Crazy January Start 13 - Peace On Earth Ornament

Yup, two Peace On Earth's.  They look different though. This one's from M Designs.

Copper Leaf

 I bought this at the craft co-op in Gatlinburg. I think it was Arrowhead.  Anyway, it's beautiful, reminds me of autumn, and I am going to hang it with my glass balls.

Crazy January Start Twelve - Holly And Hearts Mystery Sampler

I now have all three parts of this and started it with the idea of finishing it before next Christmas.  If I can.  This is Holly and Hearts Mystery Sampler from Lizzie Kate, and it's off to a good start.

Crazy January Start Eleven - Joy 2013

I made a start and a finish the same day, go me!  This is from the 2013 JCS ornament issue, and I decided to do it on linen with Trebizond silk.  Now I just need to finish it into the ornament it is.  I like it.

Self Service Food

Hondo's is a different kind of place; it's in Fredericksburg, and the food selection is what makes it different.  You find your own table, order at the bar, and pick up your food at the kitchen.  No table service here.  The place makes up for it with live music on the weekends, huge portions, and good food.  Mom had chili.  We had burgers of one sort or another - mine was a chili cheese one.  It was giant, loaded, and excellent.  

 

Spot The Dolphins

 Just walking along the quay in Galveston, we saw dolphins.  Can you find them in these photos?

Crazy January Start Ten - Ffraser Ffleur Ddeux

Another blackwork freebie, this one from Practical Blackwork.  I used a piece of fabric from my stash and a skein of thread also from stash.  Easy start because it's inexpensive!
