Hearts are such a fun motif for stitching. This is a small stitch meditation square I made on a painted fabric background with embroidered and sequined details. They are so relaxing to sew. The only problem is that they don't use up much of the fabric stash!
And here's a heartfelt postcard made with bits and pieces and sewn by machine. We just had a postcard exchange and getting out the supplies for making one reminded me how much I enjoy making these, too! I'll show the one I mailed out in another post.
This Victorian-style pincushion is one I made several years ago. It's another repository for all the trims, buttons, and laces I like accumulating.
And for another relaxing pastime, I enrolled in Kate Crane's For the Love of Circles online class. We're learning to make whimsical Mandala drawings with watercolor, colored pencil, and marker details. This is the start of two of mine, and both need some further embellishment with paint pens and neon markers.

Absolutely adorable…..I’m smiling!
It's fun to stitch a postcard, isn't it? Small, but it packs a lot of creative energy. Your mandala is the most interesting project. I'm impressed, and wondering how you could draw those even scallops around the outside. Hopefully, it's a traced stencil. I like the colors you chose. As for a sewing room clean-up, that's an endless cycle. I tend to spiff-up after each project, but lately I've had so many revolving through my room that I hardly know up from down. I hope you're experiencing success!
Your hearts are so pretty!!!!! They are fun to do...love the Mandala's!!! It's so relaxing to color and draw these. I'm sure you'll find a good use for them!!!
