So Slow

I think I am getting kind of slumpy about this project.  I've been working on it nearly every day for over eight months now, and it's just getting boring!  It looks good, yes, but still.... I need a break.  But there's a time limit to get each part done, and I'm already behind.  I'll end the whining now.

Half A Character

I've got half my "courage" character done now.  If that's really what it says.  Progress is slow but steady.

Tempura Craving Unfulfilled

 I had a craving for tempura, so we went to Planeta Sushi in MallDova.  Unfortunately, they didn't have any tempura, so I still have the craving.  I guess I will have to make it myself.  Anyway, we -did- have spring rolls and chicken bites and a ramen noodle bowl.  They all tasted good, but really?  No tempura?  I can dream!

Leaning Castle

I'm going to have to block this carefully once I'm done stitching.  It's crooked!  On the other hand, I'm getting so close  to finishing I even have stitches done on the last row.

Just Fencing

I'm not showing any real garden yet, but the fence is coming along.  The top is approximately half the width of the finished design.

Random Audi

 This car was sitting in MallDova last month on display.  It's an Audi A1, and yes, there are some on the road.  For as poor a country as this place is, it's got more than its share of BMW's, Porsches, Mercedes, and  Ferraris.

On The Stem

I'm on the stem now of the last flower.  This is going to come down, soon, to just doing all the white background.  I can't wait.
