Fallen Leaves Pilot

I stitched this while I was still living in Montevideo!  Nearly two years later, I can show it to you - it's finally been released by EGA.  This is a crewel sampler called Fallen Leaves, and is one of the new group correspondence courses.  I, naturally, changed up the colors and used Gumnuts wools instead of the recommended Appleton.  I also used some Weeks Dye Works fabric instead of  the recommended.  I think it turned out pretty well.

Seasonal Dining

It's a nice, big, delicious mojito!  We went to Seasons with a bunch of embassy people for dinner a couple of weeks ago.  Andreas had a greek salad and a club sandwich.  He said they both were good; the sandwich was nice and full of fillings.  I had a (very large) chicken schnitzel and zeama.  The zeama was great.  The schnitzel really needed some sauce, even though I know it's not normally served with any.  I'm just too American in my taste, I guess.

Bottom Bits Of Tree

I filled in more green; almost all of it was bottom bits of the tree.  It's beginning to fill out and I am feeling like I might be done with these two pages some time soon.

B-ing Shelled

Getting the shell done to move on to the next letter!

Working Some Down

I feel like I'm making progress again as I finish this long horizontal bar.

Lofting It

 The consular section went to eat lunch at The Loft a couple of weeks ago.  One of the staff was going to America to start a new job, so we gave her a bon voyage.  I had my usual chicken and poached egg salad.  The second picture is of a different salad (the nicoise, I think).  All the food was good and the wine flowed and the former coworker is now in California already working at her new job and enjoying the sunshine.

Sweet Flower Sampler Done

Yay, the Sweet Flower Sampler from Puntadas Magicas is done!  I think it came out pretty well.  I've already given it to a coworker; she is going to make it into a peasant blouse.  When she's done, I'll take a picture!
