Thank You Gift

Paulina gave me this in thanks for giving her some brisket. Poles love it too! Andreas ate the orange.

 

Chicken Kit

I ordered this kit from a Polish embroidery store. I didn't realize how -big- the stitches were at the time. It's a doorstop, and I know someone who likes both embroidery and chickens, so it's been gifted on.

 

Brisket

Brisket straight from the smoker. Polish beef. It's hard to get a good cap of fat on the brisket here, but it still tastes very good.

 

Working on Branches

I have never seen so many branches on a cactus.

 

Slogging Through Backstitching

I have most of the arch done and one side gargoyle. Progress, but -so much backstitch-.

 

Black Needle Society September

Lots of non-stitchy stuff and pattern I just don't like. I will be cancelling this subscription soon.

 

Black Dahlia

This Portland Leather Goods black backpack has become my everyday carry for the past month. Works well and weatherproof.
