The French Knot

I visited Fort Worth's own needlepoint store last week - The French Knot.   It's got a fairly wide selection of fibers and a bunch of neat canvases.  These are the fibers and findings I picked up there.

Cheese, Wonderful Cheese!

I had Andreas take this picture at Central Market because I've not seen so much variety in cheese for years.  Uruguay has about five kinds of cheese, plus a few very expensive imports, and the cheese aisle is very small.  It was wonderful to see kinds I've not seen in years!

Stars Added

No DPS visit to get a lot of stitching done last week, but I still got a couple of stars stitched.  It's getting close to completion.

Cupcakes

Instead of a cake for his birthday, I got Andreas cupcakes.  They were delicious!  And the bakers are really nice, too.  They're A Taste of Heaven.  If you need cupcakes in flavors like root beer float or red velvet, this is the place to go.

Quilting Stgash

I went to a class just after I got to Fort Worth.  It was hand applique at The Cabbage Rose.  You can see what I did in the next picture down.  Anyway, there was a ten percent discount on anything bought that day for class attendees, so I bought.  These pictures, though, are the shopping results of two trips.  I went back about a week after the class, too.

Two Day Project

This little square was a kit from Nordic Needle.  I did it in two days, as a break from other things.  I'll be making it into an ornament when I get to Moldova.

Fried Pickles

 We at lunch before seeing Harry Potter on Andreas' birthday, too.  The sports bar by the theater had fried pickles on the menu, so naturally, we had to have them.  I missed this Texan treat and think I won't get it in Moldova, for some reason.  The rest of the food was decent, too.
