The LeMans Pits

Just as the goal of a LeMans race is different from other racing, so are their pits.  For one thing, more kinds of tires!  For another, lots more access for the fans, and the drivers and owners and mechanics actually talk to you.  Here are some pictures from after the LeMans race at Baltimore.









The Serpent's Tail

I have approximately 100 more rows to go, and have stitched about 150.  Progress!  The chameleon's or dragon's (depending on who's seeing what) tail is done, which means there's a Chinese character and the framing out of the piece to go.

Finally, the Castle

I finally got to starting the castle part.  It makes me feel like I'm actually making progress!

Sooo Close

I'm now down to the bow and laurel leaves, and the bottom row is sooo close!  Then it's down to backstitching and beading.  This might even be done by the end of  the month.  Yay!

The Support Team

The vehicles that make it possible for the racers to race....




One More Done

I finished another of my Crazy January Fifteen.  This one's Jubilation, a boxtop by Amaryllis Artworks.  I'll be doing more in other colors and making them into ornaments, I think.

On the Last Jellyfish

When we packed up to move, I put this in the UAB (unaccompanied air baggage) to Texas, hoping to finish it there.  The problem? We got it less than a week before leaving Texas, then the house in Virginia didn't have a place to stitch it up.  So it got to Moldova before I could work on it again.  After hoping to have it done before the end of August, I now hope to have it done very soon.
