It's Ornament Time

If you've been reading my facebook statuses, you'll know that I've been traveling a bit.  This piece was worked on because of the travel - it's small and I don't need my puter open for the chart.  I've also got a very early Christmas deadline, as we'll be traveling again during that time.  So... it's about time for me to switch over to Christmas projects.  I normally don't do that until November, but I'll be doing it early this year.

Turquoise Filigree

These wouldn't exactly be my first choice of colors to combine, but they're growing on me.  It's one of the newer Mill Hill kits, and I'm 2/3 done with the backstitching.  So far, it's quick.  Might slow down when I start the beading.

Aerobatics, Anyone?

 Still cloudy but no rain that Friday.  Two more planes doing aerobatic tricks.  The second is definitely Euro military.  I want to say it's a Typhoon?

Still Castling

The castle's almost done.  It's getting to be time to start the C!

Been A While From Caruso's

 We came home from France and almost immediately had guests.  Of course we had to take them to Pizza Caruso.  Yum!

How Close?

 From these pictures you can see how close we were to the runway.  We sprang for seats on the bleachers at ten euros per day.  They were nice, roomy seats and we didn't have to stand on concrete like the ones in front of us.  The views, as you can see, were great.  The noise was deafening on occasion.

Getting Closer

I have one side pretty much complete and a good start on the other half.  Now to sit down and finish it.
