Real Barrels!

 Duchman Winery was the only one we visited in the Texas Hill Country where I actually saw an aging room.  The had a Christmas tree up, but it was definitely a working room.

Ironic

 Is it me or is it a bit odd that the church steeple looks like it's rising from the saloon on Main Street in Fredericksburg? 

Bits Of Vine

Only one more band this time, but a lot of progress on backstitching the heart.

Beginning To

The building is beginning to look like one.  I have been able to work on it nearly every week for a while, and that feels good.

Braving The Ice

 We finally braved the storm enough to go out to eat on the Monday night after the great Fort Worth ice of 2013.  The roads were still pretty scary.  No one was delivering yet.  We made it the dozen blocks to Dos Gringos and enjoyed a huge Mexican meal.  This margarita was at least 20 ounces.  Andreas had a quesadilla and some nachos while I went for the enchilada dinner.  As usual, there was waaay too much food.  We had great service though the food was a little slow.

Second Wing

I'm working on the second wing now, getting it a bit more filled in.  Slowly, I will get this done.

Another Crazy Finish

I did manage to finish this on the plane.  It's Just Nan's Happy Bluebird, and I didn't particularly like the charm in the middle.  I'll put something else there when I finish it into an ornament.  Slowly finishing off the old Crazy January lists.
