Butterflied

Yet another butterfly done. I seem to have a thing for butterflies. This one's now done and ready to be framed, though.

 

Armadillo Shell

Adding to the armadillo. Did you know the Polish name for armadillo is 'panczerka'? It means little tank. I think it's apt and cute.

 

Adding Hearts

Almost done with the flag and started some hearts. Just need the finial and some more hearts - then time for the background.

 

Making Argyle

Working on getting the middle filled in for a bit. Then on to the right side windows for specialty stitches. Going to get this part done soon.

 

Red Squirrel

This is the squirrel that taunts Grayson on a regular basis. And one of the large trees in my back yard.

 

Giant Pizza and Fried Pickles

Lunch and dinner photos. All four of us could not finish this huge pizza. It tasted good, though. And fried pickles for dinner. Along with other stuff. But fried pickles.

A Picture of Each

A photo each of all three puppies. I miss them. They're in Poland. I'm stuck in Virginia for six more weeks.







 

Buildings With Clocks

A cold, clear December day with lots of clocks and buildings to look at.







 

Make Stuff May 2025 #18: Tapestry by Ink Circles

I am so very far behind on everything lately. Time to get things like this done. I've been able to get a bit more stitching done lately, at least. Unfortunately, not this piece.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #17: Zingouigoui Delight by Riolis

Another intricate biscornu started. I need to finish one.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #31: Winter Glow by Mill Hill

Started the winter sky.

 

Make Stuff May 2025 #20: Wander by Heart in Hand

Making this again for someone else.

 

So Much Backstitching

This piece has so much backstitching on it, just on the outer layers. Those gates take so much time.

Lebanese in Warsaw

Andreas took his parents here when they went to the zoo. I had something else that needed to be done. Still haven't been to Le Cedre, but would like to go.





 

Stock and Barrel, Knoxville

Good food and decent, different, drinks. Even splitting a burger, there was too much for Andreas and I to eat. His parents split their meal, too. We all had to eat the fried pickles.








 

No Wonder Carol Thinks She's the Middle Child

More puppy photos, and definitely more boys than little girl. Then again, Carol tends to hide a bit, too, and the boys are more front and center and waiting for photo ops.
