Another Round of Red
A few more rows of background done. I feel like I'm making progress only because I see the end of the lizard to work toward.

Old LeMans and The Car I Want
A racer from days gone by still in great shape, even if it is a Corvette.... and the car I'd buy if I had the money. Isn't this black Aston Martin beautiful? It'd be a bit easier to get here than in the States, but I just can't afford it. The roads here would tear it up, too. It couldn't even drive down the myriad potholes strung together that constitute the road I live on. I still want, though!

Bottomed Out
I have a few more stitches to put in, but the bottom is reached! This is the full size of the piece. Whew, the end's in sight.

Saturday Night Concert
The Baltimore Grand Prix had some entertainment on Saturday evening. Several local bands whose names I don't remember played, and Collective Soul was the headliner. The local bands were pretty good. Collective Soul - the lead singer was obviously drunk or stoned. We left before they finished.

Jelly Bellies Finally Finished
I finally finished my Jelly Bellies pilot from Caela Conn Tyler. It's a pretty piece, and I hope the recipient likes it, but... the instructions were disorganized and assumptive, and a lot of the fiddly bits were fiddly solely as a "tour de force" of unneeded stitching techniques. Many things could have given the same effects for far less effort. Anyway, it's done and I'm happy about that! It took a three month hiatus during the move.

Small Start
I decided I needed some near instant gratification, so I started the Grow! tin from Just Nan. Changed up some of the colors, and am nearly halfway done already.
