I didn't lie intentionally


 Yesterday I posted about not starting any more mandalas until I finish some.  Well, that was a mistake.  I signed up to participate in the San Fransisco School of Needlework challenge 'Purple Reign'.  I signed up a few weeks ago and had no idea what I would do.    I was pretty certain I would be doing a purple mandala but I wasn't clear about anything else.  Well, yesterday the idea came to me and I had to get started on it.  The mandala stencils I purchased a while back had yet to be used.  I was sure one of them would be reminiscent of a crown.  I used purple Lumiere Paint to stencil it onto some fabric.  The shimmer is there but a bit tough to see in the photo.  Now to add beads and stitch.

THAT'S the way to work. When inspiration comes, grab it with both hands, however many promises you have made not to start any new projects. With this WIP you will HAVE to finish it as I presume there is a deadline.
Have fun enjoying this beautiful stencilled mandala.

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/
