Cafe Del Mar

A couple of Friday nights ago we went to Cafe Del Mar, a restaurant on the Ilha in Luanda.  Not only are they a restaurant, they will serve you at a beach chair during the day so you can watch the waves on the beach. The water, unfortunately, is not good enough to swim in.  The service was impeccable and the food was pretty good.  Andreas had a pasta dish, and I had picanha.  As usual, Angolans cut and cook it waaay too thin.  The fried banana was tasty and my caprianha was very good.  Overall it was a pleasant evening by the ocean waves.

Getting Darker

As the petals go toward the middle they get darker.  I've been getting far enough to see this now.  Progress is slow, but it is progress...

To The Bin

I pulled this out to add to my rotation and worked on it twice.  After that, I decided it brought me no joy to do and I had no use for it, so it went into the charity bin.

Maker Bracelet

Working through my backlog of craft project and I finished something new - another bracelet.

Backgrounding

Yay, I have most of the background done!  All I have after that is a bit of beading and placing large objects.

Coeur Done

I think my Coeur Rose came out well.  The piece was an easy stitch and fast when I finally made it daily.

Sculpey Bowl

I am working through my For The Makers kits as part of my finishing off/cleaning out spree.  This was one of the projects - a sculpey bowl.  It didn't take long to make and came out pretty well as a jewelry bowl.  I already have enough of these, so, while I learned something new, the product is going in the "for charity" pile.
