More Flowers

Andreas surprised me with another bouquet of flowers. I love the hydrangeas! And the big green balls are actually a kind of dianthus. Thank you, dear.

 

In Death, Everyone is a Pretty Boy

The Athens Archaeology Museum has hundreds of these statues, called "kore." They are memoria for the dead. And they all have the same figure and face. Creepy.

Mugged

Another gift from my consular team at my farewell lunch. This I will use often.

 

Gift from IRM

I received a gift at Andreas' going away party. It's a copy of the mother figure found at an archaeological site in Kosovo. The thing is famous locally and has become a kind of icon of the area. I'm not used to receiving gifts from Andreas' section. It will always remind me of them.

 

A Restart

I had to restart this because it wasn't going to fit on the fabric. Now it will. I've already done this pattern several times and should have known better.

 

Creepy Flower

A quick little finish! This is what happens when I bring a limited amount of stuff along to do.

 

More Fanning

The fans were barely begun last time. They are coming along quite a bit more this time.
