Twinkle Done

I've finished the twinkle ornament.  It looks pretty good, but that linen floss is very stiff.  Now to make it into a real ornament.

Minor League

 We not only saw the major league Texas Rangers, we also saw the minor league Fort Worth Cats while we were in Fort Worth in August.  We bought tickets on the day of the game and managed to get seats right behind home plate for under ten dollars.  If you like baseball and want to take the whole family, minor league is the way to go.  The game was good even though the bullpen blew it in the eighth and ninth innings. 

Some Arches

The arches on the side are done.  Getting close to the middle and done with this part.

Lacy

I used Kreinik's 1/8 inch ribbon to mark the lines of this ball.  It's definitely chunkier than Nordic Gold.  For this design, it worked, though!  I ended up with a lacy looking temari.  This one's for the bazaar, too.

More Neighborhood

These photos were taken from our car as we drove through our neighborhood.  With no sidewalks and rutted roads, it's somewhat dangerous to walk very far, especially with the dog.  From these pictures, you can see that we have goats and chickens and some farmland, along with public (working) wells and unpaved roads.  Makes for an interesting place to live, although I'm not looking forward to navigating the area after snowfall.

Triangles for Christmas

Another winter bazaar temari.  This one's about the same size as the renzoku one.  I think they make a nice pair.

Past Houston

Houston wasn't a problem - breezed right through it on my march down the coast.  What IS a problem is there isn't enough ribbon floss in the kit.  Ordered some, and I hope it gets here soon.
