Temari Basket

I gathered all the temari I gave away for Christmas this year and got these pictures taken.  The amount looks impressive!

Beribboned

Betsy sent me ribbons last month!  They're a great collection of remnants that I can use in finishing and on my crazy quilting.  Look for ribbon in a project near here soon.  Thank you!

Pretty Purse

I received this beautiful purse from Betsy.  It's in colors I love and is the size I like to carry.  On top of that, it's cute!  I love the little dragons attached to the chains.  Thank you!

Handmade Paper

Isn't this paper pretty?  I got it at the pre-Christmas artisan's fair.  Not sure what I'll do with it yet, but I thought the marigold petals in it were so pretty!

Pandas and Penguins - More Montevideo Christmas

 A few pandas for Betsy from the mall's Christmas displays.  This one was outside Santa's area.  Penguins and camels and tigers, too!  They're already beginning to take down the display.  Bye bye holidays, hello Carnaval.

Sun Square Temari

 Yet another of the gift temaris, this one is a simple square design on a S4 marking.  I think, because of the thread and color choices, that it came out pretty well.

Getting to the Bottom Branches

You'd think that such a small ornament wouldn't take long to stitch, but it took a surprisingly long time to get this far.  It might be that every single square is stitched and there are a lot of color changes.  Anyway, I'm working on it still and I hope to have it done soon.
