A LITTLE TREAT.

A Mandala is a spiritual symbol representing the Universe. It's a tribute to the harmony between all the parts of the whole. Making mandalas is believed to be an incredibly soothing process, linked to serenity and personal growth.

I think this is somewhat true as I am finding making these quite therapeutic.

I am thinking of backing them and hanging them from a pole or similar, I'm sure I have an empty wall somewhere.

I have made crochet toys and blankets  but the crochet that goes into some of these Mandala's is a lot more intricate and I'm really enjoying making them.

I got myself a little treat and it came this morning.

I am going to make a new Mandala and it required cotton yarn.  Now, the man of the house would argue that I have enough yarn to sink a battleship, I tried to explain that I didn't have much cotton and certainly not in the colours required, and so he huffed and admitted that I needed it. lol

I ordered this yesterday from the 'Wool Warehouse' and it came this morning, that's efficiency.

I would order from them again as they were quick on the phone and very, very helpful.

So many gorgeous colours and being cotton it has a sheen to it.

This is the new one I am going to attempt, bit tricky and may take a time but isn't it lovely?

Here's what I have to date.

This is the latest one and I learnt quite a lot from this one using methods that I have never come across before.

This one is simpler but I added gold yarn and a few beads to jazz it up a bit.

The yellow one is pretty plain but still good therapy.

Hope the sun is shining where you are and thanks for all the comments on the post about the phone theft, including all the mean one's.  I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions, LOL
