Milk!

Just because it's so different, I've been asking for a picture of milk here for over a year.  The bottom bins are all liters of milk.  The top middle is cream.  On the right edge, you can see some large jars of yogurt.  There's also butter and margarine in the picture.  Anyway... milk here is sold in liter bags.  You buy a plastic pitcher and put the bag in it.  Once you've got the bag firmly seated in the pitcher, you cut the corner of the bag and pour.  If not done properly, it can result in major milk spillage.  Oh, and approximately one in ten bags of milk is bad due to transit and storage issues.  Just a little post about how different the small things can be.

Hemmingway's

 While Sean was here, we had dinner at Hemmingway's.  He had a plate of octopus.

 Andreas had Kassler (smoked pork chop) in raspberry sauce.

And I had filet mignon.  It was all good.

Slowly Creeping

Yup, still on the first page, but progress is certainly there.

Back to the Heart

The big, central heart is done.  Means I've got this almost complete....

English Water Garden Home

I received my English Garden round robin blocks in the mail last week.  Aren't they pretty?  I had asked for a water garden theme.  Thank you so much, ladies!  Now to figure out what I'm going to make from them!

That Was Quick!

The quickie is all done and ready to be made into an ornament!  It's much brighter than the picture in person.

Tuscan Tradeoff

I forgot to rotate the picture before posting it, but here's the Tuscan mandala.  Another acantus leaf outlined and the top part of the first corner is almost done.  Progress, no matter how slow, is still progress...
