I feel I don’t need to add to this Turkish proverb.
Paper, wall-paper, stamps, fabric, washi tape, stitched:
Proverb
slow stitching
Building Blocks
Roof without cover
Garden with freshly tilled soil
Plans for the future.
Art Prescription: All projects start with plans. As you build, you reassess each angle. Measure twice, cut once.

Hi Y’all,
I’ll get back to watercolor soon. I’m enjoying brainstorming and creating these slow stitch kits.
It’s meditative to just sit and stitch and there is an abstract quality to my patterns.
Two listed in my Etsy shop!
Personal
Don’t take personal
Words or actions from others
It’s their perspective.
Art Prescription: So often we allow the words of others bother us. Usually it’s all about them…
Fabric collage with quote and improv stitching:
Pansy
Here’s my slow-stitched pansy:
Who wants a kit to do this yourself?
Slow Stitching
Meditational
A needle, thread, slow stitching
Embroidery rose.
Art Prescription: Today while it was cool and rainy, I stitched the rose.
I’m putting together a kit idea. A kit would come with everything to stitch this mini piece of art.
It could be framed or made into a pin-cushion or lavender sachet.
