My kaleidoscope photos make me happy and we need extra cheer at this time.  My photos were supposed to be beaming from The Cube atop our City Hall this month.  Obviously, that isn't happening with everything shut down.  I assumed my photos would be bumped from the line-up but found out that is not the case.  They plan to have my photos up as soon as things are open again.  Yay!  Hopefully, that happens soon!

I am still adding stitches to my colourful garden.  It is a bright and cheerful piece on which to work.  I am quite enjoying myself.  Yesterday, I learned how to do do a dimensional leaf stitch.  See the lower photo about in the centre.  It is a cool stitch and I look forward to doing more of it.

The sheer fabric is pretty but a little unpleasant to use. I ended up putting Fray Check on it and that helped.  Of course, then you could see the Fray Check on the edge so I needed to solve that problem.  I decided to use the wooden butterfly buttons I had ordered last year.  I am quite pleased with the way that looks.  Still, there is lots more to do.

My granddaughter had some painting fun with a big piece of paper and glitter paints.  It was so I pretty I had to figure out something to do with it.  I decided to create an 8 page book.  Simple instructions can be found here  http://plasticmasters.blogspot.com I am wanting to add embellishments and found poetry.  I am debating about how to do that.  I was thinking about doing something like the last photo but feel it looks too vintage and doesn't go with the bright and cheerful background.  I am linking to http://mybijoulifeonline.com

I am really enjoying stitching on this.  Right now I am trying to place flowers where stitching is needed to finish attaching the lace.  When I sewed the lace on by machine I was only making sure to catch one edge.  I knew that there would be a lot of embroidery on this piece and that would firmly attach the lace.  It really doesn't look like much yet but I know it will all come together.

I love the  Wheel Cup stitch  that Sharon B encourages us to try this week.  I have done it numerous times but wanted to try it on some handmade paper. I used a white sparkly thread that unfortunately doesn't show up very well.  I also used some new thread that I purchased.  It is a perle cotton by Sue Spargo and I love it. 

This is my second piece from the Textile.org Facebook challenge.  Cas Holmes was the challenge leader this week and asked us to make a small fabric collage that was inspired by something around our home.  My husband had bought a bouquet of flowers when he was getting us groceries so I used that for my inspiration.  It was fun to go through my bits and pieces and use them up.  I honestly wonder why I hang on to such small bits sometimes but then they do come in handy.  I posted about this piece earlier in the week and didn't feel like it was quite done.  I decided to add some found poetry to it and feel that is now complete.  I have loads of old book pages kicking around because I alter books.  I really enjoy cutting out words and phrases and putting them together to make a 'poem'.
