Mandala Monday


This mandala is far from perfect but I am still willing to share.  I saw a quote that said Perfectionism is the fear of being criticised.  That really struck a chord with me.  My lovely blog readers make it easy to post with all my imperfections.  You are all so supportive and kind.  Another quote I saw said Imperfection is a form of freedom.  That also rang true to me.  My art-making is a freedom and joy to me.

If perfectionism is the fear of being criticised by others it is something we can deal with. It is far more difficult if the critic is oneself! That kind of perfectionism might be impossible to do something about.
I often have a perfect idea of what I want to do but am not able to make it, and therefore get frustrated. I don't care too much about what others say about my stitched creations.
Stitching/crafting should be fun, that's the main thing I think.
Your mandala is perfectly charming with its starry background and cheerful pink petals.

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/
