Merging Wings

Wings are merging together. But they're still only about a third done.

 

Back to Shuriken

This is about to be worked on and finished.

 

All Faced

Cute little face on this red panda.

 

Time for the Fifth Page

 

There are a few more stitches to work on before starting the fifth page. Lots done!

Leonora Made Dinner Too

Balkan food by Leonora for dinner. It was delicious.

 

Birthday Cake

Leonora made Andreas this great Grogu birthday cake in July. I am so behind in posting.

 

Bits of Krakow

Went with Andreas to work in Krakow earlier this summer. Here are some pics from my walk ... and a picture of my little bag drinking from the sink.

 

Storks!

When we were in the Elblag area, we saw lots of storks on our way to the Vistula Spit. Just sitting in their nests.

 

Flower Finally Done

The big flower is all done, finally. Time to work on the dragon.

 

Diamond Square

This is now all done. I think it came out really well. All the blue tones down that golden square so much. 

 

Going Blue

Doing alternating scotch stitch for the blue background now.

 

Afghan for Julianne

Julianne had a baby in February. I didn't get this done in time, but it's done now. With a farm theme, I picked a color that had crops, water, and sun.

 

Done is What it is

Managed to frame this. Time to hang or give away.

 

Floss and Gift

I ordered the floss, but Tracy sent me more. Thank you so much, Tracy!

 

Gift From Leonora

Leonora brought these tasty treats home from Kosovo for us. Thank you!

 

Done and Gifted

Just after I framed this, I gifted it to a colleague who's going to India for work next month. He loved it.

 

Flowers from Andreas

Andreas said he got these because it was just time to. They're beautiful.

 

Bit More Ribbon

The ribbon is almost down to its final curl, and I have more wheat grain bottoms stitched.

 

Will the Edges Meet?

It's time for the most fraught part of stitching this - will all the edges line up?

 

Green Frog's Done

My hoppy green frog on the right is done. Time to start in on the blue one in the middle.

 

All Washed Up

My microbes are all done and ready to get framed. I guess this will hang in a bathroom somewhere.

 

Lunch at Divino

I managed to drag Andreas out of the office for lunch once in July; we went to Divino, a pizza place about two blocks from work. Food was great as usual.

 

More than One and a Half Sides

Still working on the sides. Getting close to the second side done.

 

Teal Ornament Done

This ornament is all ready to make into something to hang. Now to figure out how I want to do it.

 

A Bee Entrance

The bees can get into their skep now. I've still got quite a ways to go, but I might be close to halfway now.

 

Leonora Made Dinner

And a healthy one, too! Goulash and salad and mashed potatoes.

 

Dandelion Framed

I still think this is a really cute piece.

 

Merging Wings

Two eyes visible and working on merging the wings into one blob now. They are the single largest element of the whole piece.

 

cozyblue Subscriptions

I have stuff from cozyblue to make. I really need to increase my output.

 

Hot Pot at Luxi Beef

There is a hot pot place about a five minute walk from the house - and it's authentic. It even has a meat Barbie.
