Close to Bubbles

The big blue bubble on the left and green in the middle are both getting close to completion.

Building the Walls

Just filling in the walls on this side.

Tempura Fix

The one thing we had a hard time finding in our food excursions in the States was tempura.  There were a lot of sushi restaurants, but no good tempura.  We finally found some on our last weekend, in Laurel, MD at Osaka Japanese Restaurant.  We did the whole hibachi thing for lunch while we were at it.  Andreas had lobster hibachi, and he loved it.  Mine was chicken and steak.  The food and show were excellent.

Three Fruits on the Vine

Lots of leaves, and now  three fruits started.  Thre's even the beginning of a flower!

Background Started

Yay, all the flowers are done and I've started the background - even if it is with ucky ribbon floss.  This project is truly going quickly.

It feels good to be finally done with the skirt, and working on the banner.  It's the last big part of the piece.  I'm hoping to finally finish this before the end of the year.

Hope

Another bit of Christmas rush - this ornament is being made specifically for an exchange.  It's Hope by Mill Hill.  I hope it doesn't take too long.
