Passionflower Temari

 This is just a simple three spindle temari, but it reminds me of a passionflower.  It was one I gave away for Christmas.

TGOSM Ornament Exchange - Thank you Kay!

Kay sent me this gorgeous ornament in one of my favorite color combinations.  I love it! This was part of the The Gift of Stitching Magazine's exchange.  Thank you Kay!

A New Necklace

I picked up this necklace at the artisan faire in Parque Rodo.  The colors and craftsmanship really appealed to me.  And it's surprisingly lightweight to wear!

My First Rose Spindle

This was my first attempt at this woven rose pattern, and I like it.  I'll be making more of these.  This one was gifted on Christmas eve.


Quartered Heart

There's definitely a quarter of the big heart in the middle done.  Lots of stitching still ahead, though!

Gifts from Adriana

The girls got together just before Christmas, and we had a small party.  We also did a small gift exchange.  This is what Adriana got me!  I love the ribbons and threads and beads and will use them in various projects.  The little stocking is so cute, and cookies with a reusable tin are always welcome.  Thank you so much!

Miniatures from Buenos Aires

Finally took a picture of these.  They're miniature prints of some beautiful paintings we found in Buenos Aires.  I just fell in love with them - probably due to the color scheme.
