Lighter Blue

Lots of lighter blue is beginning to creep into the bottom area. I am now officially more than halfway done with the cross stitching.

Who's Fabric

We found these prints on fabric.com and Andreas ordered plenty for me to make something with.

Pretty Sights Around Odessa

While walking around Odessa we took photos of some things that interested me.  The city hall is beautiful in the sunlight, and this restaurant's terrace barriers are very decorative.  At the bottom are some gorgeous hand crocheted Irish lace clothing items.  In person, they are breathtaking.  They were also for sale - for a very reasonable price.

Happiness Is Color

I am so very happy to be adding more color to this!  It just feels better than all the unrelenting brown.

Odessa Finds

I found these at the market surrounding the Odessa cathedral.  I especially like the steampunk earrings.

Late Lunch At Buffalo

We kind of got to Buffalo a bit late for lunch after going to the catacombs with Kerry.  Everything was good and we had a very nice, if weird, meal.  My cherry dumplings were especially delicious.

Barely July

The July square is coming along very slowly.  I have just become overwhelmed with doing things and with Tuscany Town Mandala.
