Cornering The Gargoyle

For some reason, I am truly liking working on this piece.  It's coming along nicely, and I like it on this color of blue.  I even like that I'm doing it on 40 count fabric.

Fascinating

This is my newest addition to my hair collection.  I found it on etsy at Castle Memories after seeing it on Pinterest.  I love it!  It looks better in person, of course, because photos just don't show the iridescent softness of the feathers.

Yup, More Earrings

 I bought this top pair of earrings at the medieval festival.  The bottom three are from Mirin'elle.  She came to the embassy about three weeks ago.

Patriotic Nails

 My mancurist, Olga, did a great job making my nails patriotic for Independence Day!

Tired Of The Tree

When will this tree end?  I am so sick of the nearly random greenery blocking everything else off....

Almost Sided

There's a bit more done on the sides now.  The left side is almost to the corner on the inside.

My Husband The Archer

This is Andreas' gift to himself from the medieval festival.  The bow is handmade in Ukraine, and it was the bowmaker himself who sold it. The arrows, the same.  It was, of course, not the price of a toy bow, but has a 44 pound draw and should be good enough for some exercise soon.
