Princess Bubbles Creates

Last week I was inspired by Norma at  http://notesfromnorma.blogspot.ca/   She submitted suns to the CBS Sunday Morning show and they put them on air.  I enjoy watching that show and had been thinking about sending some of my sun images.  So fresh with the inspiration I whipped up this beaded sun.  I have submitted it to CBS and will wait to hear back from them but I understand it can take months.

Getting an early start on my bead journal for May.  May is going to be a rather busy month.  The St. Jacobs Quilt and Fibre Art Festival will be happening May 22-May 26.  I am happy to say that I will have a crazy quilt on display at The Schoolhouse and two small quilts at Homer Watson Gallery.  As always, I will be participating in the show with my guild, Grand Guild of Fibre Artists.  What an amazing, talented and inspiring group of women they are!

The time I spend at a wrecking yard is magical to me.  I so enjoy photographing rust and peeling paint.  I find beauty in it.  The texture is so interesting to me. I am linking to https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca

My beaded apple is finished.  Going through my bead stash to find just the right beads is fun for me.  I have a beautiful collection of beads and feel very blessed to have so much.  Doing a bead journal a month for the rest of my life may not use it up.  Maybe I should be doing more beading!

Okay, I am happier with this six-inch square/sinchie for the guild challenge.  I added a few stitches with metallic thread which you can barely see.  I also added some beads.  Beads make everything better!  Our guild meets next week and I am excited to see what everyone else has done.  It is always so interesting to see people's creativity.

I have added the  Rice Stitch  to my piece.  I used some knitting yarn in the lower left.  I think it looks pretty cool.  I also used pearl cotton and some DMC metallic thread in the others.  I am excited to try  Sharon B's  beyond TAST challenge.  I have an idea as to what I want to do but I haven't decided on the stitch I will use to layer. 

Incredible amounts of energy are wasted by chasing what you cannot catch.  Let go of the chase and embrace the unknown.  By releasing the need to control the future, you open yourself up to the magic of the moment where everything is possible.  unknown More rust and pealing paint from junk yard pictured above.
