Last of the Bags

Last bags I've bought this year. The green is what I am currently carrying; it will be switched out in the next day or two.

Totes, Smalls, and a Festival

This top bag is a festival. It's one of the smaller Portland bags, but it's actually fairly roomy. About the size of a normal purse. And three totes and a small to go with it on this order.






 

Lots of Blue and Compensation

Blue green added and I am going to need some compensation because I have a row mistake in a part of the tail.

 

Parsley

The parsley looks perfect in this frame.

 

Diamonded

My Mexican Tile is finally on my rotation, and it looks like it might actually be a fairly quick stitch. I'm enjoying it.

Mexican Ballpark

I think this ornament came out pretty darn well.

 

Blooming Orchid

The orchid that Leonora got me last year is blooming again. It looks so pretty, and it's staying good, too.



 

Down to the Bottom

I am all the way down to the bottom on the left side. This means I'm almost done.

 

End of the Pole

Progress! I am to the end of the pole!

Making Flowers

Making up the flower border now. 

 

Little Bit of Play

A little bit of a temari, working on my spacing.



 

From the Nimble Thimble

Andreas and I took a trip out to the middle of no where when we were in Wales. And that is exactly where the Nimble Thimble was. So I bought a bunch pf Drawn Thread kits she had made with silk.

Little Totes

The results of my little crossbody mystery box from Portland Leather Goods. I'm pretty happy. Going to be using them.


 

Marine Ball Gifts

Bottle opener challenge coins from the Marines this year.

All Neat Bell

This will probably be made into a cute little pillow ornament soon. Once I am done being sick and off work after tomorrow for two weeks.

 

Working on the Tail

There's a lot going on with this tail and it's a bit of a mess to figure out, but it's coming along. I am almost done completely with page three of the chart.

 

Stuff from Science Museum



Some of my favorite parts of the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry were closed last month when we visited, but we did get to see the textile room. Picked up a few souvenirs.
