A Few Lines Here...

and a few lines there and soon you have real progress.  I'm fairly far down the second page now, and the salamander (dragon) is getting down to the lower part.  Maybe it'll get done some day.

Saturday Afternoon Stash

Last Saturday when we bought the ammonite, bracelet, and purse, we also bought some stash.  There are a bunch of tables to browse, and shopping around definitely helps you get the best deal.


BeSpired

One more building done.  

New Phase Started

I feel like I'm really making progress!  I started the bottom banner this stitching session.  Beginning this area makes me feel like I'm finally getting out of the skirt bog.

A Purse Find

Last week's trip to the outdoor market netted me this pretty vintage purse.  Not even much damage on the inside, and the outsid'es about perfect.

A Few More Tentacles

It doesn't look like I did much this week, but I did add tentacles to the far right jellyfish.  Not pictured here, I started working on the bell for the second from the left.  I'll show a picture of this next time I work on this.

Bracelet

Bought this bracelet at Plaza Matriz last week.  It was made in the 1970's here in Uruguay and kept in mint condition by the artisan.  He sold off his collection last year and now the person he sold it to is selling everything at the market.  It's a very nice piece of work.
