The Southern Sky

When we went to the Gaucho Festival, we stayed out in the countryside.  It was so dark the stars popped in the night sky.  Here are some pictures of the stars of the southern hemisphere.  To actually see them you'll have to zoom in the pictures though.

This one has something streaking across the lower right corner.  We also saw either the ISS or shuttle go across the sky, but that was before the pictures were taken.

Just a longer exposure on this one.

And this is a picture of the Milky Way.  It's gorgeous.

Snowflakes

The center motifs resemble snowflakes to me.  I'm almost halfway done with the cross stitches, too!

Saturday Stash

We went to the market last week and I picked up a few things.  The gauze, though, is from the drug store.  It's still stash!  It's to cover plastic eggs to make temari eggs.

On the Way to Tuacarembo

The first weekend of March we went to the Gaucho Festival in Tuacarembo.  When we stopped for doggie break at a gas station, this group of motorcyclists stopped too.  They're from Brazil but could fit in in their excess at any motorcycle rally in the US...

Another Part Down

The thirteenth part of See the Stars is complete!  Another bit down on the stitchalongs.  I just hope to catch up closer some day.

Still Green

I am still adding green to my purple pirouette, but I am almost done with the green.  Once I am, there's really very little to do.

Dragon More Petals

I am still working on the first page of Naptime Dragon, the stitchalong with Kustom Krafts.  Slowly but surely, I'm working to the far edge of the page before working down more.  I like the pinks on the light green.  It's pretty.
