Another Part Done

The rectangles around the octagon are done now, which means all the cross stitches for part three are done.  Yay!  Time to work on a very small part four and get more of the specialty stitches in part two done.

Slowly Filling In

More confetti this time, and some patches of grass are beginning to look like actual patches of grass.

On The Walls

These photos are from the entrance wall of Edinburgh Castle.  This castle is a living structure - it changes constantly.  Kind of neat to watch.






To The Races And Beyond

The first few photos here are of the motocross racetrack.  As you can see, it's perfectly safe and well kept up.  There are races most every weekend.

The rest of the photos are on the same road, in the better part of town known as Talatona and also Nova Vida.  The Xyami shopping center is fairly big and has a the only Pizza Hut in Luanda, along with a KFC.  It also has a very nice home goods store - the one I bought my cow fur chair in.

Tableau

This actually looks like a painting now.  I'm impressed!

Better Part Of Town

You can tell this is one of the better parts of town because the road is paved, most of the buildings are complete, and there are no shanties up against the buildings.















Both Sides Now

Since I was using a color that didn't have much on the left, I wandered off to the right and put some stitches in there, too.  It's beginning to get a bit more even, I think.
