On The Other Side...

I've started on the right side bottom motif now.  I feel I'm making real progress on this piece.

Fob From Betsy

Knowing I like bee motifs, Betsy made this beautiful needlepoint key fob for me.  Thank you, Betsy, it's adorable!

Down To Drawing Thread

I've started part three now; the first band is drawn thread.  The hemstitches are done.  It's time to draw the threads out.

Why I Went...

 Or, at least, the timing of why I went to the US last month.  This is my son.  He graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute on May 12th with degrees in aerospace engineering and professional technical writing. I'm so proud of him!  The rest of the pictures give you an idea of the ceremony.

Lining It Up

I've almost got another whole row done.  It's good to be beginning to catch up.

More Of My Garden

This is the rest of the pictures of my garden before we left for holiday.  This is beautiful, but we came back and the petunias are bigger and the roses are covered in blooms.  I'm trying to get Andreas to take pictures, but things haven't worked out for that yet.

Started The Mandala

I've made a lot of progress on this while on vacation.  It's grown quite a bit, as it was one of the easier things to pick up while traveling.
