All Eight

 Here are some photos of the whole set of temari I donated to Hospice Angelus.  They raised fifty euro for the charity.  I believe they would have raised more if they were labeled something other than "decorative balls."  It wasn't even mentioned that they were handmade.  Ah well... the person who did the silent auction was busy and did similar labeling jobs on all of the items.  I don't believe she gets that advertising helps add to the amount of money you collect.

Looks Norwegian

While this temari wasn't the last one I made, it's the last of the set for Hospice Angelus that I'm blogging.  It's a twisted woven stripe design, and somehow I made it so it reminds me of the Norwegian flag.

Last Temari

 This is the last of the temari I made for the Hospice Angelus silent auction.  It was held this past Friday and the temari raised 50 euros for them.  I really like how the obi turned out on this one, though I think I would have made the kiku longer on a second attempt.

You're A Star

 I need  to practice more with the star shape, but it's definitely there.

A Combination For Hospice

Of the six temari finished, this is the first combination one.  I think it came out pretty cute, and it looks sleek and simple.

It Pops

 A pretty easy temari that looks rather mod and pop art is the latest of my temari for Hospice Angelus.

Patriotic Weave

My collection for Hospice Angelus is growing.  Here, a woven rose design.  I think it came out pretty good.

One Quick Temari

 Another temari for charity.  This one was just pretty quick to make and looks pretty good in variegated thread.

Not Quite

This simple star design ran into a problem on the blue.  It's not good enough for the auction for charity, but Andreas still wants it.  He now has a new temari.

Temari For Hayward

One of the stalwarts of the embassy community, Hayward, left for his next posting earlier this month.  Before he left, I gave him this temari to use as a reminder that we miss him and as a stress ball.  We do miss him already.

Staggered Temari

 I am making a series of red, white and blue temari to donate to a charity auction.  This is one of them - a staggered kiku of a total of sixteen points.  I think it came out pretty well.

Temari For Violeta

 Since I wasn't around for Christmas, I made everyone in the offic Valentine's Day presents.  This is Violeta's.  I picked these colors because they're her favorites.

Crazy January Start 27 - Interlocking Squares Temari

 This is a teaching temari for my friends in Bacioi.  It's the second pattern I'm teaching them, and I had to make a sample.  Here it is - a simple interlocking squares pattern with squares at the poles to make "hearts" for Martisor.

First Temaris

 Back in November, I went to Bacioi to teach their community center workers how to make temari.  These two finished their temari in the first lesson while I was still there.  They turned out great, too!  Congratulations!

Temari for Little Extra

 I made this beginner temari for the Little Extras project of CyberStitchers.  As a serendipitous twofer, I managed to use it as a teaching temari in Bacioi!

A Rose Garden Finished

 One more temari finish!  The obi was an experiment.  What do you think?

My Americana Temari

It's a simple renzoku design with red, white and blue variegated pearl cotton.  I think it came out pretty well, and now it's done!

Getting Closer

I have one side pretty much complete and a good start on the other half.  Now to sit down and finish it.

Doesn't Look Like Much

Evidently, my husband decided not to unwrap the threads so you can see the pattern on this ball in progress.  It's a six pointed renzoku pattern.  Still a work in progress.  This was started as part of my temari teaching.

Start And Finish In One Day

Sometimes it feels so good to finish something, anything.  That's the way I felt on Sunday when I finished this temari.  I'd been nearly three weeks since I'd finished anything.
