So Close and Upside Down

For the past month, I've been using a computer that's not mine. Mine's in the Dell shop getting repaired. Luckily, it's still under warranty. So I can't rotate this picture for you as I normally would. It's Tiramisu, of course, but upside down. It's also showing that I'm on the very last band. So close to being done! Next time I work on it, it's finished.

Tenth Done

Ten parts done now. It's looking pretty good, although this picture is somewhat dark. Now on to part eleven...

So Maybe It Is a Dragon

I got more done on the bookmark from HAED. The head is about done now, and it looks different than the picture on the pattern, but then I think they always do. Pictures don't capture the details. I always thought it was a salamander, but the head's not salamander-ish. Perhaps it is a dragon, after all.

Middle's Done

I finished the middle stripe finally. About a third of the total pages for the whole ornament were about this stripe. Now I get to go on to the other two-thirds of the instructions.

Blame the Frog

I made a mistake and discovered it four letters later... which means I had to frog. This picture is mid-ribbit. The S and the first part of the T are correct. The U and V are not. Can you see the mistake? Since the picture, I've completed the part and moved on to the next stitchalong project -the Kaleidoscope Mandala.

Within Walking Distance

So I decided to share a couple of pictures of the neighborhood. The main street, the Rambla, runs right next to the shore and has a lot of high rise apartment buildings along one side. In this picture, an old church being restored is wedged between two of them.

This is the other side of the Rambla - beach and shoreline for the entire distance. This is the beach by Positos. No sunbathers as late in the day as this picture was taken, but lots of people in the park next to it. Very nice area to walk around.

More Ribbon

I added more ribbon down the side this week and did more ecru in the middle of the skirt. Lots of light color. As of this week, I've rebuilt my rotation and have worked on all ten items in it. Now to keep up the pace!
