Little Flowers Stitched

I have the flowers and part of one of the dogs stitched on this. 

 

The Crow's Done

One giant constellation.

 

Simple Temari

Simple kiku design that looks elegant but is so easy.


 

Second Flowered

Two flowers done - this is progressing quickly now. Only one more flower and then a couple of leaves and it's done.


 

Snacks from Chrissy

Chrissy and I swapped in October, and she sent me a bunch of Halloween stuff. Mine got delayed because we were unable to mail things out for a bit. She got hers before Christmas.

 

Rockets and Radar

More equipment sitting out to climb on and look at. This time some rocket launchers and radar dishes. All are old, but some have some pieces missing that were used for repair elsewhere.













 

Chicken Fried Steak

Always a good choice and something I will be getting in August for sure. This was from our trip last year.

 

Each Walks in His Own Way

All three puppies out on walkies. Each has a different style.

Most Stitches Done


Stitches on the upper half are done and most of the bottom, too. But it still doesn't look like much. Back stitching will make a huge difference in this little piece.
 

Top of the Cross

I've had this kit for about 30 years, and it's about time I worked it. So here it is. 

 

Trumpeting the Pine?

My little Angel of the Pines already has her trumpet done. She should be a quick stitch.

 

Well Started

I have a good start on my needlepoint module. The subject is a Chinese pavilion in Lazienki Park here in Warsaw.

 

Knives

When in Knoxville, we always make a stop at Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Bought less than usual this time.


 

Andreas' Request - Genghis Grill

Every home leave we go to Genghis Grill. Andreas likes putting together his own ingredients and getting them cooked for him.


 

Lots of Expressions

Lots of emotional expression in these puppy pictures.











 

Kozlovna Lunch

A late September lunch at Kozlovna, a Czech pub. Good and cheap food.

Practicing FInishing

Mounted this up to practice my RSN piece's mounting. Still need to do the very last part on the real piece. And need to find a frame for this one.
