Behold, with this broom, I will sweep you away! The brooms are twirled and balanced and such - all by males. It'd be interesting to put these guys up against some high school and college drum majors and baton twirlers. They'd at least learn something from each other.
I promise, he's not the Burger King.
This is the bicentennial of the landing of the Treinte y Tres, Uruguay's liberators. So all year there are extra celebrations.

Thank You Tina!
This is the ornament Tina gave me in the Lunar New Year GITS. She was inspired by a crocheted ornament. I think it's great, especially the tassels around the middle that look like the backs of bunnies. It's the year of the rabbit, and so appropriate!

A Bit of Comedy
Yes, that's a guy on top. There are some male dancers. And some dress up like women for comic effect. There are a few in this set of pics!

Yet More Red
Well, I'm done with the first page. That means I have a page and a half to go. It's definitely progress! I've got more red done, and hope to maybe get some black in next time.

Needlecase for Susanne aus LU
Here is the needlecase I sent to Susanne in the Sticklounge exchange. Mine's a bit bigger than usual and crazy quilted. It was from a block I received on a Christmas cracker a couple of years ago that I embellished more, then added felt and finished it.

Hometown Carnaval
One thing to emphasize about Carnaval in Uruguay is that it's very much a local event. It's not like Brazil, with its outright commercialism and tourist appeal. It's like school plays and 4th of July parades - a community event that draws on local resources. These particular Inaugural Parade photos emphasize that.
