Back To Pizza Caruso

 I've started working, and Thursday is the day I work all day.  Since I'm not home to prepare something for dinner, we've been going out to Pizza Caruso on the way home from work.  Andreas ordered his usual despite somewhat of a new menu change.  I got the O Sole Mio - a pie with porcini mushrooms, ham, and fresh mozzarella.  They're good.

Some Rounding

Yay, I've started the bottom arch of this last corner!  Maybe I'll eventually get this piece done.

Commissioned Temari

 A friend commissioned this temari for her daughter's birthday.  She picked her daughter's favorite colors and the pattern, and I think it came out pretty well.  Not only that, I got to practice my C 10 marking!


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.
