Slow Stitching Sunday

 

Did you miss me?  These past two weeks flew by!  Holidays are wonderful but so is being home.  I brought some floofy book pages to stitch while I was in Europe.  There wasn't a ton of time for stitching but there was a bit while on the train.  The views of Switzerland from the train were stunning.  But the longest tunnel in the world was also on our route so definitely had time to put in a few stitches then.  

I am glad that I packed a few stitching supplies.  They didn't take up much space or weigh much and we all know how good it feels to put in a few stitches!  Will I be adding more stitches today or not?  I would definitely like to see my family today!  Not sure how the energy will be.  My body is still on Europe time and I was up way too early this morning.  I don't know how the day will go.  

I saw some wonderful old stitching at a museum in Bern.  I love that stitching held so much value hundreds of years ago.  The one tapestry we saw was absolutely massive.  I wonder how many stitchers worked on it and how long it took.

Welcome home from vacation! I always take a hand stitching project with me when we go away too.

I don't think I could bring any of my stitching to Europe. First I would be afraid of losing something, second I would be too busy sightseeing. Your pages are looking good.

I hope you had a wonderful trip! It's always nice to take along some hand stitching, just in case you need it!

I can imagine the passing scenery of Switzerland would have one transfixed. Your holiday sounds wonderful. Did you take lots of photos of the Museum at Bern?? Centuries old needlework/tapestries would be a marvel to see.

Holidaying in Europe how lovely! I’ve spent many holidays in Switzerland but my brother has lived there for 40+ years so lots of opportunities. Hope you get some stitching done between catching up on sleep!

A sightseeing holiday trip is for LOOKING at things. There is nothing to look at in the world's longest tunnel, so it is the perfect time to catch up on some stitching!
I hope you recover from your jetlag soon.

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!

  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.
