Some Gold, Some Brown

The Lady got a bit more glitz this week with some gold braid and, of course, what would a week be without some brown added?  At least it's getting to the end.  The white sweep on the left is the last of her dress on that area.

Kaleiding Away

There were four solid squares and several periphery pieces here for the part I'm working on now.  I still haven't finished it, after over a week of working on it every day, but it is coming along.  Finishing soon.

Tentacling On

This week, I worked on the massive tentacles for the third jellyfish.  I should have that done the next time I work on it.

More Countryside

Some last pictures of the Tuacarembo/Valle Eden area.  All are very much countryside.

I have no idea what kind of bird it is, but it's surely pretty.

Wild turkeys!

Arlene's Silk Ribbon Block

I finished up Arlene's silk ribbon block and mailed it off last week.  Here's a picture of the block before my work.

And here it is after I finished.  I didn't go the floral route because there were already so many beautiful flowers on the block.  Instead, I did a branch full of leaves and some dragonflies.  I also added a chainlink border and a rickrack border embellised with ribbon and beads. 

A Pattern Emerges

The second rectangle's pattern is hard to establish with a thread length - the gaps between are just too big.  So, now that I've added three colors to it, you can see the wave emerging.  I'm almost done with the first basketweave rectangle, too.

Last Gaucho Festival Post

At least for this year, it is.  We've not decided if we're going next year yet.  This is a picture of one of the booths with stuff for sale.

This picture and the next are for Andreas' mother.  I know I wouldn't feel safe on these rides...

And a pet monk parakeet.  We get these in our back yard in the spring.

This is the lake in the middle of the festival grounds.  The main circuit goes all the way around it.  For some reason, it's called Washerwoman lake.

I thought the meal kits were kind of spiffy.
