Nearly To The Trunk

Going to have to stitch some border soon, but it's almost to the point of adding the top of the trunk.

Starting The Second

It's time for a patchwork pumpkin.

Haribo Store Window

What you can do with Haribo!  The store also has a lot of very unusual flavors of gummi bears inside.

A Small Ornamental Start

This is the beginning of one of Mill Hill's current crop of Christmas ornaments.  Royal Capri is its name.  The piece is already as wide as it will get.  It should be pretty easy to complete.

More Leaves

A little bit more outlining done.  I think the contrast is looking pretty good, if a bit nontraditional.


First German Meal In frankfurt

 We took an early Saturday morning flight to Frankfurt, checking in to the hotel by ten and wandering downtown.  While downtown, we went to lunch at a little restaurant on top of one of the markets.  It was an old restaurant with a small menu and a clientele of elderly who lived in the area.  Andreas had sausages and I had one of the blue plate specials.  Mine was a beef broth soup, salad, sauerbraten with dumplings, and chocolate pudding.  Together, the meals were under 20 euros.  This low price downtown was probably the reason for the high elderly population.

To The Top

The middle section of this piece is about done, leaving me with the over one bits at the top and bottom.  I've started!
