Half the Bulb

 

I have half the top bulb done here. A bit to go, but it should be a fairly quick stitch.

Bottom of Skirt Sighted

The very bottom of what I have done is the bottom band of the skirt - the end of the skirt is in sight.

 

Another Sewscription Box

I am thinking about discontinuing this subscription because I haven't had time to make much from them. I will hopefully have more time now that Andreas is home, but I thought I would have more when he left... and I ended up with less time to myself.

 

The Barracks





This was actually the barracks where the first battle of WWII began. There were fewer than 100 men. Yet they managed to hold out for two weeks.



 

More Mini Dioramas

Looking at the terrain and set up of the Battle of Waterloo.

Living Their Best Lives

All the puppies relaxing and enjoying their best lives.






 

On the Way to Underground

Hitler had a plan to build an underground city at the end of the war. He even started it. The plan was to have hundreds of square miles underground. This is one of the entrances, in a sleepy village in Poland. All of it is in what is now Poland, in the southwest corner. They used concentration camp slaves to build it. This is the nice little entryway.
Because all the workers were killed, this place and the plan weren't even discovered until decades after the war. Here's the entrance to the city. It was called Project Riese.
