End of the Pole

The end of the pole means I'm coming toward the end of the dress. Yay!

 

Chartreuse Curls

Managed to add some vines this time.


 

Bag Bling

I bought this at the fantasy fair in December. It's now on my green purse as bag bling - exactly what I bought it for.

 

December Stationery

My December box from Zenpop. Lots of artsy stuff in it. I ended up using the stickers up top on my Christmas card envelopes.

Winter Trees Framed

Leonora gets this, as she told me she wanted it.

 

December Yum Box

This is supposedly favorites from around the world. I am skeptical.

 

Starting the Neck

This will also be finished soon. I am on the last sixty rows.

 

Starting the Hovel

All the words done and the hovel is begun. This is on the road to being finished soon.

Ticket to Ride England

Another piece for our Ticket to Ride collection. We will play it soon.

 

Saint Nick Gift

Poland is one of the countries that does their stockings on December 6. This is what I found in mine at my work. Thank you colleagues!

 

Put Upon Frog

My little green frog has a "why me?" expression on his face.

 

Autumn Ornament Done

My non-autumn-colored autumn ornament is done. Yay! I will be making it into something soon.

Little Bits of Stash

Ordered a little bit from Stitched Modern.



 

Red Squirrel

We have a red squirrel that visits our backyard often. Andreas caught him in our trees. He is the bane of Grayson's existence.





 

Almost a Machine

Just a little bit to go.

Ornament Factory

There is a major ornament factory in Josefzow, right outside Warsaw. We went; it's a couple of small buildings. These first are sample ornaments. They let us paint our own ornaments, and we even were able to buy in the gift shop.





 

December Quilt Box

Lots of autumn colors plus a whole kit. Yay!

 

Filling in Blues

Made some blue progress plus a little bit of chartreuse.

 

Got Eyes

I have the eyes on my little green frog now. And a face.

Chosen

One last finish for the old year.

 

Seas and Greetings

An Ink Circles kit for the Jingle Ball. Of course I couldn't do anything live at it. Will start the kit soon.

 

Scandi Box

Scandinavian food for December. Why not lump four countries into one?


 

A Few Leaves

Worked on the leaves this time.

Rangers Swag

Of course we got swag when the Rangers won the World Series. It's obligatory. Been using the tumbler a lot.



 

Air Show in Poland

We went to the Radom Air Show at the end of August. It was hot; it was under resourced; and it was rainy. We ended up going for only one day out of the four - a choice on Sunday and an inability due to Andreas' work on Friday and Monday. We bought spotter's tickets - the best tickets available to the public and the ones photographers get. There was no shade; the meals were almost non-existent; and the place had nearly 200k people at it - meaning you couldn't really move about in the public areas to even buy a drink. Lines were over a hundred people deep. Plus, the air show itself was rather disorganized in the air.

 

Colorful Tail

Working on the peacock's tail, and am so very, very close to the end of page three.

 

By the Motor

Working on the motor shaft side of the sewing machine now.

Doggy Advent Calendars

Our "get the dogs to a park to play with other dogs" person gave us calendars for the three we have. They love them. Grayson, of course, gets the big one - though I think the treats for the littles actually have more in them. Thank you Angelika, the pups love them.




 

Oops- Now the Last

Full sized totes this time, and the last for a bit. I like the green the best, and the smalls will get used.
