I Like

 







Did you ever go to sleep away camp? Where and what was it like? Did you
enjoy it or miss home too much?

I did go for a short sleepaway camp.  It was our grade 8 graduation treat.  It was only a few nights so I did not miss home.  Home wasn't exactly wonderful at that time either so a getaway to northern Ontario was good for the soul.  It was rustic but at that time in my life I didn't care.  NOW I care.  No thank you to the rustic!

I love walking in my neighbourhood but especially in the summer.  Look at that magnificent flower!  It is growing just a block away.  It is like a burst of sunshine!

I like that my granddaughter wanted me to come see her grade 2 play yesterday.  She was the star of the show!  Sure, I am prejudice in her favour but two other adults also commented to me.  It was adorable!

I like listening to podcasts.  I came across two new ones this week.  
Unpublished was one of them.  They talk about why it is important to create art.  However, they do use some 'language' that can be objectionable.  The other one I just listened to is Bewildered by Martha Beck.

    I'm not so excited about "rustic" anymore either! That is a beautiful flower - what kind do you think it is? Sounds so fun to go to your granddaughter's play!

    That flower is gorgeous! I was listening to Podcasts a lot over the winter but not so much since it's warmed up. I'll go back to them eventually. I never went away to camp so I'm not sure if I would have liked it. Some people did and some hated it!

    It is fun to see how our feelings about rustic/comfort/security change with time and age. I would no longer go backpacking and live rustic, but I did (happily) when I was younger.
    Your neighbourhood 'sun' is fantastic!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 I enjoyed stitching my September slice.  I got out my book by Carole Samples Treasury of Crazy Quilt Stithes.  It has wonderful combinations of stitches.  I have had this book for years and never properly used it.  It uses basic stitches in interesting combinations. So, I didn't really learn any new stitches but I did enjoy combining stitches in new ways.  I might find that more helpful in the long wrong.   The weather has still been cooperative for stitching outside.  The week ahead looks good too.  I might get a jump start on my October slice.  It is sad to think about putting away the deck furniture but it can wait at least a week.

 How did it get to be December!  I really meant to fill in the big gaps in my November slice!  I still might.  We will see how it goes.  I got a lot of other stitching done in November so I guess that distracted me from this project.  There is only one slice left to stitch on this project and I find myself jumping ahead to next year. I wonder if I want to do another monthly project like this for next year.  I like having a monthly project.  I might consider doing a mixed-media instead of stitching.  Not that I couldn't incorporate some stitching into that though.  I have no clear idea at this point and that's okay.  I have to get through the holidays!   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

  I am still working away at attaching my circles to this piece.  I have added some other stitching as well.  I am very keen to add some beading to this one but that must wait.  Beading needs to be the last step.  I don't need the frustration of my threads getting snagged on the beads.   Progress can feel oh so slow.  Especially when it is because I am distracted by other projects!
