Winging It

 Before dinner we ran into Dawn and Colm at Buffalo 99.  We ended up sitting down and sharing food and drink.  Their appetizers were very generously portioned, especially the chicken wings.

Framed For Mom

Dawn took this one home to Mom for me last month.  MolDeco framed it and they did their usual bang up job.

This Too

I have decided to put this aside until I get to Angola.  While I've made a lot of progress, I'm still feeling like it's going very slowly and I'm not getting any joy from stitching it.  I need joy to counter stress in my life during the move.

Opera House Courtyard

 This pretty little courtyard sits right next to the Odessa opera house.  It's a nice place to sit, people watch, listen to practice, and drink a cup of cappucino.

Begin The Birdies

The green on the left is the top of the bird head.  That means I'll be using more colors soon.

Painted Board

I now have a new painted cheeseboard with bunches of pretty currants all over it.

Bits More Of The Sampler

I've got a lot of the fourth line done.  Progress abounds.
