Blackeyed Pea!

This is probably one of my favorite meals ever - chicken fried steak, fried okra, and squash casserole from the Blackeyed Pea.  We had fried pickles (no picture) as an appetizer.  I couldn't finish it, but it sure tasted good!  Andreas had fish and chips.  It was good to be home in Texas.

Tasseling Alnong

This has been coming along fairly quickly, as I've been working on it daily.  You can see the tassels taking shape.

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.
