Saccharin Temari

 I made a mistake on this temari, but it still looks good.  Can you spot it?  The colors in person look about as sweet as cotton candy.

The Eternal Eva

Here's a series of pictures of the final resting place of Eva Peron.  It's in a side alley of the Recoleta, and it's her family's mausoleum.

Air Force Temari

 This temari was made for an air force lt. colonel, and was also a first in some other ways - my first more than 12-petal kiku, and my first temari so large.  I think it came out really well.  Saint likes it too, since I incorporated air force blue. 

Two of Nine

Two parts done now.  On to three.

A Former President

In one of the alleys of the Recoleta is this tribute to a former (modern-ish) president of Argentina.  I love the way the color from the stained glass window plays on the marble below.  You can find out more about him by blowing up the pictures of the plaques and reading them.

Tired of Page One

I am so close to finishing off page one, but I'm also at the point of frustration about it too.  Not much to go, and I'll be so happy when this first page is finished.

Last of the Calendar Girl Stuff

I received all these goodies from Jillann in the Calendar Girls exchange on the Friendly Stitchers group.  Aren't I lucky?  Thank you Jillann!
