchased while in New Zealand.  It is a lovely commemoration of that fantastic trip.  But, of course, this got me thinking about the beautiful fabrics I purchased on other trips.  Paris and Hawaii to be specific.  I do believe I will dig out those fabrics and consider them.  I will resist starting any more mandalas with them at this time she says with all good intentions!

I am sure whoever made this elegant doily in New Zealand will be delighted with how you have dressed it up. The doily itself must be happy to have been adopted and bedecked with beads by you and able to come and live in Canada!

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/
