Quartering Up

There is just a little bit to work on for the third corner.  Maybe two sessions? and it'll be ready to move to the last one.

Hidden Animals

We weren't the only ones annoyed by the screeching, screaming, peripatetic toddlers.  Most of the animals were hiding, too.  The penguins were behind soundproof plexiglas, so they just were ignorant of the kidlets.

Squaring Up

The trifle below the square is started, and I've got the majority of the square done.  This is going to have a -lot- of beading to do!

Over Halfway

After all this time, I'm finally over halfway on the second motif of this section.  It's taken long enough!

New Life Rule

 This first picture is of the Battery Park fountain, which I just think looks neat and has nothing to do with the rest of the post.


Now, on to the life rule: Never go to the zoo on Mother's Day.  We did this at the Central Park Zoo, and it was a madhouse.  A multitude of toddlers were screaming, throwing tantrums, and generally being annoyances for everyone there (who were mostly parents of said toddlers).  It was NOT pleasant.  We did, at least, get a decent view of the seal show.

Renoir Done

Even though it's a small piece, it's taken me months to complete it.  Came out good, though, didn't it?  One more crazy January piece I can cross off my list.

World Trade Center

 I've visited the World Trade Center periodically for most of my life.  Since I tend to take the PATH into NYC, and it comes up under it, there's always a chance to look around.  Andreas snapped a few pictures as we made our way to the subway stop.  it's grown a -lot- since the last time we saw it.
