do you like picnics? Are you a sit on a blanket on the ground person, or
a table outside? Tell us about some picnic that stands out in your
memory ( who was there, foods, time and place, etc)


I love a picnic!  I will sit on a blanket, I will sit on the ground, I will sit at a picnic table. Potluck picnics are wonderful.  Well, any potluck is good!  My absolutely favourite picnic happened when I was single but engaged.  My fiancé picked me up from work for a lunch date.  He had the day off and had spent the morning preparing a lovely picnic lunch.  We went to a nearby park and ate while on a blanket.  It was the park where he proposed so it was extra special.  

I have been enjoying some Jane Davenport videos on YouTube.  She is a talented artist and she makes some cool art supplies!  Her videos inspire me to try things.  I also want to buy her products but have resisted mainly because they are not easily available here.

I love that the weather has been hot but not too hot to enjoy my deck.  It is such a treat to make art while outside. 

I love that roses are in bloom all over my neighbourhood.  So beautiful!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 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!

 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.
