Ciao gentle readers..
There is a lot going on
world wide
and many people are feeling a sense of
anger and frustration
and
being overwhelmed...
so I move from painting..
to slow stitching..
slow stitching..
came about from the slow food movement..
which I have been doing as long as I can remember..
Italians don't rush.. especially with food..
we take our time and enjoy the meal
we eat first and do everything else after
so I wasn't surprised to learn about slow stitching..
because it is what I was already doing..
to me.. slow stitching is about three basic principles
1. release perfection
2. forget about your agenda
3. enjoy each stitch
When we hurry, we destroy the beauty in everything we do..
but also we destroy the beauty in everything we
feel.
so I have been
enjoying each stitch and my tiny book
will be finished soon
and sent to my
but it is still a work in progress..
despair is designed to paralyze us..
so I breathe slowly and Stitch...
