Slow Stitching Sunday


 My clean-up cloth is becoming full of texture and colour.  Oh my gosh!  I am having so much fun with this!  Over the years I have saved the tiniest of scraps.  Beautiful silks that I can't bare to toss.  A piece of painted and burned felt that the dog ripped apart, lower left.  He made a very interesting shape.  Some hand-painted fabrics and interesting yarns have also been attached.  

Interesting embroidery stitches have been added.  I am using some of my hand-dyed threads.  Yum! It is all coming together but there is still a lot to do.  I have started picking out beads to add but must resist stitching them on just yet.  This is a giddy playground for my soul.  

When this is finished it will be attached to a box lid.  The box houses some collages I have made.  Well, I am still making them.  If you are really interested you can see some of the collages on Instagram.  @angelagrasse

This is fabulous, It just goes to show that you can always find a use for everything and don't throw anything away. You have a great talent for putting bits together like this, I'm looking forward to seeing it when its done.

Both you and the dog must have had fun creating this piece of sparkling treasure! Yes, beads have to wait until the last stage. Difficult, but easiest, if you see what I mean!

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/
