Princess Bubbles Creates

 This is the rest of the scroll that I have been doing.  I feel like calling this one done but with the possibility of returning to it.  It is weird how some pieces I am absolutely confident that they are finished but others not so much.  Maybe it is having a deadline that helps me feel finished!  Deadlines are good but I don't have any at the moment.  I will continue to work joyfully in my studio flitting from project to project.  There is a certain delight in having no deadlines too.

  I made progress on this scroll by adding some interesting fibres to it.  More circles of course.  I have so many interesting fibres and it is good to use them.  Sometimes parts of my stash get forgotten about.  I enjoy revisiting them and finding new ways to use them.   This scroll is made up of fabric that I dyed, painted, printed etc.  It makes for an eclectic mix.  I am hoping that all the circles pull it together into something cohesive.

LeeAnna  asks what dish would you take to a family dinner this month? I have a sweet potato recipe that I think is yummy and it is pretty easy.   sweet potato recipe I have never included the parsley because I don't like it.  I also get asked to bring Caesar salad to family dinners.   Going to yoga class is something I like, a lot.  I have noticed I am getting stronger and have better balance.  I have always been quite flexible but I am getting even more so.  I was wondering how I could manage to get to class and watch a dog that is staying with me.  I don't like leaving the dogs on their own as I take my responsibility probably too seriously.  Well, my very sweet husband offered to work from home so that I could get to my class.  What a great guy!   I am still practising my joy moments.  The other day I saw 'There is only one me on this earth'.  I have been sitting with that thought often since seeing it....

 I don't know how many years ago I put these fabrics together to create a landscape.  So many!  Last week I pulled them out and started stitching on it.  I am pretty happy with the tree.  I am not sure what comes next.  For sure the sky and background certainly need work but I feel like it should be subtle.  I will ponder how to accomplish that.  This is a small piece so it shouldn't take long to finish once I figure it out.

 I wonder if I should have added a bit more to the centre of this mandala.  I suppose I still could.  Maybe some white highlights would help.  I am a bit disappointed in the watercolour paper.  I found the top layer was lifting up as I added the shading.  I will need to figure out a better way to use this paper.

  I have added some more stitching to this snowflake mandala.  I love how it is coming along.  I love having the perfect thread for it.  Shopping through my stash gives me a lot of pleasure.  Seeing the things that haven't been seen for a while can give new ideas.   I am unsure what the next step is for this one.  But I think it needs some dark blue added to it.  Maybe a bit of white would also be good.  I am sure I will figure it out.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/

LeeAnna  has asked  what is your favorite fall movie I am curious what others have to say about this.  Personally, I have never thought about having a favourite fall movie.  I have favourite Christmas movies and favourite movies but none that are specifically for the fall. I love a long warm fall.  Look at the beautiful rose I saw while walking with a friend yesterday.  Isn't it stunning?  I am still taking at least one moment a day to notice what is bringing me joy.  Seeing this gorgeous rose was certainly a joy moment. In case you are looking for a joy moment check this out. https://imgur.com/UEfAUDl I promise it will make you smile!  And now I want a white dog so I can do something similar!
