Greens and Blues

I've got about an inch done all the way across.  When I work on this, I see significant progress every time.

Breakfast at Ol' South

Ol' South pancake house on South University in Fort Worth is a local icon.  People of every walk of life start their day there with a ginormous breakfast that's not hard on the wallet, either.  On weekends, the line stretches out the door and into the parking lot. 

These pictures are from two breakfasts we had there.  Both were excellent and we left stuffed!

Almost to the Top

I'm almost to the top at the right side now.  It seems to be coming along more quickly than when I stitched the left side.

Still Struggling

The way the stitch guide is written, I'm almost convinced I'd be better off without one.  I'm definitely getting off the reservation on how I'm approaching this now.

Summer's Done

I finished the heart!  It's now ready to be finished into a pillow. 

A Real Life Note

I leave for Moldova today.  I loved my time in the States, with the exception of driving in Northern Virginia.  We do not already have internet set up at our house, but hope to have it within one to two weeks.  In the meantime, I'm scheduling some posts for you over the next few days.

A New Round Robin

Since I'm almost done with my move, it's time to start a new round robin.  The theme of this one is roses, so I made a nice foundation for them.  My plan is to have only yellow roses and then donate this to some people I know for funds for the firefighters in Texas.  It got sent off last week.  Hopefully the first one to work on will be waiting for me in Moldova when I land tomorrow.
