My bead journal for January is stretching into February.  Holidays can mess with productivity.  On a positive note, I was finally able to capture the color accurately.  On a not so positive note, I feel like I have hit the ugly stage of this piece.  Well, maybe not ugly but chaotic.  I need to work on pulling this all together.  I feel confident that I can make this work.

Sharon B  is encouraging us to do the Chain stitch this week.  I love the chain stitch and use it on a regular basis.  I have created a strawberry with it this week.  I am hoping to create a fruit shape with the TAST each week.  That may or may not work!

This is my start for the February sinchie guild challenge.  Black is the color for this month.  I have black fabric wrapped around foam core and metallic black thread wrapped around that.  So far I have included a butterfly on each of my six-inch blocks.  I am trying to figure out how to make a butterfly with this spoon I have wrapped in beads and attach it to the block.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/

The journal prompt this week is words as it has been for the whole month of January.  I arrived home today after having been in Hawaii.  Home felt like the right word to use for my page.  Our vacation was utterly fabulous.  Vacations are great and they always make me appreciate my home and lifestyle all the more.  Even though it is cold and snowing right now and I am finding it hard to feel warm enough I am happy to be home.  My page was created with some hand dyed and crumpled paper.  I added some strips of hand dyed scrap fabric and my word, home. 

Your mind is a garden.  Your thoughts are the seeds.  You can choose to grow flowers or you can grow weeds.  anonymous I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca

I am making progress on my January bead journal.  I cannot figure out how to make the camera capture the correct colours.  These are way off.  Oh well.  I am loving the way this coming.  I have my doubts that I will get it finished by the end of the month.  I am leaving for Hawaii in a couple of days and I am not sure if I will take it with me.  I am linking to http://ninamariesayre.blogspot.ca/
