Hearting Back

I am so far behind on this piece, but at least I'm working on it again.  I might get a bit closer.

Very Early Spring Beach

Back at the end of September we took a trip to Punta del Este, the tourist spot of Uruguay.  Already there were people out in the sun and on the beach sunbathing.  There was a stiff wind and it was in the sixties.  Far too cold for me to not wear a sweater!

There is an island close by where the sea lions live.  Here's a shot of it from the beach. This is where the sea lions come for their meals - the fishermen throw their waste overboard.

 Some of the major hotels and apartment towers from the point part of the beach.  These are on the river side of the point.  There's a noticeable change in the water color between the river and the ocean, and it's right around the point.

Nice car on the street.

We saw these wildflowers on the shoreline.  They're low growing succulents, and I have no idea what they're called, but they're really pretty!

Faith Done

One word of three done, and the ornament more than halfway finished.  Now to complete it...

One Last Prado Picture

A real gaucho, authentic as can be.  He even smelled of barnyard.  Anyway, pay close attention to the belt!

Another Exchange Temari - Tanabata

This week, I got my GITS from Jean C.  This is the tanabata GITS that I did the ribbon bamboo for.  I just love the colors and the woven sections on this!  It gives me another example of skills to strive for.  Jean and I will be exchanging again really soon, as we got paired for the Anything Goes GITS!  Thank you Jean for such a lovely temari. 

A Bit More Heart

I started in on the colors this week. 

Progressing

Got more black done this time.  Sooo close to the end of the first page!
