Two Dogs Done

A canvas done. I know who it's for. I just need to put it together in the shape I want.

 

EnCrowed

All hooped up and now gifted. 

 

Sew Sampler September 2025

A jelly roll to make stuff with. Unfortunately, I have not gotten any real sewing done over the past year. I -thought- going into it that I would have Saturdays open. That has not happened. Plus an extended stay in the States. So my sewing machine languishes. I hope this changes after home leave.

 

Breakfast and Tortillas

Andreas needed his tater tots for breakfast. We ate well. This was Ol'South - we were revisiting favorites before having to leave.

 

Just Carol

Carol claims she's always overlooked. She's not; she just thinks she is. So here is a post with only photos of her on a walk.

 

Backstitching Made the Piece

Until I did the backstitching, this looked like a bunch of blobs. Now it looks like a street. And it's  done. Yay!

 

All the Scrolls and Branches

Scrolls and branches and wings done. Even little feet. Now to make this into an ornament.
 

Filling in the Pond

Photos of progress during my class in October last year. Lots of pond to get the right shades for.

 

Scarves from Ukraine

Andreas buys things at each artisan fair at the Embassy. He bought these scarves for me. I especially like the one with the schematics on it. Most are silk.

 

Railhead Lunch

A very filling lunch from Railhead. I miss them, too. Will be back in a month. We are going to be eating waaay too much in August.

 

Still on the Top Post

This is one of those pieces I take with me when I think I might have time to stitch. I usually don't have the time, but at least I'm prepared. And sometimes I -do- have the time. Which is why this piece is progressing.

 

Mostly Treed and Done

Some ribbons, some branches, and this can be called done.

 

Beginning the Pagoda

This is how far I got on our first needlepoint class. It's actually quite a bit.

 

Framed

All that's left is putting the final piece of cloth on the back and then writing everything up so it can be graded. I need to kick myself into gear and do it.

 

Mini Mystery

One more mystery box. This one had some bright colors and good littles.

 

Joe T's Again

A month and a half and I will be here. I can't wait.

 

Existential Angst

Both boys pondering the meaning of existence while lounging around.

 

Ukrainian Linens

Andreas bought these linens for me to decorate. I have yet to decide what I'm going to embroider on them.

 

Esperanza's For Lunch

On one of our last days of home leave, we made sure to go to Esperanza's. It wouldn't be home leave without a lunch there. This was a new location to us - this one's near South University.

 

Sprawled About

Puppies in various states of being lazy.
