Hard To See

I think I am going to have to outline the letters on this, as they're barely visible on the fabric.  Gotta do Beaker, though!

Little Owl

This little kit was from Luca-S and finishing the stitching was the work of only an evening.

Taj Lunch

After my first Good Friday tour, I went to the Taj Palace for lunch and at at their ground level restaurant.  I was sooooo happy to be able to have a bland meal for once in Mumbai.  Even though it was not full of spice, it was fresh and tasty.


Old Car

 Strangely enough, Good Friday is a holiday in India.  That was the day I was walking on a tour and saw this old Indian car.  Pretty neat and well kept!

Off To A Meh Start

This is my first beginning of the Linen and Threads Mystery Sampler.  I started it as part of Stitch Maynia, but I think I am going to restart.  The fabric I ordered from Picture This Plus is darker and greener than I desired.  I found a better linen in my stash, and I am now waiting for some threads from Needle in a Haystack to come in so I can get the colors just right.

All Outlined

Because I am running out of the Ariana pearl thread I am using for the outlines, I have decided to leave this piece square.  That means, with the outlines of the three little boxes below, I am done with all the edges.  Yay!

Mango Lassi

A lassi tastes like ice cream before it's been frozen.  I had this mango one on one of my walking tours of Mumbai.  It was fruity and cold and refreshing.  If you want to make your own, you can follow the recipe here.
