I love your slow stitching! I love to do it, but I’m having trouble finding time. My basket sits by my bed and that’s as far as as it gets. Good to know there are other stitches on here at Substack.
Happy Birthday Jo! The Artist's Way for me as well as Big Magic, Sara Gilbert, and The Creative Habit: Learn it and use it for life by Twyla Tharp were all books that helped me nurture the artist in side during a time when my husband was having a sting of health issues. As mother's/women we tend to take giving or ourselves OVER ourselves precedence. Retirement is slowly teaching me that it's up to me to put myself first. On a side note I found on YT a watercolor artist who paints on fabric and then uses thread to do the line work much like we do in pen and wash.
I hope that you have a very happy birthday! As far as stitching goes...I've wanted to stitch many times. I created a beaded hand years ago to stitch to a painting but that's about it. If I were to stitch anything it sure would look wonky that's certain!!! HaHahHa!!! Anyway, great post.
Wishing you a very happy birthday and lots of creative breakthroughs in the year to come....hope you make a complete recovery from the Lyme, it is awful!
happy birthday and i love those photos!

Hi Jo - those ticks sound nasty!
Loving those photos though. So much beauty out there at this time of year.
The ticks carry so many diseases and are so tiny and sneaky. So proud of myself for braving the trails again.
