More Bricks Done

The right side is pretty much finished, with the exception of two little rhodes stitches, for this section.  Now to work on the left and the bottom. I am getting this large part done.

Great Finds

I found the Zubrowka in a grocery store in France and the Lillet in one in Germany.  Now to get time and inclination to drink a bit...

Tiny Bits Of Color

I've gotten this far on the fabric and figure out that I am working on the wrong side, and it's beginning to bug me.  Next time I am starting over on the right side...

Two Mazes Closed

I have real progress on this.  Two of the corner mazes are done and I've started the middle motif. 

Snack In Frankfurt

After five weeks in Frankfurt, I decided I couldn't leave the next day without an apple strudel.  While we waited on a sunny day for my son to show up, I had strudel and a cappucino.  Andreas had a milkshake.  We were happy.  Christopher, when he showed not long after, inhaled nachos.

Lion Gives The Finger

Making progress on this.  The lion, though, looks like he's giving the finger as he holds the shield.  I wonder if this was deliberate.

On To The Butterfly

One more flower done and a good start on the only butterfly on the piece.

Daniel's Restaurant

We had hope for this restaurant on the Alte Gasse. Unfortunately, our hope was not realized.  The food was bland and uninspired. At least it was fresh.

Church Clock

A pretty church bell and steeple near Eschenheimer Tor in Frankfurt.  Taken early in the evening.

Another Round

Beginning number three of four identical motifs.

Stitch Maynia #23 - Another Year Creeps By

This is a series of 12 squares with a border.  Each of the squares is a Halloween pun.  I bought the recommended thread and found this piece of fabric from fiberlicious.  I think it will look very good on it.

Spanish Steak And Tapas

There's a Spanish restaurant just off the Hauptwache that's Buenas something and it's very good.  They do steak - they cook or let you cook on a stone - and tapas.  We had a very good and filling meal there.

A Tiny Bit More

I only finished one length of thread on this before the photo, but progress is progress.

Another Lunch Alone

Another lunch alone during the last week in Frankfurt.  This one was right off the Romer Platz.  There was a lot of sauerbraten on my plate, and it was good.

Stitch Maynia #22 - Hanging Gardens

Another needlepoint start.  This one has a lot of jessica stitches in it.

Lunch Alone

While Andreas was at class, I had lunch at an outdoor cafe.  The tomato soup was truly good.  The schnitzel was average.  I even stitched some.

Starting The Lion

I am now on to the lion.  It's a lot of stitching this month.  I guess that's why it's two months' worth to do.

Hauptwache Lunch

On one of our last days, Andreas and I ate at the cafe at the bottom of the Hauptwache tower.  The food was somewhat expensive (location, I presume), but good.

Fraggle Rock Done

Yay, I finished!  My husband says these look like the fraggles.  I'm not so sure.  I do know they were a pain to stitch because there was a LOT of confetti.

True Visit To Germany

While in Mainz, there was a band playing "99 Luftballoon."  

Looking Stately

Finally back to doing some of my regular rotation, and Earth Dragon got some love. I have decided to do all the backs titching in black instead of the many colors because the chart is confusing on the color placement.  I think it'll still turn out magnificent.

The 12 Apostles

This restaurant is typical German food, and about two blocks from our apartment.  When we went, it was very good.  We both had the very thick and brothy gulash soup. I had a caprioska.  I also had a steak salad and Andreas had wiener schnitzel.

Crewel Flower

Yay, the flower itself is done!

Beergarden Food

This was food from a beer garden near Sindelfingen.  The Fowlers brought is there.  Food was delicious and we got to spend time with our friends.

Holly And Hearts Done

I have been very thin on finishes this year, but I'm proud I got this one done.  It's going to a friend who loves Hallmark Christmas movies.  Got to iron it and finish it into a pillow, though!

Back To Aroydee

Aroydee is totally wonderful in person, much better than delivery.  The chicken was crisp and tangy, and the eggrolls were too.  We both had soups; Andreas' was huge and tasty.
