Lady and the Cat

Someone decided to critique my stitching as the picture was taken...

Some more brown done on this, and the ribbon got brought done some more.  Getting closer.

Coffee

On Monday, since we had the day off, a group of us went to Old Town to show a temporary person around.  While there, we stopped at McDonalds to warm up and get a drink.  So... this is how they serve mochachinos in McCafes in Uruguay.  Fancy!  It's still a McDonalds, but the cafe part is somewhat separated from the regular McDonalds and has better furniture.

Lots of Work, Little to Show

Well, I did spend some time on this part this week.  It's a lot of teeny tiny stitches, so it doesn't look like a lot of progress.  I think it's more work done, though, and there are other places where there's not much for a lot of visible punch.

Waving Along

Three more stripes done on the second rectangle, so it's almost half done.

From Blue to Color Blasted

This picture shows how I sent off my silk ribbon embroidery round robin block.  It was all blue, and I didn't specify any particular theme for it.

And here is how I got it back.  It's a carnival of color and gorgeous!  I was so surprised at how they made a blue block pop so much.  Thank you Arlene, Candji, Diane and Susan for doing such wonderful work on my block!  I love it.

Another project I'm going to have to concentrate more on!  Marquoir just finished this piece, so I have three months to get mine done.  Needless to say, the kaleidoscope has a higher priority, but this one's coming right after.  There are about five or six more parts left.  I can get it done.
