Keys!
We were in Cuidad Vieja last Saturday and strolled through the market in Plaza Matriz. Found some keys and bought a few, along with some tokens from early last century. Now to decide who gets to use them in projects...

Red Tentacles
Sometimes I think a designer puts stuff in to teach a new technique. I ran into that very thing with this on my last stitching session. There are two kinds of tentacles on the second jellyfish from the left. The first is whipped outline stitch, and the second is couched wire. The wire was superfluous, I believe. It was a pain to work with and did not add much dimensionality at all. Anyway, it's done now! On to working on the next jellyfish for a bit.

Simple Shells
I haven't decided if I'm going to use these bracelets as jewelry or as embellishments. Bought them on Punta Ballena. They're pretty.

Still Have Willpower
I've still managed not to start the fourth rectangle. Who knows if I'll be able to hold on until this one's done, though. After all, I'm -so close- to being completely done.
Skinny Scarf
We did a couple of car trips while my son was here, and so I brought something to do in the car. This is the result! I finished a skinny scarf. The pattern was from a book a friend gave me for my birthday (Thank you Melina!) and it worked up quickly once I sat and did it. The colors are brighter than show up here, and it's something I'll wear once the weather gets more chilly.
