Got It at the Market


Last week, I got all these ribbons and buttons at the local market.  It's still a bit odd to me to purchase ribbons outside, but it's neat too.  She has such a selection, and I've become a regular.  Not only that, she speaks English.

Line by Line


Still get this done at a snail's pace.  It's two more lines down from the last picture, at least.

Working Outward


I got the third set of bands done now.  It's filling up fast!

Yay! Officially on Seven


I'm finally officially on part seven of this piece.  It's only been three and a half years since I started it, and I've worked pretty steadily on it.  Of course, I have a lot of other projects, but still.  I'm slow.  Although they look quite similar, there are differences in the four sides.  The top edge of this side is definitely different from its predecessor.  It's nice to have something different to look forward to on this.

New (to me) Magazines


On the same trip as the bead shop, we stopped into a news stand on the Plaza Independencia.  It had a -lot- of magazines, including a lot of crafts ones.  All were in Spanish, but they're pretty easy to understand.  I picked up these five.  All have projects I want to do in them.

Back to the Kaleidoscope


Another stitchalong in progress, since I completed the other part of the German Group Mystery.  This one's the Kaleidoscope Mandala, and I've made some pretty significant progress in just a couple of days.

Gray and Green


It's taken me a while to get through the rotation this last time, so it's been almost a month since you've seen this.  I did get some of a shutter done, some of the roof, and a bit of the sidewalk.  A looong way to go still, but it'll get there.
