Fourth Part Filled

Working from the middle out, each set gets a little bit bigger.  The hardest part of this section was pulling out the canvas threads.  Always a scary prospect!

Purse Project

Sometimes you get a lot done in a little bit of time.  That's what's happening with this piece.  I work on it while waiting for shawarma and waiting for the doctor to see me and so on.  It's coming along pretty well.

Still Not There

I've not had as much stitching time as usual this week because it's Carnaval, so there are still a few stitches left on this peacock feather fan.  On the other hand, there actually is progress.

More of Parque Salus

Corporate symbol on the wall of the bottling plant.  We didn't get to tour it.

A hornero nest.

There were these mounds of aloe vera plants.  I found their geometry fascinating.

Sparkly and Arches

I did the green sparkly in the upper left, making it look bright, and also started the left hand acanthus leaf outline.  There are now full arches on the houses too.

Another for Jean - Stitcher's Choice

I finished my temari for Jean, and it arrived safely in Canada.  The pattern I chose is a woven rose design, and it works up so well in kyo-temari thread. 

The Source of Salus

Salus is the bottled water company of Uruguay.  They're also owned by the same company as the brewery, and the spring for the water also supplies the water for the beer.  It's about a mile from the brewery.  The ornamental part is surrounded by jungle-like greenery, otherwise not seen for miles and miles around.  The panther fountain is because of a legend that the original users of the spring were allowed to by a panther who considered it "his" water.
