Princess Bubbles Creates

The quote this week is 'Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.'  I love this quote but feel a lot more could be added to it.  What would you add to the list? I used pastel pencils to draw these calla lilies.  I have never considered drawing to be a strong skill of mine but these aren't half bad.

Possibly I have posted about this little quilt previously.  If I did I probably called it finished when in reality it still needed a binding.  Proper quilt bindings are just not my thing so sometimes/most times I struggle with that bit.  I am super pleased with the idea I came up with for this quilt.  This quilt is fabric and paper and paints so using paper as the binding makes perfect sense.  I used unryo/mulberry paper and glued it.  Unryo is fibrous, strong and flexible when wet.  I love it when an idea works out so well!

I thought the  Knotted Cable Chain  would look good on my under the sea crazy quilt.  I am not thrilled with the way it turned out.  I should know better than to stitch a new stitch to me when I am tired.  I actually do know better but I wanted to get it done.  Oh well, there is a lot happening on this crazy quilt so not likely anyone will notice the not great looking stitches.  Thanks to  Sharon B  for the instructions.

Some water droplets seem appropriate on this rainy day.  The sunshiny yellow adds some cheer to the day and that makes this photo perfect for today. I am linking with http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca

Stitching with silk ribbon is such a treat!  I really enjoyed my stitch a day project for May.  I am still really enjoying this fun tree shape.  I am taking a break from it for my June project but will definitely be returning to it again. I am linking with https://kathysquilts.blogspot.ca/

Some progress has been made on my May Crazy Quilt Project.  It is now June and there is still a lot to do.  This will be a two-month project.  I will not stress about it.  This about enjoying the process.  Adding more color and beads is next on the agenda. I am linking with  http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/   Nina has some terrific thoughts on art and creativity this week!

Interrupt anxiety with gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness.  That is the quote for this week.  I think I would add and art making.  For me, art making is a balm for my soul.  I forget all troubles when I am creating.  I printed this quote on one of my favorite photos.  It is going to look good in my journal!
