LOVE Suare

This is my current project; it's L-O-V-E Square from The Sweetheart Tree.  As you can see, I've made a little bit of progress on it.

Hancock's Disappointment

There's a local Hancock Fabric store here about two miles from the house - in the vicinity of Northeast Mall.  We went there a couple of weeks ago and I was very disappointed in the selection of well, everything.  It all looked shopworn and old.  Not much really interesting to me, so I concentrated on basics like needles.

Heart Complete

I finished my friendship heart last week, too, and already gave it to my mother.  She's going to get it framed and hang it either in her office or in her house.  I think it came out pretty well, and I still have most of the hank of the purple silk for another project.

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.
