BeFinched

Last week a finch flew into the house and decided to make itself comfortable in the rafters of the second story.  We managed to get it out of the house after a little bit.  The cats stalking it certainly didn't help.



Last of the Three Kings


This is the last set of Three Kings parade pictures.  I -should- have pictures from Teatro Verano and the inaugural parade soon.  I almost titled this post "dancing in the street" because there's a lot of that.  And at the end, not only the kings handing out alfajores, but a picture of the food vendors - did I mention the lax safety laws here?








Another Gift from Ana

Ana made these cute little bird and heart ornaments for us and gave them out on Friday.  Thank you so much, Ana.

Monogram Block - Colleen

Last month, we started the Monogram round robin.  Here is the first block I received - Colleen's.  At first, I wasn't taken with the block, but then it really grew on me.
I had to stop myself from adding more to it than I did.  Once I started working on it, the ideas just kept coming.  I hope she likes what I've done.

Adding Some Beads

I got a third section of City Walk done.  It's a beaded one, and the beads are strung in an odd pattern.  The directions were muddled, but the diagram helped a lot.

Fashion Faux Pas

Would you wear these things parading down the street?









Millions of Peaches

I have the feeling that I'm going to have done millions of peach colored stitches by the time I'm done with this.  All the work this round has been peach colored.  At least it's done, right?
