One Kogin Done

I finished Janet Perry's Kogin Sampler in the original canvas size.  It is all ready for the CyberStitchers meeting and already gifted.

Back To Fencing

The right hand fencing is almost done now.  I've also added more to the inside area of the fencing, too.

The New Ka-52 Russian Helicopter

 We got to see a demo flight of the Russian Ka-52 at the Paris Air Show.  This is a new Russian attack helicopter, and it was pretty impressive with what it was doing.  The Russians also have a pretty novel design in that they have two sets of rotors on the main pole.  The rotors rotate in opposite directions.  They also don't have a rear stabilizing rotor.

Start And Finish In One Day

Sometimes it feels so good to finish something, anything.  That's the way I felt on Sunday when I finished this temari.  I'd been nearly three weeks since I'd finished anything.

Fixed Wing Prop

If I remember right, this is one of the restored planes at the air show.  It did a few stunts, but nothing special.

Second Aerobat

 Different plane, no smoke, same tricks.  I believe this particular plane was flown by the (female) director of the French Air and Space Museum.  The announcer seemed to be surprised that a woman could fly, and fly so well.  Go French chauvanism.







Just A Little

There's only a little bit of progress on the right.  I've been slacking, it's true.  This working just about full time really eats into stitching time.
