Time For The Background

Almost all of the design is stitched!  I only have beads and background to go.

Airport Lunch

There's not much else to do at an airport when you've dropped off your rental car and can't check your bags, so we took the obvious option.  We ate.  It turns out that in the bottom of terminal A of Charles de Gaulle, there are a lot of restaurants.  We chose the fancy sit down one instead of the McDonald's and Brioche Doree.  Andreas had (surprise!) the hamburger platter and I had a prix fixe lunch.  The first course of carpaccio was excellent.  The chicken was very definitely meh, but the green beans were fresh-ish.  Andreas' drink was interesting, in that it was a kind of lemonade and pineapple thing.  I had cappucino for dessert.  It was a good way to waste a couple of hours, and we were able to check our bags after finishing.

Putting Down The Wall

Since I'm all done with the houses, it's time to put up the wall.  I'll be so happy to get this corner completed, and I might do it soon.

One Big Spray

I've gotten a bit more of this Crazy January project done over my vacation.  it gets put back in the cabinet for now, though.  Time to buckle down on other things.

Still Filling

This is the first time in a while I can -see- progress on this.  It was more filling in, but the child looks a bit more solid now.

It Got Us Through

This Skoda Yeti was the car we rented in France.  It was a free upgrade from the compact car we were supposed to get.  We drove approximately four thousand kilometers in eighteen days.  The Yeti went through this, including back country roads, with little fuss.  It was small, but roomy enough for the two of us.  We did not feel crowded in the front seats.  One thing we were annoyed with was the Yeti's extreme reluctance to go in reverse.  It was always a fight when we had to back up.  This was consistent the whole time, and seemed to be a "feature" of the car.  It also had a very large turning radius. 

This was the first Skoda we've driven.  We felt it was solidly built, but will not be looking to drive one again.  The reverse is definitely a problem for us.

Bordered

I've got all the red border done.  Yay, major progress!  I started on the arbor supports, too.  Feels good to get so much done!
