Something Different

Three different flavors of honey liquor in one "bottle".  It's actually three bottles stacked, but it looks neat and we taste tested the flavors before we bought.  Another medieval festival find.

Back And Forth

The peacock is getting a bit of blue on his back, and I've filled out more of the branch and background on the left.

Facing The Bird

I added some stitching to both the bird and the angel's face this time.  Also added a bit of fill to the wings.

Tiny Bits

I took this with to Odessa and got a bit more done.  Tiny bits add up, especially on a small project!

Medieval Jewelry

So, this isn't something that is usually found in jewelry shops.  It's a ferroniere and goes around the forehead.  They have a somewhat checkered past, come from Italy, and are great for cosplay.  We found a booth selling them at the medieval festival in Bayeux and bought this one.  It's gold colored and has a pretty smoky stone in the center.  Now to wear it!

Squaring Up

I got some squares done on the upper right and a bit filled in on the center square.  The lamppost also got its second curlicue.  Looks more even.

Bernie The Bolt

When we went to the medieval festival, we found a cloth seller!  He called himself Bernie the Bolt and had some lovely linen.  I'm going to stitch on it.  Price was right, too - ten euros a meter.
