Slow stitching can be time-consuming, but it's also deeply rewarding.

 



Slow stitching can be time-consuming, but it's also deeply rewarding.
The slow, deliberate pace allows you to fully immerse yourself in the process, savoring each stitch and moment of creation.
While it may take longer to complete a piece, the journey itself becomes a form of meditation—a chance to slow down, be present, and find joy in the act of creating.

Remember, the value of slow stitching lies not just in the finished product, but in the mindful and meaningful experience of crafting something by hand.

Some of my past projects. Its pouches, journals, and journal pages, stitches on paper, bohemian style and my style. Sometimes i wonder how many hours i have spent stitching, but i have never counted. To much fun, to much joy in each piece of work.












"In the pages of a diary lies the untold stories of a life." - This evokes the idea that a diary holds the narrative of our journey through life, preserving memories, experiences, and moments that may otherwise be forgotten.



"Through a diary, we immortalize our thoughts and emotions." - This beautifully captures how a diary serves as a timeless repository of our innermost thoughts, emotions, and experiences, preserving them for posterity and allowing us to reflect on our journey through life.



“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.”
― John Keats, Endymion: A Poetic Romance






“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
 but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh



Half an hour's meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed. - Saint Francis de Sale
