Sunflower Bouquet - Stitch Maynia #5

Another start; another Mill Hill kit. This one is of sunflowers on a red background.

Fiorentina Group Meal

One of our favorite places for a group dinner. And the steak is truly wonderful. I miss going out. I miss not cooking everything myself.

Random Naples Chapel

A random chapel we stumbled into after the food tour. Kind of pretty.

Peacock Mandala - Stitch Maynia #4

The first thing I decided when beginning this design by Northern Expressions Needlework was to ditch the outer border. I thought it detracted from the design and it was these yellow tiny jessicas. Not worth it!

Calling This One A Disaster

The pattern for this was a disaster, with none of the four sides being symmetric. I got tired of trying to keep it consistent and am calling it quits. It wasn't fun at all to stitch.

Random Consular Food

Went to this place that I can't quite remember on one of my consular trips around the country. The rounds of bread are the local cornmeal bread.

Naples Food Tour - Limoncello Factory

The store had a lot of stuff, and it's right near the entrance to the catacombs. It was also the last stop of the tour. They took us through the whole process of making limoncello.
