Back to the Tree

Still working on the tree side. I'm trying to get the page done, and there are about fifteen rows, more or less, to go. Slowly getting things filled in.

 

Luxi Beef Hot Pot

Turns out there is a Chinese restaurant close to our house that is part of a real Chinese chain. The food was good when we went for lunch, and we went back a couple months later for hot pot, too.

Five Words

Five words done, many to go. Some of these are the big ones, though, so you can see the front of the sewing machine.

 

Inspirations Order

I went a bit wild with an order from Inspirations, but if you're going to order from Australia, you might as well make it big, true? So lots of kits in surface embroidery and goldwork. Now I have to make a new excuse to start something.







 

New Drink

Leonora brought this back from Kosovo. It's by one of the gin makers, and is a hazelnut liquor with lavender. Have yet to taste it, but the bottle is fantastic.

 

Red Squirrel

Red squirrel in the back yard. I prefer these colorful little guys to the gray ones. They're always cheerful. Only problem is Grayson doesn't like them in the yard.

A Little Heart

I have a little heart in the middle now, plus a bit more with the middle of the whole thing.
