Ladybugs

Found this barrette in a shop in Odessa when we went last month.  I loved the ladybugs, so had to get it.

Ups And Downs

Nearly halfway across with the ups and downs of the pattern.

Stitching The Sidewalk Down

The sidewalk got some love this time.  Parts of it extend past the end of the page and onto the next.  I have maybe twenty columns to go on this page.

Thimbles!

 Andreas decided I needed to add to my thimble collection, so I now have two more.  The top one's unusual, in that it's wood.  The lower one has the Normandy crest on it.

On The Way Down

The starfish is done now and the letter is almost done.  I'm just past the halfway point of the whole piece.

Two Leaves

Two leaves are about done.  On to the third and then the rest.

My Favorite Ribbon Shop

 Every time I go to France, I try to get to the Rue de Gros Horologe in Rouen.  Yes, there's a big clock there and it's a beautiful clock, but .... in the shadow of the clock is a ribbon and button store.  The store is Homo Rousell, and it's run by a 90 year old lady and her staff of six or seven clerks.  They're wonderful, and the selection is amazing!  I bought all these ribbons there.  They're much more gorgeous in person.  I'll be back.  It may be a few years, but I'll be back.
