One Big Birthday Cake

 When you're as old as the Marines, you need a BIG cake!

Finally, TAST Week Ten

It's been quite a while since I worked on this.  That sampler stitchalong took over, and I wasn't able to do much.  Sooo.... I'm back to it!  The tenth week was running stitch.  I found this darning pattern and turned it sideways to use.  I like it!

Good Looking Marines!

 Our Marine Security Detachment is only five Marines and a Gunny here.  The Marine on the right in the top picture was visiting. All the rest are our detachment.  We were down one (not yet assigned) at the time of the Ball.  Aren't our Marines good looking in their dress blues?

Getting To The Top

Almost all the bouquet flowers are done.  It's just time to top off the circle.

Marine Ball Decor

 Here's what the tables looked like for the Marine Ball.  Each had the Marine, US, and Moldovan flags and every place had a program.

Last Of The Jewels

I managed to put in a little bit of work on the last of these little squares.  I think the colors look really good on black.

A Meadowing

Still creeping closer to the end of this!  I'll be sooo happy to have a 2011 crazy start off my list when this is done.
