A wild growing flower from Hawaii.  So beautiful! I am linking to http://image-in-ing.blogspot.ca https://mersad-photography.blogspot.ca

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.
