More Tent Stitch

I just need to finish this. I have more than half the background done now. The rest is easy.

 

Floraled Moon

And another finish - my little floral (and mushroom) waning crescent moon.

 

Squared Again

Another little Ink Circles square done and ready to finish into an ornament.

 

Two Dragonflies

Almost halfway done with this. It's been a quick stitch.

 

Never Too Many

I always need more Texas items. It's the law.

 

Found

Andreas found this silver dollar on the ground in Pigeon Forge as we were going in to a quilting store.


 

Honoring the Navies

Monuments on Utah beach honoring the men who got everyone there.






 

Grayson Love

When Andreas is home, Grayson is his dog. When he isn't, I am. But we all know he's actually Leonora's dog.




 

Safe from Monkeys

Monkeys in tubes, where they can't throw anything at you or bite you.

Starting a Roof

The little lines on the left (the red ones) are the start of the gray house's roof.

 

Birch Boleted

This came out pretty cute. It's time to frame it.

 

America Americ...

Starting on the lettering.

 

Brown Bands

Working on the brown argyle bands for the top part. They're a lot of stitching, so you'll see me working on them for a while.

 

Stash from The French Knot

When I visit Fort Worth, I have to go to this place at least once. It's tradition. I bought a new kit. I've done a similar one before; this has different flowers.


 

Hot Potting Along

We had one last hot pot meal at Luxi Beef with Leonora before she left last spring. Yes, I'm way behind on photos.



 

Entrance to Utah Beach

Utah Beach has one of the larger displays for D-Day. It even has a museum. The tank traps are original. The landing boat is a replica.



 

Pretty Big Bench

Nice and simple design that would be good for crewel on a large bench at the Knoxville zoo.


 

Chilling on the Porch

Two little puppies staying vigilant, watching over the back yard.

Insides Stitched

All the major backstitching and special stitches are done. It's time to start the beading.
 

Make Stuff May 2025 #20: Triangle Temari from Temari Design

Recently bought a new temari book and made this design from it. I'll be making the design again soon.




 

Threads and Trims

Went to Michaels when in the States and picked up this. Kind of a sad haul, comparatively.

 

Puppies Asleep

Puppies enjoying themselves while sleeping.





 

Monument Outside POLin

This is a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and stands right outside the POLin museum.



 

Awake Red Pandas


They are even cuter when they're awake. They have great personalities.
