All A-Heart

The heart's finished and is ready to mail off to its final destination.  The pattern is from Gazzette 94.  They have a lot of neat little things!  

Checkerboarded

One ninth of the Purple Garden is done.  Now off to the second part.  

The Wrong Way - Hipodromo

During Carnaval, there was a bicentennial performance at the Hipodromo, the local race track and casino.  These pictures of A Contramano (the wrong way) are from that.  I think they should be called Men in Hats.  Anyway, A Contramano is one of the most beloved murgas in Uruguay. 

And now that Andreas has his new computer and is able to process his photos faster, I've got local color pictures!





Bogged Down

I feel so bogged down on this piece.  After almost a year, I'm still on page one!  Granted, I'm almost done with page one, but still... I'm so slow.

A Banner Week

I got more done on the banner this week.  There's a bit of skirt that I managed, too.  I'm in the home stretch, right?

Another Wedding Gift Temari

This is the second of the two temari I made for the bridal shower.  I gave it to Danielle. who loves pink and black and always wears the most fashionable, bright colors.  I hope she and Maurice have a great life together and enjoy their first post together in Central America in the autumn.

The temari is a new type for me - wrapped bands and then stitching over them.  I think it came out great.

Time for a Hilton

Okay, so it's a lot of Hilton stitches.  They're all placed, though, and ready to be interspersed with satin stitches next round.
