Dinner at Joe T Garcia's

We ate dinner at Joe T Garcia's several times while we were in Texas in August.  Whenever I go home, I have to eat there.  They have the best margaritas AND their enchilada dinner is superb.  It tells me I'm home.  Anyway, this night I had fajitas.  They were good, but my favorite's still the enchiladas.

Flowering Up

Here is my progress on the wildflowers as of three weeks ago.  I'm so close to getting the flowers done here.  Have practically discarded the stitch guide at the point.  It's not much help.

Internet, Finally!

Starnet finally came out and set up our internet today.  What should have been a ten minute visit ended up being three and a half hours due to incompetence, but at least we have internet now!

Skirted Up

I'm finally done with the skirt! It's a major milestone for me, and now all I'm left with are the banner and flourishes.

A Bit of Texture

The stitching goes on, and I'm able to see the result of my decision not to use only basketweave stitch. The texture of the green is adding some nice dimensionality, I think.

Waiting for the Castle

Some of the blue, some of the green, and a bit of dark gray, but still no castle.

Fruiting

I'm not sure why all this set is so dark, since I'm not the photographer. I do know we're still setting up here, and that might be part of it. Passiflora trellis is making lots of progress and now has two fruit starting to take shape.
