Slow Stitching Sunday


 This floofy book page is feeling like a bit of a disjointed mess to me.  These pages are meant to be slow stitching fun.  And they are, for sure.  But when I am not liking the way a page looks then what?  Do I call it finished and move on?  I sort of want to do that but I hate not finishing something.  It doesn't feel finished if I don't like it!  

I can wait until I stitch it into the scroll and then add to it.  I can put it to the bottom of the pile and revisit it at some point.  Both of those options are delaying a decision.  Sometimes that is what needs to be done.  I am okay with that.  There are other things that can I do in the meantime.  What a delight to have so many lovely stitching projects!

I often find that something I have stitched or written will look/feel very different after some time. I think part of the creative process is to leave things to 'mature'. We can't have 100% inspiration and solutions 100% of the time.
I suggest you put this piece at the bottom of the pile and let it brew for a few weeks. I am sure you have plenty to do in between.

I am a big fan of waiting! Sometimes when you come back to a project, you wonder what it was that you didn't like before!

I'm a throw as much as I can at a project until it grows on me. It is such nice colours it seems a shame to abandon it!

I love the colors of the piece, no matter what you do with it! Good luck

Oh yes, I am quite certain there are a lot of other pretties you have to work on and enjoy some slow stitching. Let this one sit for a bit if you are unsure.

Hi Angela, sometimes all it needs is a time-out. You can always add or cover up things later! Take care.

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

  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.
