We saw this bird at the sea wall a while back and have been unable to identify it. Anyone know? I've got a couple more pictures of it.
It's coming along; I now have two petals done. Still behind, but I'll eventually get it done. After all, if I weren't behind, would I be in a stitchalong?
A couple of weeks ago, trees began blooming with these beautiful pink flowers that somewhat resemble passionflowers. I've never seen their like before. Does anyone know what they are? The trees are covered in them now and they're gorgeous. I'll try to get a picture of one of the trees in full bloom this weekend.
Still working on the skirt!
I've started four more squares on the Kaleidoscope Mandala.
Yesterday I showed you the remnants I bought at the Manos del Uruguay outlet. Here's the yarn I bought. The green I will crochet with; the blue is perfect for weaving. In the lower picture, you can see the big bag of yarn I bought for about ten dollars. Not a bad deal at all.
I don't know how it happened, but I am now in four simultaneous round robins. This is a block from the third one to start, silk ribbon embroidery. It's Diane M's block, and she put a picture of a cottage in Scotland in the middle of it. I was the first one to work on it, and this is the third block of hers I've worked on this month. She's in three round robins with me, and this was my month to do her block in all three.
Anyway, here's what I did:
I added a cherry branch to the upper left corner and then a rose swag below it. I also added a ruched and rickracked seam treatment, some rose beads, and a bead trim. I left the middle for someone else to play with, and it's now on its way to Australia.
