After getting a bit more gray on the bottom, I decided it was time to add some gridding to the border and begin the backstitching. So, the top left now has some grid!
Andreas bought this temari kit for me from Japan. I wanted to try out the thread brand in it. I was even thrilled to get a pre-marked ball. Maybe I will do it this weekend.
Riquita, one of the ladies at work, gave me this little purse. Its center is made from poptop lids! It's a really neat design, and I'll find a use for it. Her great aunt's friend makes them. I think it's pretty neat, and it fits a whole baseball.
