Still Crossing

I haven't broken down and done any of the specialty stitches yet.  The skeleton for them out of cross stitches is coming along pretty well, at least.

Still No Purple

More done on the piece, but no purple.  I added a lot of light green, though.

Asian Round Robin - Nicki's Block

Here's Nicki's block before I worked on it.  As you can see, I was the first!  I also decided not to do the obvious fan or geisha - to leave them for someone else.

And here's a picture after what I've done.  I made rickshaw wheels in the right upper corner, added a Buddha medallion, did some seams, and also did some maple leaves.  I hope she likes it.

Momosapiens First Round

Here are some pictures of the Momosapiens parodista group in their first round competition in Teatro Verano a week ago.  The light blue, yellow and white are the Uruguayan national colors.  Some of the performance was the same as what they showed us at the Marine House, but they had to do a full, nonstop seventy minutes for the competition.

Twenty Parts Done

I finally finished the part of the kaleidoscope mandala I was working on.  It took a lot longer than usual.  I don't know if it was because it was so much more stitching or if it was because I was busy with Carnaval.  Anyway, twenty squares done and a lot more to go.

Starting the Zigzag

I started the zigs and zags to make the rectangles of the piece this week.  I decided to do this to make sure the counting's correct before I go any farther.
