Half Across

I am working on the center motif of the top band of the sampler.  It's very close to being done.

La Placinte For Dinner

 On a recent Sunday afternoon, we went to a late lunch/early dinner at La Placinte.  This was not the location we usually go to, but the food was the same.  Andreas had salad and I had soup.  Both were good.  We got a picture of someone else's fried potatoes - we were there with two other families - and  the yellow half sphere is mamaliga.  My roast chicken was dry as dust and not very flavorful.  It's something I will not order again.  The placinte with cheese was good and greasy as usual.

Brand New Stash

I had been looking for this stocking canvas on sale for a few years for Andreas.  When Pocket Full of Stitches had its sale in January on all canvases, I jumped right on it and they ordered this one for me.  The rolled it up and packaged it beautifully and it got here in perfect condition.  I'm hoping to have the time and to find some stretcher bars big enough to start this soon.

On To The Last

I've got all the stitching done on the wings.  On to finishing up with a  body and antennae and some sparklies.

Itching To finish

I have maybe ten rows left.  I think it's time to just start working until it's done.

Cornering Again

Large stitches make quick progress.  I'm currently doing the largest stitches on the piece.  This means lots of progress, right?

Classification Issue

This is a new, to me, piece.  A friend asked me  to finish it for her.  She's done all the stitching to this point, but it's languished for six years because working on it gave her headaches.  It's an Art Goblen design, and it's very out of my comfort zone.  On the other hand, there's a -lot- done already, so it shouldn't take me too long to finish.  It's now in my rotation.
