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.

Ukrainian Sunflower Canvas

Bought this at The French Knot while on home leave. I need to start it.

 

Simple Red and White Temari

A very stark temari done.


 

Most Center Stuff Done

Photos taken between stitching. Got lots of swirlies to do, but more big parts are done. Medium flower on the left will be the last done.


 

Working on the Caps

Going to get this done. First step is all that red on the mushroom caps.

 

Fried Pickles!

Fried pickles. One of the perks of being in Murica. And I will be there again come March, for a couple of months.

 

Puppy Pics Featuring Carol

Carol complains of being the overlooked middle child and only girl. She actually complains about most things. But there are some good photos of her in this set.

Little Circle Finished

This came out pretty well. I need to decide if I'm making a real ornament or putting it into a hoop.

 

Another Quilting Box

More fabric! Less orange! And sunglasses.


 

Mexican in Virginia

This was actually a little place in Virginia. One of the three restaurants in Blackstone, where we were for FACT training. Food was passable but not really great.


 

Bunch of Boys and One Carol

While posting these photos, I realize Carol doesn't get enough pictures. I will have to do better!

It's Now Beed

This little bee is ready for a frame. Or something.

 

Hedged

Now to get this into its final three dimensional form.

 

July Sewscription

Bits of fabric and some clips! Not thrilled with the colors, as usual.

 

Brunch with Kerry

Went to brunch with Kerry at this restaurant in Shirlington. Food was good. Company was better.
