I make a little more progress on this every week,

I make a little more progress on this every week, and get distracted by other things in between. I began a new section of back stitching last night before bed and will finish it later today at our weekly Art & Craft Social. I hope everyone is having a good day so far.

Happy Monday! I was inspired by my friend @buchund

Happy Monday! I was inspired by my friend @buchundpapier to try this modular origami design over the weekend. It’s made of forty-four pieces of double-sided patterned origami paper from @oomomo_bc, with instructions by @paperain. It transforms into different forms.

Five and a half minutes of meditative drawing condensed into a one minute hyperlapse. I’m trying to find my way back to drawing and cutting paper as my concentration slowly improves. It’s so hard to focus these days.

I returned to working on this large embroidery sam

I returned to working on this large embroidery sampler again. It’s about twice the size and triple the colours of the small piece I recently completed. That one took fifteen days to make, while this one has been in progress for months. It’s funny how some projects go. I love the meditative process of embroidery, now more than ever.

Today was one those struggle with mental health, and low energy days. Some days are just going to be this way, and I’m glad I have the resiliency to make it through. I found myself wanting to revive putting notes in my neglected Container of Good Things, which I hadn’t added to since early January. I sat down and wrote down all of the good things that have happened in the past few months, including within the past crazy couple of weeks. I was surprised at how many things I came up with. I wanted to mention it in case you need a place to collect good things too.

The Container of Good Things (aka Happiness Jar originated by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer) is a place to collect notes of the good things that happen throughout the year. You open it and review them on NYE.

Bread baking has been one of those things I’ve been meaning to do for a very long time. Here is my very first try at no-knead bread. It was so much easier to make than I’d thought. It tastes amazing. @bmann is eating some for lunch as I write this and is making noises of delicious eating joy.

I started this small embroidery project around March 14th, and have worked on it almost every day since then. It’s the one thing I’ve been able to focus on lately. It’s made up of French knots, bullion knots, picot stitch, seed stitch, and back stitch. I love highly textured embroidery.
