Half of Fifth

I've got some real progress!  The first half of part five is stitched.  Now to mirror it on the other side.  I'm also most of the way done with the Rhodes stitches on part four. 

Thank You Teejay!

These lovely threads came all the way from England just for me!  Aren't I lucky?  Thank you Teejay!

For Ana

Whenever Ana comes over for her temari lessons, Tux is there to greet her.  He hangs out with us, usually on his back like in these pictures.  She said I should put him on my blog, so here he is.  The reason he picks this spot is because there's a hot wate pipe under the floor.

Making a Medallion

Lots of stitching on this second part; I've got a big medallion to finish off yet.

Punked Out

I got my steampunk block back, finally!  I was beginning to worry it wouldn't get here before the move.  It did, though, and I thank the wonderful ladies who worked on it!  Now to add a bit more once I'm settled in Moldova and make it into a clutch.

Umaga Food

Pictures, mainly of desserts, from Umaga over several visits.

Pink and Black

 Melina left Uruguay at the beginning of the month, but not without a farewell temari.  Here's what I made for her - her favorite colors are pink and black.  It'll go into her new house in Virginia when it's completed in September - along with some other temari I'll be making in the meantime!
