Can You See Me?

The color I've been stitching most with this week on See the Stars is the Fleckstone that blends in with the fabric. I've had to be really careful with the backstitching because it's so hard to see.

Back to the Bellies

It's been a while since I've worked on this - I had to get it to Uruguay, after all. I did this week, though! I added more to the top of the second jellyfish. That part's almost done, and it's back into my (new) rotation.

Whatever Comes Back

Four months late, my Whatever Goes round robin was returned. I like the way it looks, although I've never had a verse on one of my blocks before. Thank you to all the ladies who worked on it. Now I need to figure out how to finish it into a larger project.

My First Ribbons Here

I went into the local merceria in the mall this past week and decided to splurge a little bit. I bought these three ribbons. The middle one's got metallics, but the outer two have beads. The one on the left is all wooden beads. It'd be great, I thought, to cut it up for flowers on a block.

Diamonds Down the Middle

I completed the diamonds in the middle and their Jessica stitches this week. There's a bit more to do in this middle area, but it's already standing out pretty well.

A French Salad in an Uruguayan Restaurant

When I arrived, we went to the restaurant across the street. It's a French restaurant, rather pricy, and the food is art. I brought home the salad and we took these pictures the next day.

I couldn't believe how much effort it took to make this. The bottom is wrapped with a very thin slice of cucumber speared with a stalk of rosemary to keep everything in place.

It tasted good too.

The Windows Have Wheels

This week was Jessica week. I did four of them on the central house and several large Rhodes stitches on other windows in the same color. Not much done outside of that, but it was a lot of work.
