Two-and-a-Bit

I'm getting really close now - down to two and a bit more squares.  I'm -so- ready to have this done.

Local F3

There was a "Semana Criolla" at the Prado last week.  Lots of local products, a rodeo, a gaucho song competition, and so on.  One item they had outside one of the buildings was a race car!  This car is used in F3 races in Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, and is sponsored by one of the local shoe companies.

Two of Four

I managed to get a whole leaf done in one session this week.  The second gingko leaf is done, so two more on the upper area, and one in the cut out.

Spotted on the Street

We left the house for a walk with Mattie, and this car was parked across the street.  It's an old Ford Taunus.  Yes, Taunus, not Taurus.  This looks to be a late 1960's model with a weird Barracuda back thing going.  Evidently they were made in Germany.  One's still running around here.



Still on Six

I got the second and third parts of this log done.  It's complicated!  There's satin stitching to do, then it'll be complete.  This time, I wrapped metallic thread around all the back stitching and filled in the small spaces.

Easter Bounty

A large percentage of each grocery store was stocked with Easter eggs and bunnies and such for most of April.  Here's a picture of some of the pretty eggs.  

Resisted!

I successfully resisted starting the fourth rectangle until the third one's done.  It's completed now, so I just have to work on this last part and the stitching will be done.  Yay!
