Skunk Pillows
My little skunks are all finished up now. These were the materials from the kit that came with. They look cute.

Moving Toward the Front
I am filling in the neck area back to front now. It's going to be finished soon and I will be soooo glad.

This will be another bright India-inspired mandala from Ink Circles when it's done. Complete color changes, as usual.

24 for 2024 #6: Gushing Oil Derrick by Patt and Lee Designs
This is part of a Texana series that came out last year. Getting around to it. Should be a fairly quick stitch once I get the derrick done.

Totally for Andreas
I have this framed for Andreas to put up somewhere. It's sitting there waiting for him to decide where. I think I did an okay job of framing it.

Not Quite American Food
While Jeff's Diner has the atmosphere down, the food is disappointing for an American vibe. Everything is just - off. The nachos were sad. It was such a disappointing experience.

Needlepointer Subscription Box
The Black Needle Society boxes were too full of liberal politics and had too few stitching items, so I've switched to the Needlepointer box. It comes quarterly and includes a full needlepoint kit and other things. I am much happier with this.

Heart Framed
Andreas didn't straighten the heart charm before taking the photo, but it's framed now. I am getting lots of these things done and out into the world.
24 for 2024 #22: Green Argyle Mini Bauble by Eye Candy Art
Decided I should start some of the series I am subscribed to. This will be a very quick stitch once I put it on stretcher bars. Decided not to for the start because I don't know when I will get back to it and I don't like sagging.

Underarm
Doing the underarm area and the mouth at this point. I feel it's slow going, but not as slow as the horizontal frog.
24 for 2024 #20: Fragrant and Fluffy by Luca-S
This is going to be a bit of a beehive when it's done. It's medium sized, so shouldn't take too very long.

Chewing
Grayson chewing on a rawhide stick as he misses his Leonora. He would be so much happier if she were here, he thinks. He did, however, finish the treat.

Rangers Canvas
This was ordered along with the other canvas from Chaparral Needlepoint in November. It finally got here a couple of weeks ago after my wonderful husband bugged them repeatedly. We will not be shopping there again, despite them having a lot of great Texana. Can't trust them to ship.

This is another larger piece that has been in my stash for quite a while. Hopefully it gets farther than this soon.

24 for 2024 #8: Crescent Pincushion by Hillside Samplings
This is going to be a honking huge pincushion if I stay with the name. It really should be called a small handbag.

Random Polish food
Considering what this is, it could be from any of a dozen restaurants I can think of. Anyway, Andreas enjoyed it.

Yes, More Purses
Two out of three are zippered; I wish PLG would give us a zippering option. Anyway, it really was bought in 2023, so these aren't new now, right? Bought a backpack too on the almost perfect sale, and I do like the littles.
24 for 2024 #17: Bliss by Just Nan
I am trying to clear out some old charts and make them, so this was started this time. It's been in my stash for a loooong time. It will be a bit of a stitch because it's fairly big.

Sheraton Perq
Because we've made platinum status, when we check in to a Marriott property, we get a nice little gift of some sort. This was from the Sheraton Grand Krakow.

24 for 2024 #12: Annie's Garden by Carriage House Samplings
This is a fairly big piece, though not a whole lot of coverage. Will wait to see when I pull it out. Other pieces are definitely ahead.

Another start with more cross stitch than beading. This is almost full coverage, so it will be slow going.
Skinny Christmas Tree
I finally gave up on having a real Christmas tree in the house. After 15 years, Andreas still had not budged. So, since I loathe normal fake trees, I got a fake birch and put ornaments on it instead.
Krakow in August
Photos from our last visit to Krakow together in August. We will be going back next week. Yes, it was a bit cloudy and rainy. The top photos are from the cafe at the top of the music school.
