Not Very Blingy

I decided to make an un-blingy temari.  This is the result.  It's a dark green mari embroidered with two strands of Bravo from Rainbow Gallery.  The pattern is on a C8 and is six interlocking kikus.  The pictures really don't show the subtle color changes unless you enlarge them.

Another La Pasiva

 The La Pasiva in Montevideo Shopping is much better than the one in Punta Carretas Shopping.  These two items were from lunch at Montevideo shopping.  The pizza is the Uruguayan equivalent of a thick crust.  It's called a pizzeta.  On bottom is a tableta, one of Andreas' favorite things. Basically, a tableta is a meat and cheese tray with olives.

Ribbons!

Betsy found a beautiful bag of remnant ribbons at Hancocks.  I'm the grateful recipient of the bounty!  Now I get to add them onto my things.  I'm already plotting uses.

Bottoms Up

Got the bottom of part two done on this.  Each part has a lot of stitching, so it takes a while.

Terracotta

 Since we have only seven more weeks in Uruguay, we've been going out and doing more lately.  These are some pictures of a recent dinner at Terracotta on Colonel Mora.  The food is very good and less expensive than other places of the same caliber.  This was my chicken.  Isn't that a novel way to present sweet potatoes?  Andreas' dish is below, then another picture of mine.

Switch to Red

This week was another switch to red.  I got a couple more lines done!

Thanks Mouse!

I received this wonderful chart, some fabric, and some other things from Mouse last week.  Aren't they beautiful?  She even made a great handmade card to go with it!  This is part of the Friendly Stitchers' group Calendar Girls exchange.  Thanks so much, Mouse!  I love it!
