My second temari egg is a gift for Ingrid, who's leaving Montevideo next month for colder climes. It's a slightly different design from my first one, but the same colors. She really liked them, and says this egg will be the foundation of a decorated egg collection.
Yup, there's no one stabling area for the horses and no fencing, so the horses are around everywhere at the festival. It was a warm late summer day and gorgeous out.
Did I mention the camping area for the participants runs through the festival? I expect there were a lot of tents accidentally trampled by horses.
Almost all the women and girls were in these flowing dresses straight out of the nineteenth century. They looked lovely on the horses.
A bit more of the camping area here. It looks about as organized as the Grandfather Mountain camping area did.
Riding is a family affair, and here's a girl in a male outfit! All the horses looked in excellent condition, by the way, and some were absolutely beautiful.
Gathering around the parilla, Uruguay's version of barbecue. They put on anything from ribs to whole pigs.
Sitting in one of the temporary shelters for participants on the grounds, gathered around and just talking.
I managed to finish my seventh block on the HRW this week. Now it's back to the Kaleidoscope Mandala for a bit.
I closed up two more rectangles this week. Still several to go.
This is the rest of the photos from the Gaucho Festival parade. It was a very long parade. The dogs in this top photo are what they use around here as cow dogs. They've never heard of Sharrs, who would do so much more...
My order from Nordic Needle came last week, so I was able to work on the shutters. Yay! It's hard getting used to having to wait for any kind of supply. I can't just go drive and get most things here.
I made it to the edge of page one! There's still a huge amount to do, but at least I now have the parameters delineated.
