First African Art

We bought this at the Ilha, and it struck both of us because it doesn't have that usual African look to it.  To me, it looks like something from the Addams Family.

Three To Go!

I have only three more parts to go now.  Luckily I had some beads on hand for this last one.  I had ordered some "just in case" for other projects.

Bits Of Bling

I bought these at the Christmas Market at the French school last weekend.  It's the only real Christmas market in Luanda and it was packed - with French speakers!  I got to practice my French.  It's still better than my Portuguese.  At least we managed to get to some kind of Christmas market this year, so we didn't break our tradition.

These two are from the same lady I bought the blue barrette from last month.  I love how lightweight they are.

Close To The Bottom

Yay, I am almost done with all the cross stitching!  Next time there will be some blackwork beginning on this.

Floral Barrette

Bought this at the market at the Ilha on Saturday!

Going Blue

I have darker blue on this now.  Hard to see all the stitching, since it's so close to the background color.

Two Turtles

I have two turtles done and am started on a third.  I think I will do a turtle every rotation.  That way it'll be done more quickly.
