Slow Stitching Sunday

Image
 I have had a lot of stitching time this week.  Yay!  I made headway on a few projects.  That feels good.  This mandala has a wool base, a blanket I purchased and washed so that the wool would felt.  It is a pleasure to stitch into it.   I have been going through my 'special' threads and using them.  I have stopped worrying about using them all up!  That is such a silly thing to be concerned about.  I am planning to use up as much as I can and enjoy it! I did a bit of needle felting on this mandala.  The dark purple circle I felted with a single needle which was a bit slow going.  I found the single-felting needles while cleaning out a drawer.  I usually use a multi-needle punch which isn't always accurate.  I wanted this yarn to form a good circle so the single needle was the way to go.   It is a snowy day here and my energy level is a bit low.  Perfect excuses for hunkering down on the couch with needle and thread.
